The phone powered down after a complete battery drain. The reboot loop started after I turned it on after a bit of charging. Then even with battery 100% full, the reboot loop persisted.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to keep the phone running was to have it plugged into the power constantly. It&#8217;s exactly similar to the problem described <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/oneplus-one\/help\/oneplus-one-stuck-bootloop-charging-t3565871\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. While I figured it was a battery problem, many online forums pointed to reinstalling software.So, I quickly made a backup of the important stuff on the phone as I could enter the recovery mode with the USB cable plugged on. Then reinstalled OS without luck.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7iySiqIrpEM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While LineageOS got installed after a couple of tries, I couldn&#8217;t install (don&#8217;t know why). Which sort of put me off.<\/p>\n<p>If your phone is ~2.5-3 years old and if you face a fast drain or reboot loop with OnePlus One, highly likely the battery is dead. Don&#8217;t bother reinstalling OS or doing these trouble shooting <a href=\"https:\/\/oneplusstore.in\/support\/getsupport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steps<\/a> (Troubleshooting &gt; Battery, Power, Charging &gt; Device cannot power on). It&#8217;s a waste of 17 hours!<\/p>\n<p>Finally I got the battery replaced at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.in\/maps\/place\/Heera+Panna+Shopping+Center\/@19.0483778,72.7565338,12z\/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sheera+panna!3m4!1s0x3be7ce7145e07907:0x681b3a80f162e27f!8m2!3d18.9769973!4d72.8109983?dcr=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heera Panna<\/a> yesterday. This was because the OnePlus <a href=\"https:\/\/oneplusstore.in\/experience-service-centers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">service center<\/a>, which by the way promises a 1 hour service,\u00a0 informed me that it&#8217;ll take them 15 days to order a replacement battery for the Oneplus one. There was no way that I could survive for those many days without a phone (especially with a Jio connection).<\/p>\n<p>And since I was put off by my GApps experience, my quest\u00a0 to use a pure AOSP without Google &amp; Google Play Services started. A post on that soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in Mumbai and looking for a good place to get the phone repaired, check this <a href=\"https:\/\/lbb.in\/mumbai\/fast-phone-repair-mumbai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">list<\/a> or go to Heera Panna where you are very likely to find someone who can repair a phone in any condition. Almost every electronic shop there has some sort of repairing center. The only bit of advise, ask around and find a guy who you think knows his stuff and has the requisite parts. I found a shop called Dhruv collection (Shop # 33), 022 23512215 where the owner had a good knowledge of OnePlus models and did the replacement himself. I got the battery replaced in 5 minutes flat but had to wait ~30 minutes to charge and check it to my satisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of days ago, I started facing a reboot loop on my phone.
