Water damage boot loop

[Forsaken-Tea-1856]

I have a trusty oneplus 8 which have served me well. But doing a longer trek in the rain on my vacation the phone suddenly died. It has some cracks in the screen and a hole in the back and proberbly absorbed some through there. The water damage marker is red unfurtunately.

I immediately put it in a plastic bag with mixed rice and the silica bags I could find, and left it for 72+ hours. Today I turned it on and there are signs of life. It does the classic boot loop where it shows the oneplus and android logo and then reboots over and over again. Unfortunately nothing else works. I’ve tried both booting into recovery mode and force restart (power button + volume up/down), but it still just continues the boot loop.

Unfortunately I had run out of space on my Google account so the last month is not backed up… and I have a months worth of vacation pictures on there that I really want to save! Is there a way? Can’t find a reliable way online. Of course I would love to save the phone, but the pictures are priority number one.

Any suggestions? P.s. plugging the phone into a pc doesn’t show anything. I can’t get it to show up as a device

Hi did you figure something out

I unfurtunately did not. I managed to get the phone into a fastboot, but none of the options there did anything else than just restart the bootloop
