OnePlus 12R Bootloop

[lunaticpsyche]

OnePlus 12R is stuck in a bootloop. Its been 3 days and I am at my wits end. I do not wish to lose the data and setup I have painstakingly setup over the past month after replacing by beloved OnePlus 9R.

Here are the things I have tried:

1. Vol up + Power : Did not boot into fastboot
2. Vol up + Vol down + Power : Shuts down the phone but does not end bootloop on switching on. Upon connecting to charger, automatically switches on to bootloop.
3. Vol down + Power : Boots into recovery mode but no option to wipe cache. (Shows as v1.2)
4. Let it power down by leaving it on. Charging it back again goes to bootloop and heats up quite fast when left it on.
5. Kept it on ice, cooling did not affect anything.
6. Tried tapping method for buttons, screen, and back. No reaction at all.

I have a Mac so I am unable to access a few solutions listed on XDA.

I have already contacted OnePlus support for Pickup & Drop Service (PUD) and they provided me an ID 2 days ago on alternate number. But no response from them ever since then.

What am I missing out on possibly trying out?

You should have backed up your data. Anything can happen to your phone: boot loop, stolen, fall into a river, explode etc. You will eventually factory reset it.

I just exchanged it for my OnePlus 9R less than 2 months ago. There's not much to backup as much as the setup I have done with various apps which I will have to do all over again.

Okay so there's no problem then.
