How to Fix OnePlus 13 Stuck on Boot Screen

If your OnePlus 13 is stuck on the boot screen, showing only the logo and not proceeding any further, it can be alarming. This issue often happens after a failed update, incompatible apps, or corrupted system data. Fortunately, there are several ways to get your phone working again without losing your files right away.

Why Your OnePlus 13 Might Be Stuck on the Boot Screen

• A recent system update failed or was interrupted.
• Cache or temporary data became corrupted.
• Incompatible apps are causing the system to hang during startup.
• Insufficient storage or internal system errors.
• Faulty third-party modifications or software bugs.

Force Restart Your Phone.

A force restart helps close frozen processes and can often bring the device back to normal. It’s the first step to try before anything else.

1. Press and hold the Power and Volume Up keys simultaneously.
2. Keep holding until the OnePlus logo appears again and the device restarts normally.

If the phone reboots successfully, clear some storage and uninstall any recent apps that might have caused the issue.

Charge Your Device.

Sometimes, a nearly drained battery prevents the phone from booting properly. Charging ensures enough power for the system to start completely.

1. Plug your OnePlus 13 into the original charger.
2. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes before trying to power it on again.

While charging, look for signs of life like vibration or the battery icon. If it stays blank, try a different cable or charger.

Boot Into Safe Mode.

Safe Mode disables third-party apps, allowing you to check if one of them is responsible for the problem.

1. Press and hold the Power key until the OnePlus logo appears.
2. When the logo shows, release the Power key, then immediately press and hold the Volume Down key.

If the device boots in Safe Mode, uninstall any recently installed apps or updates that might have caused the boot loop. Then restart normally.

Wipe Cache Partition.

Corrupted cache files can trap your phone in a boot loop. Clearing the cache does not delete your personal data but removes temporary files that might cause startup issues.

1. Turn off your OnePlus 13 completely.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys until the OnePlus Recovery screen appears.
3. Use the volume keys to highlight Wipe cache, then confirm with the Power key.

After wiping, select Reboot system now. Check if your device starts normally.

Perform a Factory Reset.

If all other methods fail, a factory reset may be necessary to eliminate deep software errors. This step erases all data, so consider it only if nothing else works.

1. Turn off your phone, then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys to enter Recovery mode.
2. Select Wipe data/factory reset, then confirm.
3. Once the reset completes, select Reboot system now.

Factory reset removes any corrupted files or configurations that prevent the phone from booting.

If your OnePlus 13 remains stuck after all these steps, the problem might be hardware-related, and professional service is recommended.
