After getting drained to 0% over night, my pixel 3 is now stuck at bootloop. Here's what i have tried so far
Charge to 100% and then try to power up(no luck)
Recovery mode is still accessible(locked bootloader, no root, no custom recovery). Tried to flash a recovery OTA(no luck)
I supposed a factory reset might let me use the phone, but recovering the data is of more priority to me.
Hey! I'm in the same exact boat right now; recovery OTA doesn't seem to have helped, and I really want to recover my data. Did you figure anything out?

I noticed One+ was a bit slow so I decided first to switch from power save to balanced and it was still going slow so I decided to do a reboot. After the reboot the phone got stuck at the boot animation. I can get into recovery tried a factory reset didnt help. Im wondering if i try flashing the OS if that would work. Plus what would be the best way to do so.
What ROM, Kernel are you using?
Switching from Power Save to Balanced shouldn't cause your phone to be stuck in a boot loop. Something else caused it.
Everything is stock, it was really weird I was considering maybe using adb to flash a stock img (although i have little experience doing that). I tried rebooting again to potentially start this process (this is after a good 5 or 6 reboots and a factory reset) and it started up to the welcome screen. Another side issue it seems like the factory resets for this device only wipe the apps + user data. I know if I was rooted i wouldnt expect the media to be wiped but its stock with the stock rom. I bought it off ebay and when i went to load my stuff i did a factory reset and noticed the previous owners data including call/text logs and contacts were all on the device

If you were to flash a stock image, it would be done in fastboot mode and not adb mode. So is your phone booting yet?
You can always adb sideload a custom ROM and flash that to get your phone to a bootable state again.
The phone booted up after a good 3 hours a factory reset and multiple reboots
I experienced the infamous boot loop problem on my Nexus 5. I'm running stock android, and it started after the battery was depleted overnight - and after I recharged the phone.
First I tried to to just clear the cache in Recovery Mode. It went into a long loop where every other second a flash would appear on screen with the 'No Command' screen. I decided to abort that after 30 minutes and try a Wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode.
It seems to work fine in the beginning, but after a while it begins with the same loop, where it occasionally shows the 'No Command' screen.
Seems like there is broken hardware - or do you have any ideas what the reason may be and how to amend it?
Try to reflash all stuff with google factory images and check if your problems still exist.
What do you mean by "It seems to work fine in the beginning"? You're able to boot into the OS? Could be a faulty/broken power button which might be causing the bootloop as well.
Anyways, as mentioned above, flash the factory images to rule out the possibility of a software issue.
I would recommend unlocking your bootloader, flashing a custom recovery, doing a wipe with that and then flashing a stock nandroid.
If you aren't good with adb, and you don't have an OTG cable, I would look into how to flash the factory images from Google first, then once you're all set with that do the above.
Thanks
Thanks guys. I decided that I would invoke my warrany from Google and get a new phone.
I hope someone else benefits from your suggestions, I would have if I didn't have my warranty...
I was charging my phone overnight. In the morning I realized it didn't charge, I tried to turn it on and it gets stuck on the HTC screen.
I was running Viper One 3.21, I tried rebooting, entered recovery, tried to reinstal a nandroid, got stuck on the screen again.
Tried reinstalling ViperOne same problem.
Here's what I know:
Fastboot will NOT work, while I can get to fastboot, any time I reboot the phone it gets stuck.
I can't get to RUU (because it wont go past the HTC screen).
adb sideload will not work
I've let the battery drain, fully charged it; no change.
I tried wiping and doing a factory reset but it just gets stuck on the reboot, I also noticed on the File manager within TWRP that my phone was never wiped.
Any ideas?

Sorta sounds like one of the bricked ones where the entire emmc goes write protected. If you can't get fastboot or ruu mode and have no warranty left I can take a look at it for you. I'm in PA so it wouldn't take long to mail it here.
Not sure how it got bricked, it has been over a month since I flashed anything.
I am able to use adb sideload, but any file I use it says is corrupted.
Could I partition part of the drive and try to instal from there?
What part of PA are you in?

I am down in the York/Harrisburg/Lancaster area. You don't want to partition emmc manually.
Ok, so I think I may have finally killed one of my S2 Skyrockets.
I attempted to use the factory reset function from within Candy 5.1.1. However, on reboot the phone entered TWRP, or rather tried. Instead of booting into the recovery, it just kept restarting over and over again. I couldn't get it to boot into the OS or TWRP.
Thinking I had just soft-bricked it, I went into ODIN mode and uploaded a full restore image. Now I don't get stuck in a TWRP bootloop, I am stuck in a different bootloot. I see "Rethink Possible" go black, wait a few seconds, then it restarts again. I have pulled the battery out several times, attempted to boot into recovery (where I get the original TWRP bootloop) etc.
Is there any way to recover this device, or am I hosed?
[UPDATE]
Ok, this was one of the scarier things I've run into, but I recovered the phone. I used the sammobile version of the UCMC1 image (which blows away everything). This didn't reboot, it just hung. However, I was able to get into 3e (the stock recovery) and do a factory reset. THAT got me past the block. I'm now in the process of putting TWRP back on along with Candy.
Apparently you REALLY don't want to screw with the factory reset function...
Recently I tried to root my phone by installing twrp recovery onto my J7 perx (j727p). I was able to successfully install twrp, but shortly after the installation my phone got stuck in a boot loop. I've searched the internet and so far these are the methods I have tried: factory reset, wiping caches, and PIT file. I have also tried to flash the stock firmware but it fails every time. At the moment I, I am attempting to use Octopus. Also, when I charge my phone, instead of showing the battery percentage it simply displays a battery with a lightning bolt in the center.
I would love to hear and appreciate any ideas that could potentially help fix my problem.
