Unbricking Nothing phone 1: Flash Stock Firmware with Fastboot




Warning : The process below will erase all the data on your device. So, I invite you to make a full backup of the device beforehand.
Unfortunately, as I don't own the Phone(1) yet, I am unable to take screenshots with the Phone(1) at the moment. As soon as I can, I will put them online to finalize the tutorial. Thank you for your understanding


STEP 1: What you need and read before the process.
It’s really important for a process without problems

1. Install Android SDK and the Platform-tools folder
2. Download the Nothing OS version you need (see this post)
3. Extract the "payload bin" file from the rom
4. Extract the Firmware Stock "boot.img" from the rom (see this tutorial)
5. Unlock the bootloader of your Phone(1) (see this tutorial)

STEP 2: Boot the bricked phone 1 into Fastboot mode
Very often, a soft-bricked or boot-looped device may already be in Fastboot mode. However, if you are stuck in a boot-loop, long press the Power key to turn it off.

Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys (or Power and Volume Up keys on some devices) simultaneously to boot your device into Fastboot mode.

In case you are unable to turn off your device, let the battery discharge. Once it is drained, connect it to the charger. Then, as soon as it is about to start, use the Power and Volume Up/Down keys and it will start directly in Fastboot mode.


STEP 3: Format the device via Fastboot
1.Go to the platform-tools folder where the extracted ROM is located.
2.Then go to its address bar, type CMD in its address, and press Enter. This will launch the CMD window.
3.Now run the following command to perform a factory reset (optional but recommended)

fastboot -w

STEP 4: Flash the Nothing Phone 1 firmware via the Fastboot commands

1. Run the commands below in the CMD window [which is open in the platform-tools folder] to flash the partition file.
2. Very Important: Only run one command at a time. If you get an error, however, do not exit the process halfway, but go on to the next flashing command instead.
3. Don't forget to check your command line before validating it, because often a small error blocks you!

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

flash fastboot xbl xbl.img

Step 5: If you have not had any errors, then you can run the command below to boot your device onto the operating system.

fastboot reboot

Well done , you have just debricked your Nothing Phone 1 by flashing the stock firmware via the fastboot commands.
I hope this tutorial has helped you find your Phone(1).
Thanks

Thanks for you work my friend.

In code you say "flash fastboot xbl xbl.img" but i guess its supposed to be "fastboot flash xbl xbl.img"?

Can i use this guide to go from 1.1.4 to 1.1.3?

I actually don't suggest to downgrade the phone, btw try my tool https://github.com/sh4tteredd/nothing-phone-1-tools

Is there a reason why we should not downgrade?

How should your tool help me with going back to 1.1.3?

if you're on 1.1.4, this phone tecnically has a very strict anti rollback check, so I won't risk if I were in you.

is your phone global or EEA?

 

[xtcislove]

is your phone global or EEA?

EEA. Sadly because if im right the Full Package of global 1.1.4 Hotix is already uploaded.

Hi guys!
A quick clarifying question so as not to waste time.

Step 2 - Rooting your Nothing Phone 1 with Magisk -> 2. Download the full OTA package … for the Nothing Phone 1 is Global Full Nothing OS 1.1.2 ZIP…

If I have 1.1.4 EEA I can't root now?

____

Oh, I already see in the topic "Repo of Nothing OS" European Nothing OS Update OTA 1.1.4 - 17/09/2022.

Is this exactly what you need for point 2?​

No, it's the OTA files, not the full package Nothing OS 1.1.4.

 

[AndroVi]

No, it's the OTA files, not the full package Nothing OS 1.1.4.

So at the moment on firmware 1.1.4 I can not have root, right?

You can root 1.1.4 like everything else.

Im on eea 1.1.4 and I cant find the boot image anywhere. Is it possible to extract it with payload dumper myself or do I have to wait for an official release or something. Been searching for some days and couldn't find anything

A kind guy @HofaTheRipper
has shared his boot.img image from Magisk backup, so you can use this boot.img in your Magisk for patch it :

boot_1.1.4_EEA.img

Hi all i flashed Paranoid android to try it out the rom is smooth and clean
but some banking apps dont work (says"disconnect debugger") and few chargers keep doing a loop of charging and disconnecting.

now i tried rolling back with the github files followed the instructions carefully and kept getting (NO SUCH PARTITION) i searched for a fix and still no luck. only thing i can do now is to flash the PA rom again and it works just fine.

is there any other way to roll back to 1.1.4 (thats the version i was in while flashing PA)

thank you in advance guys

Hello Guys, Do you know how to open diag port in this model?

Hey everyone,

Following my post of 10 Oct 2022, I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get anyone to take over my threads.

Spoiler: Post - 10 Oct 2022

Hello everyone,
To all members who own the Nothing Phone (1).
I am looking for someone to take over my threads.
Indeed, I was thinking of buying the Phone(1) and that's why I wrote all its threads.
Since I don't own this smartphone, I can't see myself maintaining it and continuing to answer technical questions that I can't answer now.
In case nobody would like to continue the follow-up of my threads, they would be left to the abandonment.
This is why I would like one or more members to offer to continue the maintenance.
For this:

• The member(s) must be active on the threads,
• Have a minimum of knowledge about Android 12, or even 13.
• You need to be available and regular. Not necessarily every day, but at least once a week, ideally 2 to 3 times a week.

You can contact me by PM only.

And so as I announced, as of today, I will no longer be doing any maintenance on all of my threads concerning the Nothing Phone(1).
From this day on, I decline any responsibility for what will be written or modified in my threads.

I wish you all a good continuation under the colours of Nothing.
