I could be too nooby to do this.
Im starting from the full images from 1.1.7 then applying the updates with payload dumper.
But what payload dumper is extracting are not the correct images because of: 1) wrong partitions dimensions, 2) the images are not signed so the hash check which produce the error 20 will still fail.

Do you know any other way?

The local OTA update as it was described in a post here.
  1. set Timezone to China/Shanghai
  2. disable MGLRU v3
  3. adb reboot bootloader
  4. fastboot flash boot <stock 1.5.3 fix boot>.img
  5. boot to system
  6. dial *#*#682#*#* and select the 1.5.4. OTA Image
  7. ...wait for it to finish (~10 mins)
  8. adb reboot bootloader
  9. fastboot boot <magisk_1.5.4>.img
  10. install magisk through the app

Thanks but I don't need the local update procedure.

I need the full imgs of a fw we only have incremental zips of.

Reindex suggested GSIs.

Full images aren't available online unlike what Google does for its Pixel phones. So had to manage with the guide I quoted to update my sister's NP1 that she uses as a back up.

I can't dump the boot file with payload_dumper. it've worked perfectly before. Is it something to do with the OTA file?

Tried the pre-patched img file but the phone couldnt boot.

Have you tried to extract a boot image from an ota? It seems like they (images from payload dumper) are not signed (at least that's what i've read).

What slot is active? What file is not working? Is it from this thread?

I tried the files from Nothing phone Update Tracker here on XDA, both the regular and the incremental version. I even tried different forks of payload dumper, Python variant, one written in go and a GUI version. Received different error from all, i made a reddit post before with all the logs.

If you only need the boot.img file scroll down and directly download it.

Payload dumpers right now do not work with nothing os incremental otas.

Thank you! I downlaoded the stock image file, patched it and it worked.

Still don't quite understand why I couldn't extract the image from the payload myself though. I've done that numerous times on different phones included my nothing phone at an earlier software.

Normally I wouldn't care as long as there was boot images to download but I'm actually in the middle of creating a software that extracts payload from zip. image from payload, boots into fastmode and then boots into the image file automatically, but maybe I need to remove that feature.

I was also thinking about making it so I can patch the image with magisk with the software but after some research it seems to be very hard to port the magisk image patcher to pc, if not impossible.

Android 13 introduced xor compression for partitions, that could be causing some issues.

Let's end offtopic discussions now tho.

Is TWRP required/recommended for a rooted nothing phone? Want to download lsposed and don't want to risk a boot loop.

What I've seen nothing phone already had a recovery mode, as i guess every phone has. Is that one not as competent or why would you need TWRP?

You don't need twrp to be able to uninstall any modules that causes bootloop. See in this video how to do that without twrp.

You can root 153, you just need mglru disabler module to prevent freezes and crashes (bug with 153 fixed with 154)

You are probably missing adb and fastboot drivers.
Install them with the latest version of android sdk platform tools.

If you root 153 could you let me know before updating to a newer version? There are some files needed to solve an issue and you could help for the fix

    Thank you so much for explaining this!
    I just realised I had rooted it the wrong way, could you perhaps explain just a teeny bit more on that?
    So I have to flash the stock boot.img now? And then do I proceed with the update via dialer?
    And after that I have to proceed with booting magisk img to get root access again right

Didnt try patched one though cause i like to patch myself. Maybe non patched hotfix boot.img is corrupted or somethin? Well everything works now anyway as it should..

    So, in case I'm in another custom ROM, in order to go to 2.0.2, I have to:
    1. first flash 1.1.8 full
    2. then incremental 1.1.8 -> 1.5.4
    3. then incremental 1.5.4 -> 1.5.5
    4. then 1.5.5 -> 1.5.6
    5. then finally 1.5.6 -> 2.0.2
    is that it?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    You should

    - Download full 1.1.7 EEA or GLOBAL
    - Extract boot and vendor_boot from the fw with payload dumper (do not delete the zip file yet)
    - Boot the phone into fastboot
    - Flash those two .img files
    - Boot into recovery and select adb sideload
    - adb sideload the full zip previously downloaded
    - wipe/format data

    You can now boot your phone, if you want to root it remember to BOOT the magisk patched boot, not flash it and then do a direct installation of magisk through the app.

    For the other fw versions there could be some otas that jumps through a lot of them that we don't know about.

    I would suggest to not root the phone but perform updates through the settings app.

    NOTHING OS ZIP - DOWNLOAD OTA/FULL ZIP UPDATE FILES

    NOTHING OS IMG - DOWNLOAD BOOT IMAGES

    /!\ IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMANDED /!\
    to always using fastboot "boot" command installation
    instead directly "flash" a patched boot.img file to avoid any risk of brick

    Code: 
    .\fastboot boot Magisk_Patched_XXX.img
    ​

    By the way if Magisk patched boot file is good, device will boot temporary with root and install Magisk, you must simply install/apply root on the boot definitively :
    - Open Magisk > Install > Install Directly (Recommanded) > Reboot... Voila !

    If the Magisk patched boot file don't boot, just do a hard reboot/shutdown by pressing ON/OFF button +5 seconds, device reboot directly with your stock boot without problems.

    ​














    • Stock 1.1.8
    • Magisk Patched 1.1.8

    From BETA.2 onwards Boot Images are unified meaning that the same img can be used for both Global and EEA versions!

    From 1.5.2 onwards Boot Images are unified meaning that the same img can be used for both Global and EEA versions!










    What are the regional variants of Nothing OS ?

    Nothing offers two distinct regional variants of Nothing OS.
    • Intended for European countries is the "EEA" version, as it meets the requirements of the European Privacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
    • The other version, the so-called "Global Version" is intended for Asian and Australian devices.
    You can easily control the regional setting of your Phone(1) by going to your Shell terminal or Android emulator (e.g. Fuss, Termux) and executing the following command if on Nothing OS >= 1.5:
    Code: 
    getprop ro.product.name

    If Nothing OS <1.5
    Code: 
    getprop ro.product.system.name
    • These commands will return "SpacewarEEA" if the device is delivered with the European firmware.
    • For International models, the result should be "Spacewar" only.

    NOTHING OS - Older News
    Nothing just published this blog post:

    nothing.tech/blogs/news/android-14-beta

    It's really early in development, read carefully the post if you want to try Android 14 on Nothing Phone (1)
    Code: 
    error code -2: pre-build-incremental is different from ro.build.date.utc
    This is what many people are reporting while trying to update to 1.5.3.HOTFIX or 1.5.4

    Go to Settings, System, Date and Time, remove automatic time zone and set it manually to China, Shangai was the only option working for me.
    Now reopen the offline updater and try starting the update once again

    Don't forget to set automatic time zone again after you are done!
    The cause of the instability of rooted system with 1.5.3(/hotfix) is the implementation of MGLRU, a new way to handle processes and memory while the phone is under pressure.
    This module should fix the issue:

    GitHub - LukeSkyD/NP1-MGLRU-FIX: Magisk module to fix freezes and crashes on NP1 phone

    Magisk module to fix freezes and crashes on...
    github.com github.com

    If you encounter freezes or crashes user @gwolfu made this module which script runs every 30s to force MGLRU to stay disabled:

    GitHub - gwolf2u/MGLRU-Disabler

    Contribute to gwolf2u/MGLRU-Disabler...
    github.com github.com
    Both 1.5.3 and 1.5.3.hotfix versions of NOTHING OS are currently unstable if the device is rooted and booting a magisk patched boot img.
    An issue has been opened on magisk github.
    For now if you want root and a stable device stick to 1.5.2, do not update until the cause of freezes is found.

    HOW TO PERFORM OTA UPDATES
    In red there are instructions that root users must follow to correctly update their phones
    By my tests, rebooting with magisk after an ota always leads to a bootloop

    Dialer method (recommended for root users)
    Download the right incremental from HERE
    In your phone's memory outside any folder, create a new folder called
    Code: 
    ota
    and place the previously downloaded .zip file there

    Open magisk, select uninstall, restore stock images

    if the operation is successful proceed, otherwise you'll need to boot into fastboot and flash stock boot img for your fw version with the command
    Code: 
    fastboot flash boot *stock boot file.img*
    Boot then magisk patched boot with the command
    Code: 
    fastboot boot *magisk patched boot file.img*

    Open the dialer app and dial
    Code: 
    *#*#682#*#*
    start the update and wait for it to finish

    When the message asking you to reboot appears, go back to your phone's homescreen (by pressing the home button or by swiping if you have gestures enabled) without selecting anything
    Open Magisk, on Magisk's tab, select install
    Then select install on inactive slot (ota) and wait for it to finish

    Reopen the dialer updater app which we left open before and
    select reboot

    you will reboot with the newer fw while rooted

    Settings app
    Beware of being two magisk patched boot talked about in this procedure: the newer fw magisk patched boot img and the current fw magisk patched boot img

    Download the Magisk patched boot img for the newer sw version you are going to install on your phone from     HERE

    Open magisk, select uninstall, restore stock images

    if the operation is successful proceed, otherwise you'll need to boot into fastboot and flash stock boot img for your fw version with the command
    Code: 
    fastboot flash boot *stock boot file.img*
    Boot then magisk patched boot img of you "old" fw with the command
    Code: 
    fastboot boot *magisk patched boot file.img*

    Open Settings' app, go to System, System update and start the update
    Press the reboot button when it finishes.

    After the phone turns off, press and hold VOL DOWN to boot into fastboot
    Launch the command
    Code: 
    fastboot boot *new magisk patched boot file.img*
    To boot to the newer fw while semi-rooted
    To keep root once the phone boots up and the update notification finishes, open Magisk, select install and then direct installation

    Couldn't update - Installation problem / Error 20
    1693842774926.png

    This error will be displayed if you are trying to perform an OTA Update with non-stock/broken partitions.

    If you are rooted you probably didn't restore the stock boot image before updating, but there could also be other reasons.
    Other broken partitions.

    For now, only phones with an unlocked bootloader can fix this issue.

    Reading through this thread (and other threads in this forum), I see a lot of users facing issues updating their devices, especially with root. Even I have faced issues with updating and I try different methods to fix it, but there is still no single method that works 100% of the time. Sometimes local update method works, sometimes sideloading with ADB, etc.

    It would be great if you could create a guide for updating their devices with root, possibly with all the different methods and troubleshooting methods. I do not mean unlocking or rooting, but updating NP1 by keeping root access. Sure, there are a lot of individual posts on this topic spread across this forum, as threads and as comments in threads like these, but I think it would be better to have it in one of the reserved sections in the original guide thread.

    Thank you and kudos for the great job you do here. :)
