Nothing Phone (2) Archive

• A comprehensive collection of unmodified Full OTA update packages & stock OTA images for Nothing Phone (2).

Downloads

• Downloads are tagged with POST_OTA_VERSION & NothingOS version here.

• Official Full OTA Update Package is marked -FullOTA. Extract the splitted 7z parts to get the <name>-FullOTA.zip.

Categories

• The Stock OTA image files are categorized and archived in .7z format based on boot, logical, and firmware categories.
• The categorization mentioned below does not apply to the 2.5.5-Hotfix or releases made prior to it. Users should manually relocate the dtbo, vbmeta_system & vbmeta_vendor images from the firmware to the boot category folder after extraction for these specific releases. This has been resolved in subsequent releases.

boot, dtbo, vendor_boot, recovery, vbmeta, vbmeta_system & vbmeta_vendor

Disclaimer

• While this is a collection of unmodified images, you still need to have the bootloader unlocked.

• You can re-lock the bootloader after flashing images.

• SHA-1 hash of <name>-FullOTA.zip file has been provided. It is to be noted that the built-in NothingOS Offline Updater Tool autonomously verifies file integrity. It initiates the update process only if the file aligns with the hash values specified in payload-properties.txt, which is obtained during the creation of the update package.

• It's important to note that full OTA packages may not be consistently available with every release.

Manual Sideloading of Full OTA Packages

A. Via Stock Nothing Offline OTA Updater Tool (Locked BL):

1. To flash stock, unmodified official Full OTA packages, extract the files using 7z to obtain the -FullOTA.zip file.
2. Using your preferred file manager, create a folder named 'ota' at the root of your storage.
3. Copy the -FullOTA.zip into the newly created 'ota' folder.
4. Open your dial pad and type *#*#682#*#*.
5. The manual update utility will launch, scanning and locating your previously downloaded update file.
6. Tap to begin the update. The process will take about 10-15 minutes (duration may vary).
7. Enjoy your updated device after reboot!

B. Via Custom Recovery (Unlocked BL):

• Alternatively, users can directly flash these full OTA packages using available custom recoveries for Nothing Phone (2), such as TWRP or OrangeFox.

NothingMuchROM

• You can use this repository to flash non-super partitions to the latest stock to be used with NothingMuchROM by arter97.

• Skip downloading -logical files, and follow the above steps but answer "N" to Flash logical partition images? during Pong_fastboot_flasher's installation.

Integrity Check

• You can check the downloaded file's integrity with one of the following commands :

  md5sum -c *-hash.md5
  sha1sum -c *-hash.sha1
  sha256sum -c *-hash.sha256
  xxh128sum -c *-hash.xxh128

• xxh128 is usually the fastest.
