Overview

Nothing Archive is the most up-to-date Nothing OS firmware repository, offering official OTA updates, full firmware packages, and stock OTA images for Nothing and CMF by Nothing phones. All files are sourced directly from official OEM servers and archived for long-term preservation and easy access.

Features & Benefits

  • Direct OTA Indexing: Tracks Nothing OS OTA update links from official servers, providing access to incremental and full updates.
  • Manual Installation: Install firmware manually during staged rollouts or when updates fail using the built-in offline updater or via ADB sideload.
  • Stock OTA Images: Provides unmodified images for upgrades, downgrades, and partition flashing when full packages are unavailable.
  • Rooting & Unrooting Support: Provides stock boot images for Magisk, KernelSU, and Apatch, while allowing unrooting by flashing the original boot image.
  • Device Recovery: Provides fastboot-flashable Nothing OS firmware to resolve boot loops, recover soft-bricked devices, and restore stock ROM.

••••••••••••••••••••••

Disclaimer

By using this archive, users acknowledge and accept these terms:

  • Authenticity: All firmware files are unaltered, unmodified, and sourced directly from the OEM.
  • Flash at Your Own Risk: Installing firmware on an unlocked bootloader carries inherent risks. Follow instructions carefully to avoid bricking your device.
  • Compatibility: Ensure the firmware matches your Nothing or CMF device variant before installation.
  • No Warranty: This is a community-driven project, unaffiliated with Nothing. The author and contributors are not liable for bricked devices due to misuse or firmware modifications.
  • Integrity: Redistribution is permitted only with proper attribution. Reselling freely available firmware is strictly prohibited.

••••••••••••••••••••••

Notes

  • Releases for OTA images are tagged using the format <POST_OTA_VERSION>, as shown in the releases section.
  • Region-specific releases are tagged as <POST_OTA_VERSION>-<GLO/EEA>, applicable to older Spacewar builds. GLO = Global; EEA = European Economic Area.
  • Nothing OS Open Beta Test releases are denoted by OBT.
  • Android Developer preview releases are tagged as 0.0.0-dev+<Device Codename>.<Incremental Date>.
  • Unless stated otherwise, releases are compatible with all regional and color variants of the device.

Guides

I. OTA Sideloading

Note

  • Bootloader unlocking is not mandatory to sideload incremental OTA updates. Skip Step A unless you are a rooted user.
  • Sideloading official incremental or full OTA updates is safe as long as they are downloaded directly from this archive.
  • Do not use third-party sources. All firmware in the Nothing Archive is sourced directly from Nothing’s official OEM servers.
    This can be verified by inspecting the download URL(s) in the incremental OTA section, which point to official server and not third-party file hosts.
  • The built-in Nothing OS offline updater only accepts OEM-signed update packages.
  • The updater verifies the firmware hash before installation and will fail if an incorrect or mismatched OTA zip is used.
  • The same verification applies to full OTA packages; they will not install unless their integrity is intact.
  • Because of these checks, it is not possible to brick your device by sideloading an official OTA zip on a locked bootloader.
  • For Open Beta Test updates, sideload them via Nothing Beta Updater Hub (name might change in future) provided by the OEM if the dialer method does not work You can launch the interface from Settings. This happenes when you have installed the OEM's beta updater app which overrides the stock inbuilt version.
  • For visual references, see the images here in the listed order.

A. Restoring Stock Partitions (For Rooted Users Only)

If your bootloader is locked, skip directly to Point B!

  1. Check your current Nothing OS version:

    • Go to Settings > About phone > Tap the device banner.
    • Note down the build number.

  2. Fetch stock images for your current firmware build:

    • Download the -boot-image.7z file.
    • Extract the archive to obtain .img files.

  3. Identify the required partitions:

    • Qualcomm Devices: boot, init_boot vendor_boot, recovery, vbmeta
    • MediaTek Devices: init_boot, vbmeta, lk

  4. Flash stock partitions in bootloader mode:

    Only modified partitions are required to be flashed. Also skip any missing partitions based on your SoC platform.

    fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash init_boot init_boot.img
fastboot flash --slot=all lk lk.img

  5. Reboot to system and update via System Updater:

    • If the update fails, proceed with manual sideloading in the next section.

  6. Restoring Root (Optional):

    • After updating, you may re-root by flashing a patched boot image for the updated NOS version.
    • Modules will remain intact after re-rooting.

B. Proceed with Sideloading

  • Download the Correct Update Firmware File:

    • Find the correct OTA firmware file for your device from here.

  • How to Select the Right File?

    • Navigate to the repository and select your device model.
    • Look for the Incremental OTA column.
    • Verify your current OS Build Number:
    • Go to: Settings > System > About Phone.
    • Tap the device banner and note the Build Number.

  • Example:

    • Suppose your Phone (2) has the build number: Pong_U2.6-241016-1700
    • Assuming the latest available OTA update available being: Pong_V3.0-241226-2001
    • The corresponding update pathway would be: Pong_U2.6-241016-1700 -> Pong_V3.0-241226-2001
    • Ensure you select the correct pathway based on your device and OS version.
    • Refer to this for better clarity.

  • Create the ota Folder:

    • Create a folder named ota in your device's internal storage, full path being: 
      /sdcard/ota/
    • Move the downloaded <firmware>.zip file to this folder.

  • Access the Nothing Offline OTA Updater:

    • Open the Phone app and dial: 
      *#*#682#*#*
    • This will launch the built-in offline updater tool.
    • The UI may show NothingOfflineOtaUpdate or NOTHING BETA OTA UPDATE — both work.

  • Apply the Update:

    • The updater will automatically detect the update file.
    • If not detected, manually browse and import the OTA file.
    • Tap Directly Apply OTA or Update (based on the app UI).
    • Wait for the update to complete —your device will reboot automatically.

  • Note:

    • If the updater shows an unknown error, try using the "Browse" option instead of manually copying the file to the "ota" folder.
    • Full OTA firmware can be sideloaded if incremental OTA fails.
      • Full OTA cannot be used to downgrade — it can only update to the same or a higher build.
      • Unlocked bootloader users can flash full OTA via custom recoveries (e.g., OrangeFox for Phone (2)).
    • Not every release has a Full OTA file — use incrementals instead in such cases.

II. Unlocking Bootloader

Important

  • Unlocking the bootloader voids the OEM warranty. However, you can reflash the stock ROM and relock the bootloader to restore it.
  • Regardless of other factors, you will lose Widevine L1/DRM certification, which will downgrade to L3.
    This cannot be fixed unless the bootloader is locked again.
  • You will lose device integrity, which may cause apps relying on this to stop working unless fixed later with root access.
    This guide may be helpful for resolving this issue.

A. Prerequisites

  • Backup your data (unlocking will erase everything).
  • Install ADB & Fastboot tools – Download here.
  • Install USB drivers – Google USB Drivers.
  • Enable Developer Options:
    • Settings > About phone > Tap "Build number" 7 times.
  • Enable USB Debugging & OEM Unlocking:
    • Settings > System > Developer options > Enable USB Debugging & OEM Unlocking.
  • Remove Screen Lock/PIN/Password and Logged-in Accounts (optional but recommended)
    • Removing accounts before relocking the bootloader helps prevent Google FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock. If FRP is triggered, the device will ask for the previously linked Google account after a factory reset. If you forget the credentials or can't access the account, you may be locked out of your device. To avoid this, it's recommended to remove all Google accounts before relocking.

B. Unlocking Process

  • Connect your phone to a PC via USB.

  • Open a command prompt in the platform-tools folder:

    • Windows: Shift + Right Click > Open Command Prompt/Powershell here.
    • Mac/Linux: Open Terminal and navigate to platform-tools.

  • Verify device connection:

    adb devices

    If prompted, allow USB debugging on the phone.

  • Reboot to bootloader:

    adb reboot bootloader

  • Verify fastboot connection:

    fastboot devices

    If no device is detected, reinstall USB drivers.

  • Unlock the bootloader:

    fastboot flashing unlock

  • Confirm on your phone:

    • Use Volume Keys to navigate and Power Button to confirm.
    • Your device will erase all data and reboot.

C. Post-Unlock

  • Set up your phone again.

  • Verify bootloader status:

    Settings > System > Developer options > OEM Unlocking should be enabled.

  • Bootloader is now unlocked and your device will show an Orange State warning at boot—this is normal.


••••••••••••••••••••••

III. Backing Up Essential Partitions After Unlocking Bootloader

Important

  • After unlocking the bootloader, it is crucial to back up essential partitions such as persist, modemst1, modemst2, fsg, etc., before flashing custom ROMs or kernels.
  • These partitions contain important data, including IMEI, network settings, and fingerprint sensor calibration.
  • If lost or corrupted, your device may experience loss of cellular connectivity, fingerprint issues, or even become bricked.
  • Creating backups ensures you can restore your device if something goes wrong.

A. Requirements

  • Unlocked bootloader
  • Root access (via Magisk/KSU/Apatch)
  • Termux app (install via F-Droid or Play Store)
  • Check Partition Paths:
    • Qcom devices: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/
    • MTK devices: /dev/block/by-name/

B. Backup Instructions

  • For Qualcomm (QCom) Devices:

    • Open Termux and grant root access using:

      su

    • Copy and paste the following command in one go:

      mkdir -p /sdcard/partitions_backup
ls -1 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name | grep -v userdata | grep -v super | \
while read f; do dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/$f of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/${f}.img; done

      This will create image files of all partitions except super & userdata in the Internal Storage inside a folder named "partitions_backup".

    • [Optional] If the above command fails, try this alternative:

      mkdir -p /sdcard/partitions_backup
for partition in /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/*; do \
[[ "$(basename "$partition")" != "userdata" && "$(basename "$partition")" != "super" ]] && \
cp -f "$partition" /sdcard/partitions_backup/; done

  • For MediaTek (MTK) Devices:

    • Open Termux and grant root access using:

      su

    • Copy and paste all the following commands in one go:

      mkdir -p /sdcard/partitions_backup/
cd /sdcard/partitions_backup
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/nvram of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/nvram.img
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/nvdata of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/nvdata.img
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/persist.img
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/nvcfg of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/nvcfg.img
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/protect1 of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/protect1.img
dd if=/dev/block/by-name/protect2 of=/sdcard/partitions_backup/protect2.img

C. Storing Backup

  • Move the "partitions_backup" folder to your PC or secure storage.
  • Do NOT share these backups! They contain unique device data like IMEI.

D. Restoring Partitions

  • MTK Devices:

    fastboot flash nvram nvram.img
fastboot flash nvdata nvdata.img
fastboot flash nvcfg nvcfg.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img

    Reboot to recovery mode → Perform factory reset → Reboot to system.

  • QCom Devices:

    fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.img
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.img

    Factory reset is not mandatory in this case.

IV. Flashing the Stock ROM Using Fastboot

Note

  • This is the only recommended method for manually clean flashing to a newer version of stock firmware or downgrading.
  • For a better understanding, refer to the visual guides linked alongside: The Nothing Lab | QZX Tech

A. Preparation of Flashing Folder:

  • Download the following files for your device model and firmware build and place them in a dedicated folder:

    • image-boot.7z
    • image-firmware.7z
    • image-logical.7z.001-00x
    • -hash.sha256 - This is optional but recommended if you want to verify integrity of image files and also check for missing ones.

  • Install 7-Zip from here.

  • Extract files:

    • Windows: Right-click → Extract to "*"
    • Bash users: 7za -y x "*.7z*"

B. Proceeding with Flashing:

  • Install compatible USB drivers from here.
  • Ensure that Android Bootloader Interface is visible in Device Manager when the device is in bootloader mode.
  • If the extraction script was used earlier, execute it directly. Otherwise:
    • Move all extracted image files into a single folder along with the Nothing Fastboot Flasher Script.
    • Place the -hash.sha256 file in the same directory.
    • Always download the latest script to ensure hotfixes are included.
  • Run the script while connected to the internet (to fetch latest platform-tools) and follow the prompts:
    • Answer the confirmation questionnaire.
    • Skip or proceed with hash checks accordingly.
    • Choose whether to wipe data: (Y/N) [Clean Flash / Downgrade = Y | Dirty Flash / Upgrade = N]
    • Choose whether to flash to both slots: (Y/N)
    • Disable Android Verified Boot: (N) [Please note that if you choose Y here, bootloader cannot be unlocked later on!]
  • Verify that all partitions have been successfully flashed.
    • If successful, choose to reboot to system: (Y)
    • If errors occur, reboot to bootloader and reflash after addressing the failure. Rebooting to system without doing so might result in soft/hard bricks.

V. Relocking Bootloader

A. Prerequisites

  • Remove Screen Lock/PIN/Password and Logged-in Accounts (optional but recommended).
  • Clean-flash the stock ROM following Flashing Guide. Relocking the bootloader with modified partitions without flashing stock firmware may brick the device!
  • Backup all data (relocking will erase everything).
  • Install ADB & Fastboot tools and USB drivers if not already set up.

B. Relocking Process

  • If you are in the system, reboot to bootloader:

    adb reboot bootloader

  • Verify fastboot connection:

    fastboot devices

  • Initiate bootloader relocking:

    fastboot flashing lock

  • Confirm on your phone:

    • Use Volume Keys to navigate and Power Button to confirm.
    • The device will be formatted and reboot with a locked bootloader.

C. Post-Relock

  • Set up your device again.
  • The bootloader is now locked!
