So like an idiot I managed to wipe everything from the phone, now it just freezes during boot screen. I've successfully rooted it (Installed TWRP and SuperSU) but decided I want to go back to be able to OTA update. I don't know what I was thinking but I wiped everything from the phone without backing it up Now I'm stuck with no OS and unable to flash anything on it.
Code:
***RELOCKED***
htc_hiau_ml_tuhl PVT S-ON
LK-1.01.0000
OpenDSP-UNKNOWN
OS-1.90.401.3
mid: 0PK711000
cid: HTC__J15
I've tried to flash RUU 1.90.401.3 from fastboot but I get
Code:

Then I tried some other RUU's (1.32.401.8 and 2.30.401.1) to no avail. I get the same error. I've read all the threads that I could find here about people who can't flash their RUU, I've searched the interwebs for fixes to "Invalid sparse file format" error and could find anything to make it work. I ended up relocking bootloader and now I can't even enter recovery mode.
I don't know what to do anymore so, I'm asking here maybe someone else knows what I should do and guides me. After two days I don't care about the root or the twrp, I just hope I didn't bricked it for good :crying:, just want to go back to factory settings and make it work.
Thanks.
[edit]
I've unlocked the bootloader again and tried installing the same RUU's from sd with twrp but as soon as I swipe right it restarts twrp and nothing happens.
[edit2]
I've found a fastboot.exe which works with big size zip-files in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73241261&postcount=1367 (thanks ziand_)
Now I get some other errors

I'm guessing that I'm using the wrong RUU for my phone
I'll canvas the[RUU]M9+ RUU file by xiaolongzi maybe I'll find the answer there
if anyone could tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be really neat.
[edit3]
***FIXED***
*probably
I flashed one of these stock firmware recoveries
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...al/firmware-stock-recoveries-regions-t3120826
and after that
htc_fastboot_3.0.9.2 oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot_3.0.9.2 flash zip HTC_Europe_1.90.401.3.zip
after that it rebooted just fine, I even managed to make the official update to marshmallow
so, yeah, good job me :good:

Hi all
My phone is in bootloop since many day. I was on Lineage 18.1 with deezer and google maps installed (only theses 2 apps)
After turning off (for the first time) because there was no battery left. It never restarted
And even worse, the erecoevery is no longer accessible, the TWRP is broken ..
I only have access to Fastboot.
I tested flashing a TWRP or booting on a TWRP via fastboot command ... Impossible. It crashes before splash to the TWRP. (which appears an half second)
I tested hisuite which recognizes my phone in fastboot but does not recognize the model and refuses to restore a system: "device not supported"
I am trying to flash a complete system (via command terminal or via ZRK tool) = impossible to reboot
Bellow the result of my commands
Does anyone have a suggestion for me ?

Hi...
you write that you flashed a TWRP via fastboot and then try to reboot from fastboot mode to TWRP recovery right?
But there is no command to reboot from fastboot directly to recovery like fastboot reboot-recovery or some thing else!
you just can use the command fastboot reboot
then instant unplug the usb-cable and press/hold Vol+ button
i repeat...
fastboot reboot-->enter
unplug the usb cable
press and hold Vol+ button (just the 1 button Vol+ nothing more needet)
good luck

Welcome to this unbrick tutorial
NB: I state immediately that i'm not responsible for any damage that occurs on your phone. This process worked for my Nothing Phone on 1.1.3, but maybe not on yours.
I do not suggest following this tutorial if you are on 1.1.4 but since your phone is already out of usage, you can try on your own.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader. Note that all your data will be lost.
You are missing some of the phone partitions? This might solve your issue.
Let's begin!
MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Latest platform tools correctly installed Link
- Unlocked bootloader both classic and critical unlock Link
- Sh4ttered Tool (download the version that matches the version you are trying to restore when you bricked your phone ) Link
- Super partition listed in post #2 and corresponding to your device version and region
- PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
- USB type C cable
- Drivers of Nothing Phone installed
STEP 1 : Prepare everything
Extract the super partition from the zip to the platform tools folder and rename it super.img. Boot your device into Fastboot mode through power + Vol -
Once into fastboot mode, launch a CMD window into your platform tool folder by typing cmd in the search bar of your platform tool folder.
Then, connect your phone to the computer and type the command :
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If a line appears, your phone is correctly connected.
Type the command :
fastboot flash super super.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it flashed correctly, you should see something like this :
C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash super super.img

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once that step is done, your phone has now working super partitions.
STEP 2 : Flash stock firmware
After flashing super.img, you have to flash all the left partitions. For that, with powershell, run the Download.ps1 made by Sh4ttered and downloaded earlier.
Download the correct region and version of the firmware.
Once the Firmware is downloaded, you should see a new fw.zip
Run the flash_all.bat script, it should flash all the partitions without issues.
If something went wrong, tell me in the comment section.
Then, your device should reboot.
STEP 3 : Check your slots
If your device is still not booting, simply change the slot you're on with the following commands :
fastboot reboot fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should reboot into fastbootd.
Then use :
fastboot getvar all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Look for the line where it says current-slot and it will tell you if it's A slot or B slot
Once you know on wich slot you are, try booting on the other one by running this last command :
fastboot set_active b
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on a slot, or :
fastboot set_active a
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on b slot.
Reboot your phone after that, and you should boot normally.
If not, let me know your issues in the comments by posting your logs and explaining me where you had an error.
Sorry for my bad english sometimes
Huge thanks to XDA Community, ssut for payload-dumper-go, Sh4ttered and his team for his tool.
Update :
Here are listed all the Super Partitions available for us to fix our Nothing :
1.1.3 EEA : Link
1.1.4 Global : Link
More to come...
Remember that you have to download the Sh4ttered tool version according to the version you are trying to restore.
Again, feel free to share a backup of yours that is not listed here to help other in need

Can you upload it and share the link?
I've tried this on my Nothing Phone (1) EEA version which bootloops. It doesn't work. Whilst booting from the A slot, there's the 15 seconds of splash screen, then it reboots, same as before.
There were problems with wiping userdata. It only works on userspace fastboot (fastbootd). The flash_all.bat script attempts to wipe userdata on bootloader fastboot.

Flashing to A slot was completed without any errors. I don't think this super image includes the persist partition. My phone started bootlooping after I erased the persist partition. Can anyone upload their persist partition for the global or EEA version?

There were problems with wiping userdata. It only works on userspace fastboot (fastbootd). The flash_all.bat script attempts to wipe userdata on bootloader fastboot.

Flashing to A slot was completed without any errors. I don't think this super image includes the persist partition. My phone started bootlooping after I erased the persist partition. Can anyone upload their persist partition for the global or EEA version?

The Persist partition contains the unique calibration settings for the sensors on your phone. It cannot be recovered. If it's really corrupted, the only way is to send the phone back for warranty for now.
On Xiaomi forum, they solved the issue by flashing the persist partition from a stock fastboot rom, can't tell if it'll work with yours but you Can Always give it a try if you can find a persist partition backup
For the B slot, I think I had errors too, but switching slots fixed mine.

Welcome to this unbrick tutorial
This tutorial is EEA only at the moment
NB: I state immediately that i'm not responsible for any damage that occurs on your phone. This process worked for my Nothing Phone on 1.1.3, but maybe not on yours.
I do not suggest following this tutorial if you are on 1.1.4 but since your phone is already out of usage, you can try on your own.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader. Note that all your data will be lost.
You are missing some of the phone partitions? This might solve your issue.
Let's begin!
MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Latest platform tools correctly installed Link
Unlocked bootloader both classic and critical unlock Link
Sh4ttered Tool (the 1.1.3 update!! for now as I don't have a super partition backup for both 1.1.4 or 1.1.3 Global) Link
1.1.3 super partition (EEA Only at the moment, feel free to share a Global one in the comments) Link
PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
USB type C cable
Drivers of Nothing Phone installed
STEP 1 : Prepare everything
Extract the super partition from the zip to the platform tools folder and rename it super.img. Boot your device into Fastboot mode through power + Vol -
Once into fastboot mode, launch a CMD window into your platform tool folder by typing cmd in the search bar of your platform tool folder.
Then, connect your phone to the computer and type the command :
If a line appears, your phone is correctly connected.
Type the command :
If it flashed correctly, you should see something like this :
Once that step is done, your phone has now working super partitions.
STEP 2 : Flash stock firmware
After flashing super.img, you have to flash all the left partitions. For that, Run the Download.ps1 with powershell and download the 1.1.3 EEA made by Sh4ttered and downloaded earlier.
Once the Firmware is downloaded, you should see a new fw.zip
Run the flash_all.bat script, it should flash all the partitions without issues.
If something went wrong, tell me in the comment section.
Then, your device should reboot.
STEP 3 : Check your slots
If your device is still not booting, simply change the slot you're on with the following commands :
You should reboot into fastbootd.
Then use :
Look for the line where it says current-slot and it will tell you if it's A slot or B slot
Once you know on wich slot you are, try booting on the other one by running this last command :
If you're on a slot, or :
If you're on b slot.
Reboot your phone after that, and you should boot normally.
If not, let me know your issues in the comments by posting your logs and explaining me where you had an error.
Sorry for my bad english sometimes
Huge thanks to XDA Community, ssut for payload-dumper-go, Sh4ttered and his team for his tool.

I didn't told it was a tool. It is an unbrick method because in case you didn't encountered the issue before and you don't know what you are talking about, when you do something wrong with the Nothing Phone and you break your super partition, you Can try to flash whatever you want, it will Never boot unless you flash this. For someone who don't understand as good as you how to recover his phone, this Can be helpful.
For the downgrade, I can't tell, try it at your own risks.
