How To Guide How to unbrick Nothing Phone 1 fastboot bootloop - Nothing Phone 1

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

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 :

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.

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.

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.

Usually you would boot into the new bootloader after having flashed a new one in place, and then continue (your steps #1 and #2 are reversed).
But, I'm not sure that is the cause of the problem here, and I wouldn't keep flashing the bootloader over and over when no errors are given, as a bootloader flash is the single most dangerous thing you can do. Just make sure you restart the tab.
Whenever you see a communications failure you should try a different cable or a different USB port on your PC. Communication failures are most likely with the system image simply because it is the largest - there are more opportunity for errors. FWIW, poor quality or damaged cables are the most likely cause of USB data transfer problems.
It could be some other problem with the tab, but those are two easy things to try.
good luck
Try using the flash-all.bat in the factory image.
Actually the only difference is in the wait of 10 seconds between reboot and -w update.
Give it i try.:fingers-crossed:

[Request]Stock 4.1.2 Firware for Aus xt905

Recently I attempted to flash a custom rom after root and unlocking my bootloader on my Australia xt905. Unfortunately I made the rookie mistake no backup stock rom to fallback on. After a frustrating soft brick I finally got it on but now its running on xt907 firmware. Best I could do. In an effort to get some functionality back I have tried custom roms which have worked and am currently runnning the xt907 carbon rom on 4.2.2 But still cannot get the cellular to work. I have looked for a stock 4.1.2 but am unable to find it anywhere. Is there anyone that has a copy?

Couldn't get rdslite 6.1.5 to show device either but did manage to get the fastboot.bat to work. Unfortunately this failed as well was getting variable not supported errors above each stage and then would get fastboot.exe has stopped working errors mid flash but the command would continue after closing program. Have been reading that win 8 may be the cause of this will try on a win xp computer and if i can get my hands on a win7 if that doesn't work

just tried xp was a no go but am going away again tomorrow till the 5/1. Will try again then got it back to the stock xt907 firmware. I guess that will have to do for now. Is there any xt905 compatible roms by any chance. I have managed to get both the carbon xt907 and unofficial xt905 of akop but neither were getting reception or less than one bar on the odd occasion. Would a gsm fix this? As i have been unable to get my hands on one every link seems to be broken

no i haven't i am going to try the ose 4.3 with a 4.3 gsm fix and if that fails i will try that one it will respond with results maybe if i have time
EDIT: OSE didn't work gonna try the link u posted
Edit: Finally got the rom u posted above to work but no improvement the service didnt improve however i noticed i was unable to select any other band types from the mobile networks menu
I'm a bit off topic after all this but what i'm effectively looking for is a backup that can be flashed via CWM or installed via zip. I cannot for the life of me get fastboot or rdslite to work. The files from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ighlight=xt905 are all fastboot files and can't be installed by CWM from zip. Or alternatively a working xt905 rom because at the moment all unofficial or official versions with gsm fixes are unable to find any cellular in Australia. I'm currently with Telstra through ALDImobile at the moment if it helps, not looking for lte just h+ or 3g if possible. At the moment i'm stuck with a glorified mp3 player.
I thought i might post the log from the fastboot attempts when im using the fastboot that comes with the retail stock firmware. I noticed some that looked out of place and have searched them but found nothing that helped main culprits being

FIXED i finally got it to flash using fastboot. The errors were occuring because there wasn't a fastboot.exe in the files with the firmware. I read on another post that they needed to copy a fastboot across. After trying this it fixed.

make sure the file is executable try this open terminal at the directory the flash-all.sh is located and type
Code:
chmod +x flash-all.sh
this should make it executable than try to run the command

i think you are saying to paste it here so you can see... so here it is: /Users/myname/Desktop/new/./flash-all.sh
'myname' is my gf's name whose mac i am using. 'new' is the folder i made on the desktop with the kot49h files in it
yes i am unlocked
when i ran the script you gave me to install fastboot. the last thing it says is 'type adb or fastboot to run' it is at this point that i typed the above command. should i instead first type adb or fastboot?
after uninstalling and reinstalling fastboot with the link you provided me, then deleting and redownloading kot49h, unpacking it, unpacking the subsequent zip file that was produced and putting all the files in the same folder called 'new' on my desktop, then running the command i showed you, this is what i am getting:

Seriously, thank you thank you thank you. Even though the 4.4.2 kot49h is listed under 'mantaray' and it is the file i was told by another administrator to use and he assured me there would be no problem going from 4.3 jwr66v directly to kot49h since it is a factory image, alas the problem was that i needed to use 4.4 krt16s. Doing this, and following everything else you told me, it worked like a charm. As soon as i booted up, i got the ota for 4.4.2 and installed that smoothly. Thank you sooo much @lj50036!
Now i guess i am going to root again just so i can have usb functionality with stickmount. Do you have any suggestions for a really good set of instructions for this? also, do i need to save this folder i created on my mac desktop??

Now when i restart the phone it just stays on the screen with the essential logo and powered by android at the bottom; never gets to spinning circles. When I restart i can pause it from booting because the bootloader is unlocked, but adb cant find it because to do that i have to give it debug permissions, but no OS to boot to so i cant do that. Did i brick my phone?
If you can still get into the bootloader, its fixable. Just reflash stock

When I reboot, it says press power to pause (the screen where it says g.co/ABH), but then eventually proceeds to boot by itself after a few seconds.

It boots back into the screen with the logo and phrase powered by android and sits there. After it dissipated its power all night doing that, I was able to get the bootloader screen to appear (The word start in big green letters) this morning, but i selected start and now that screen refuses to show up again, so ill try draining it again i guess?
I drained it of power and as soon as i plugged it into a charger it turned on by itself and went into the bootloader unlike it was doing before. Was able to issue the command I missed earlier and now it loads right up.

Onn 100005362 root and CFW help!

Hi all I’m kinda a newb to this scene but I’d like you get some info and possibly some help rooting it and building my own custom firmware.
I’d like to know exactly how to back the entire system up so I can try to possibly deplor it on an emulator etc. I’m interested in learning everything there is to know about android as well as how the systems are setup and how they run. I’ve done some modding in the past PSP Nook kindle fire etc but I’ve never gotten fully involved with the android os as I’d like to. Other then building and running automation scripts for software testing i lack the full knowledge on the os. I’m looking to learn as I said and possibly help build a root method and cfw for the onn 100003562. Thanks for any information and help in advanced.
Anyone out there?
Looking for some direction here. If anyone can point me in the right direction for this subject that would be great
Ok fellas lol I know I’m a newb but I would like some keen insight.
Is there any info out there for these Walmart tablets the 100005362? I was able to pull the bin directory with adb pull. Some how I bricked the first one I was attempting to modify so I went out and bought a new one as well as a 8 inch for my daughter. They are only 28 bucks Walmart special right now they call them gen 2 so I’m not sure if that is helpful at all. Anyway. I was thinking since what I was able to extract has some SeLinux folders with some type of commands, is there any way to modify them and inject them back in and some how initiate theme to run an a su installer? Or some kind of modification or even trick the damn thing to dump the images needed to root with magisk. I can’t seem to dump the .img files to make a stock backup nor can I seem to find where the ota update is downloaded and stored for install. I’ve been working on this and reading all of NSA software information about SeLinux and how it can controls pretty much most of the system above the uid. Now is it a possibility that one could modify the SeLinux files from bin and execute them in a way to grant the uid user superpermissions over everything including the SELinux. The more I’ve read the more suspicious I get on the whole NSA subject of SeLinux anyway and wonder why that type of govnmt made software is in public civilian hands but that’s a whole other subject. Anyway can somebody please advise me as to what can be done so I can back this up and modify for su. I don’t care what I have to do I want this thing as my test subject to build my own android rom. I’d like to build something a bit more secure and in a state that is anonymous to the web 100%. Like run the system under a Tor setup etc. I’m kinda one of those people who thinks everyone is watching and listening so I just prefer to build this myself or with like minded individuals. Again please any advise or any knowledge partaining to these devices and android 10 that can help me would be greatly appreciated thanks again.

Pulling a back up is actually a well known process that seems to be the same for most mediatek devices. Here is the youtube tutorial I use to run backups but there are dozens to choose from:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj4iFakq33M
I have a section of my google drive I keep open with backups if you need to try a restore. I made a backup of the latest update from October but I forgot to upload it. At 100kbps it will be awhile before I can post it even if I had the chance to start the upload now. You should be able to do a full restore from any of these backups as long as you don't try to piecemeal it.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DGfI6u-OGaDJr_OkPOMmOKVxYCzrpp5k?usp=sharing
As far as root goes, magisk doesn't seem to have support for these particular tablets yet on my last attempt. Also be aware that these tablets have partitioning based on an android 10 system which means creating roms, kernels, TWRP, rooting and the like is totally different from android 9 and below. If you do follow through with trying to rom this tablet make sure any tutorials you look into pertain to devices that shipped with android 10 or above. I'll try to check back when I get a chance so let me know if you need help at least with the backups. Not sure I can offer help with much else at this point. I've been messing with android as a hobby since the og droid first came out but I haven't done much with devices based off this new system. Good luck.

thanks but i need the MT8768WA chipset.
Ok I'm finally able to report I have successfully Unbricked the Walmart ONN 100003562.
Using various bits of information scattered throughout the Walmart ONN general threads section so If anyone else runs into this issue i have the fix.
Step 1
Download both the FULL FACTORY firmware and the Update firmware from this awesome guys google drive. here's the link https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...5k?usp=sharing.
Starting with the Full stock flash all available .img .bin into the proper locations via fastboot.
when flashing the vbmetas use "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" you should get a result like this if done properly.
"Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
Sending 'vbmeta' (8192 KB) OKAY [ 0.190s]
Writing 'vbmeta' OKAY [ 0.127s]

also take note that there are a few .bin and .img locations that aren't the same location as the name. I used the scatter file in wwrmtk 2.51 to get the proper locations however I will copy and paste all my commands and results here.
after you rewrite all .img .bin you have to start over with the update .img and .bin.
here are the commands and results I used to successfully unbrick the device.

NOTE rebooting takes quite awhile its not stuck on the boot logo walk away for a bit if need be. mine took about 5 minutes on the boot logo before it fully loaded.
I have successfully Rooted the Walmart ONN 100003562 preloaded with android 10 SAR.
I had to Flash both a Magisked patched recovery.img and a magisk patched boot.img as well as re flash the vbmeta using the disable varity and verify commands.
Step one:
Download files here.
Step 2
Install magisk_manager8.0.apk and update
adb install command
adb install magisk_manager_8.0.apk
Either patch the files yourself using magisk manager or use the ones provided here. I have provided both patched and unpatched .img as well as vbmeta.img
step 3
Flash .img's
boot flash command.
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img
recovery flash command.
fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched_recover.img
vbmeta flash command.
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
NOTE .img names may differ adjust accordingly.
reboot command.
fastboot reboot
YOU ARE NOW ROOTED WITH MAGISK!!!!!!!
HAVE AN AWESOME DAY AND DONT FORGET TO DONATE link to paypal in bio.
Here's a screenshot of magisk with successful root.

I was able to successfully Unbrick from a full on hard brick and also was successful in obtaining root access. Now a new update downloaded on the device so I am going to attempt updating an re rooting if needed. read through. Thanks again so much for having and sharing the backed up. will be rooting the 28 dollar 8 inch next.
Can I get a mod to rename this thread to "How to successful unbrick and root Walmart ONN 10.1 100003562"

Sorry about that. I should have mentioned most 876x... processors seem to be basically a rebrand of the 6765 with minor updates mostly coming in the clock speed area. Using the 6765 listing in sp tool & wwr tends to work fine for devices using the "updated" processors. That said there is a scatter in all my backups that can be loaded in sp tool to do all the heavy lifting instead of using fastboot. Using sp tool will be a lot easier than fastboot for the majority of people that will hit these forums from google. There is a main backup thread all about that which covers sp tool for all onn tablets. At least nothing changed on that front with the latest gen walmart devices.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wa...eral/stock-stock-backups-images-otas-t3998227
Now all that said, I don't think anyone has done a full write-up for unbricking with fastboot for the new partitioning. I'm hoping this gets stickied for people that can't get sp tool to detect their devices. I believe your process should be the same on the 8” pro tablets released just before the 10.1. It should be usefull for quite a few people that get either device this holiday season.
I did start the upload for the 10-22 update but apparently my gdrive laptop crashed and I just had to restart the upload. Wish drive resumed uploads like it does downloads. Hoping I'll get it posted some time this week but no telling. I'm too lazy to look through and just upload the changes.
I'll try your root method once I get to my desktop and post back to verify for other people.
Oh before I forget, at that price the 8" you mention sounds like one of the earlier walmart tablets that runs 9. I believe magisk detects those so you shouldn't have to manually disable verity and just the boot.img is enough to root. Not sure how new you are to the walmart tablet line so thought I'd mention it just in case.
Verified
Just ran through and disabling verity was the one thing I didn't try before but it worked. I've done the same procedure on other devices but it didn't even occur to me. My attention span is worse than a 2 year old at this point so I can't say I tried all that hard before. Anyway thanks for the write up and good job. Jrummy's root browser pro gives write access to ./ Directories so this seems to be a proper root method.
Did you have any issues with the ota update after you rooted? I've heard talk of errors on devices running 10. Either the update won't work or it bricks the device. Just wondering if thats something people need to be on the lookout for.
Btw you wrote recover.img instead of recovery.img in your write up. I wouldn't have noticed but I copy/paste a lot. Did I mention I'm lazy?

Sorry about that. I should have mentioned most 876x... processors seem to be basically a rebrand of the 6765 with minor updates mostly coming in the clock speed area. Using the 6765 listing in sp tool & wwr tends to work fine for devices using the "updated" processors. That said there is a scatter in all my backups that can be loaded in sp tool to do all the heavy lifting instead of using fastboot. Using sp tool will be a lot easier than fastboot for the majority of people that will hit these forums from google. There is a main backup thread all about that which covers sp tool for all onn tablets. At least nothing changed on that front with the latest gen walmart devices.

Now all that said, I don't think anyone has done a full write-up for unbricking with fastboot for the new partitioning.

Okay. By that processor and OS it sounds like the 7" surf pro that went on sale a few days ago. I think there's a thread about rooting those somewhere on xda. I haven't had the chance to check that model out yet so I don't know much beyond what I've read. I have heard they can be a bit sluggish though. I think they actually run android 10 go which doesn't seem to get much love from google. I have seen some talk about roming them since the hardware should be more capable than it lets on. If it were the 8" pro with the mt8768 similar to the 10.1 I'd be interested in getting one at that price. I'm looking into one of those for my mom this Christmas but they continually run $99. I don't think she'd tolerate anything with less than 2gb of ram for long considering she just bought an 8" previous gen and already wants to trash it. Some of her games are memory hogs.

Yes it will there is a thread on here regarding the a model it’s labeled 7 inch gen 2. I happenned to run see it the other day when I was researching. I used there scatter file to pull my software being that I can’t seem to get the wwr software working on my windows 10. Every time I try to create a scatter it results with only the bootloader found.

if u mean preloader(probably me being confused), then ya im having the same issue, im trying some of these files now to see if i can get mine back to working, i had tryed some files for the -E version a few days ago, the boot.img being the major one, to find it bootlooping my -A model, so fingers crossed.

Use the vbmeta and use this command u should be able to get out of bootloop on the other device.
@KaosKreationz Wow 28$ for this tablet model : 100003562? Thats a steal. My local WM has it for 129 + taxes. Even refurb units on Ebay are like 75$.
Also thanks for your efforts on this thread.
Before buying, I came here looking to see if anyone has a custom ROM for this tablet.
