Caution
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE NOTHING PHONE 2A PLUS. FLASHING A PRELOADER FROM ANOTHER DEVICE WILL HARD-BRICK YOUR PHONE. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
Caution
Nothing has patched this 'vulnerability'. READ, READ, READ READ CAREFULLY before attempting to use it on NothingOS 4, as it now requires additional steps and manual flashing.
This release adds support for the latest NothingOS 4 stable OTA/update: Nothing/PacmanPro/PacmanPro:16/BP2A.250605.031.A3/2602252039:user/release-keys
For this to work, your bootloader MUST be unlocked, and you MUST flash the attached Preloader partition in addition to fenrir.
Nothing patched this in NOS 4 stable but failed to include the fix in NOS 4 beta, so this requires using the beta Preloader together with the stable LK. I have not observed any issues or drawbacks, the device should work normally.
Warning
I am not responsible for any damaged or bricked devices. You perform these actions at your own risk.
Installation
- Ensure your bootloader is unlocked and the device is updated to NothingOS 4 (stable).
- Reboot into bootloader mode (NOT fastbootd) using
adb reboot bootloader, or hold Power + Volume Up to open the boot menu. - In bootloader mode, flash the Preloader to both slots:
fastboot flash preloader_a preloader_raw.img
fastboot flash preloader_b preloader_raw.img
- Flash fenrir to the LK partition on both slots:
fastboot flash lk_a pacman-fenrir.bin
fastboot flash lk_b pacman-fenrir.bin
- Reboot the device with
fastboot reboot. A factory reset may be required.
Warning
If your device does not boot to the OS despite having done a factory reset, YOU MIGHT NEED TO REFLASH THE STOCK VBMETA with fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
