Nothing OS 2.5.1 for Phone (2) based on Android 14 is Rolling Out ๐Ÿš€

"It is to be noted that the update is rolling out in stages. This approach allows the team to monitor for any issues and ensure a smooth and stable deployment. Users on open beta 2 are much likely to get it first followed by those on 2.0.4. Don't worry if you haven't received it yet; it's on its way to you gradually.
"

Update: (25/12/23)
2.0.4 users are finally getting the 2.5.1 stable update via OTA

1. Flash the OTA.zip.
2. Immediately flash the OrangeFox.zip.
3. Reboot to recovery.
4. Flash the OTA.zip again.
5. Follow up with flashing the OrangeFox.zip.
