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

โœจ Features:
โ€ข Based on latest CLO kernel platform tag and android12-5.10-lts changes by ack

โ€ข Probably the only kernel sm8450 which has a bootable dtb/dtbo without using kernel platform from clo
โ€ข Misc improvements :)

๐Ÿ—’ Notes:

Cmds to flash via fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery_a <recovery.img>
fastboot flash recovery_b <recovery.img>



Flashing to both slots is optional! Users can update by flashing the new build over the previous one by flashing the zip in magisk or manually extracting the recovery.img and flashing it via fastboot or supported flashing apps.


If you flash the OTA.zip (Nothing OS update packages), it's recommended to follow these steps for a smooth update process:
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.


โœจChangelogs:
- Synced with latest sources
- fixes various bugs and problems
- Fixed flags
- Fixed flashing error via old orangefox via last build
- Improved compatibility with custom roms
