๐Ÿ› Support Threads : TG | XDA

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

โ€ข Supports both NOS & Custom Roms
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

2. Extract the package. Password is password.
3. Open the NothingFlashTool.exe and run it and then select your phone.
4. Power off your Nothing Phone 2 and then press and hold both the volume keys together to boot into EDL mode.

Note:
- Target NOS version post successful flashing is 2.5.1.
- DIY for EDL Cable
- If the tool stops working or you mess up, dont blame the management here. We dont have any responsibility for the same!
