In this guide, we will show you the steps to go back to the Stock ROM from a custom ROM on your Nothing Phone 2. When it comes to custom development, then the devices from Nothing have proven themselves to be quite an active player in this domain. The perfect testimony to the same is the plethora of custom ROMs that these devices have been blessed with. However, the only thing that is permanent is change and there might be a time or two when you would want to revert to the stock ecosystem.
Whether the ROM is buggy and not performing along the expected lines, it has stopped receiving updates and support, or it’s just that you found the lost love for the NothingOS, your best bet in all these scenarios is to go back to the stock ROM from your custom ROM on your Nothing Phone 2. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
How to Go from Custom ROM to Stock on Nothing Phone 2
- First off, download the firmware for your Nothing Phone 2. It is recommended that you download the full firmware instead of the incremental one.
- Then extract the firmware. If it is in 7Z format, Windows built-in extraction will get the job done. But if it is in the payload.bin format, then you’ll have to use the Fastboot Enhance Tool to extract it.
- Now download the Pong_Fastboot_Flasher script. Then transfer the script to the firmware folder.
- It will ask for a format data, hit Y to answer Yes.
- It will ask if you wish to flash across both slots, reply Y because we want to make sure that both slots have the latest firmware.
- Then it will ask you to disable Android Verified Boot, type in Y.
- Next up, when the tool asks to flash the logical partition images such as system.img, reply Yes by typing Y.
- The flashing can take a few minutes. Once done, it is recommended to do a format data once again by using the below command:
fastboot -w
- Finally, you may now reboot to the OS via the below command:
fastboot reboot
