In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of CTS Profile & SafetyNet failing on your Nothing Phone 1 running OS 1.5 Beta. Nothing has recently started beta testing its latest OS based on the thirteenth iteration of the OS. While the beta testers are getting this update via OTA, the general users could also manually install the said update. But since it is a beta build, bugs and issues are along the expected lines.
While that is completely understandable, what isn’t is why CTS Profile & SafetyNet are failing on the Nothing Phone 1 running Nothing OS 1.5 Beta. For the unaware, these tests fail on the devices whose bootloader is unlocked and more importantly are rooted. But for a device whose bootloader is locked and is running the stock ROM with no system-level modifications, the ailing of these checks is raising a red flag in the mind of many users.
Why is CTS Profile & SafetyNet Failing on Nothing OS 1.5 Beta?
So is this a matter of concern? Well, not exactly. This is because these tests are usually bound to fail if you are running the beta build of the OS, even if we are talking about the stock OS. And this isn’t just limited to Nothing. The same has been noticed in the past even with OnePlus OxygenOS beta builds.
Moreover, if you had gone through the changelog of Nothing OS 1.5 Beta, then it has already listed that you might not be able to use Netflix and Google Pay [although, it would have been much better if they had listed this reason as well]. So this begs the all-important question- how to pass the CTS Profile & SafetyNet tests on Nothing Phone 1 running OS 1.5 Beta?
How to Pass CTS Profile & SafetyNet on Nothing OS 1.5 Beta
Well, in such cases, there are two approaches that you could take- either get yourself removed from the beta testing group and go back to the Android 12 stable build OR root your device and then pass both CTS and SafetyNet via a module. At the time of writing, the downgrade packages aren’t yet available, but you do have the option to Root Nothing Phone 1 via Magisk Patched Boot and then Pass SafetyNet in Rooted Nothing Phone 1.
If you are aware of aspects of rooting, then you should definitely check out the above-linked guide. However, if you haven’t yet set your feet in this domain, then dealing with Magisk might prove to be a little bit technical. In that case, your best bet will be to wait till Nothing releases the Android 12 downgrade package or Android 13 stable build.
So on that note, we round off this guide on how you could fix the issue of CTS Profile & SafetyNet failing on your Nothing Phone 1 running OS 1.5 Beta. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
