Recently I attempted to flash a custom rom after root and unlocking my bootloader on my Australia xt905. Unfortunately I made the rookie mistake no backup stock rom to fallback on. After a frustrating soft brick I finally got it on but now its running on xt907 firmware. Best I could do. In an effort to get some functionality back I have tried custom roms which have worked and am currently runnning the xt907 carbon rom on 4.2.2 But still cannot get the cellular to work. I have looked for a stock 4.1.2 but am unable to find it anywhere. Is there anyone that has a copy?

Try ap fastboot mode from the bootloader screen.

Couldn't get rdslite 6.1.5 to show device either but did manage to get the fastboot.bat to work. Unfortunately this failed as well was getting variable not supported errors above each stage and then would get fastboot.exe has stopped working errors mid flash but the command would continue after closing program. Have been reading that win 8 may be the cause of this will try on a win xp computer and if i can get my hands on a win7 if that doesn't work

just tried xp was a no go but am going away again tomorrow till the 5/1. Will try again then got it back to the stock xt907 firmware. I guess that will have to do for now. Is there any xt905 compatible roms by any chance. I have managed to get both the carbon xt907 and unofficial xt905 of akop but neither were getting reception or less than one bar on the odd occasion. Would a gsm fix this? As i have been unable to get my hands on one every link seems to be broken

no i haven't i am going to try the ose 4.3 with a 4.3 gsm fix and if that fails i will try that one it will respond with results maybe if i have time
EDIT: OSE didn't work gonna try the link u posted
Edit: Finally got the rom u posted above to work but no improvement the service didnt improve however i noticed i was unable to select any other band types from the mobile networks menu
I'm a bit off topic after all this but what i'm effectively looking for is a backup that can be flashed via CWM or installed via zip. I cannot for the life of me get fastboot or rdslite to work. The files from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ighlight=xt905 are all fastboot files and can't be installed by CWM from zip. Or alternatively a working xt905 rom because at the moment all unofficial or official versions with gsm fixes are unable to find any cellular in Australia. I'm currently with Telstra through ALDImobile at the moment if it helps, not looking for lte just h+ or 3g if possible. At the moment i'm stuck with a glorified mp3 player.
I thought i might post the log from the fastboot attempts when im using the fastboot that comes with the retail stock firmware. I noticed some that looked out of place and have searched them but found nothing that helped main culprits being

FIXED i finally got it to flash using fastboot. The errors were occuring because there wasn't a fastboot.exe in the files with the firmware. I read on another post that they needed to copy a fastboot across. After trying this it fixed.

I'm trying to reflash factory image to my Nexus player. Everything I've tried ends in an error. I have flashed alot of things (Nvidia Shield, Nexus player, Adt-1, Fire tv, Phones) so I'm not a total newbie but this has me scratching my head. It has TWRP installed and lineage 15.1 nightly flashed to it. I'm selling it so want to go back to factory. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ok I can flash Lineage Os no problem. II can flash Pure Nexus no problem. When I try to flash a factory image it always errors. Here is what shows in Minimal adb.

I had the same issue. TWRP was still there, so I wiped System and Cache and formatted Data from TWRP (not sure if this is needed). I unzipped the archive that has the factory images on my laptop and rebooted into the bootloader and and ran:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
Worked perfectly. Note that this erases everything and the device will boot to the setup screen, just like new.
Please guys, help me, I still can boot into fastboot, but can't boot into twrp(even flashing it via fastboot recovery_ramdisk) or erecovery

Welcome to this unbrick tutorial
NB: I state immediately that i'm not responsible for any damage that occurs on your phone. This process worked for my Nothing Phone on 1.1.3, but maybe not on yours.
I do not suggest following this tutorial if you are on 1.1.4 but since your phone is already out of usage, you can try on your own.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader. Note that all your data will be lost.
You are missing some of the phone partitions? This might solve your issue.
Let's begin!
MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Latest platform tools correctly installed Link
- Unlocked bootloader both classic and critical unlock Link
- Sh4ttered Tool (download the version that matches the version you are trying to restore when you bricked your phone ) Link
- Super partition listed in post #2 and corresponding to your device version and region
- PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
- USB type C cable
- Drivers of Nothing Phone installed
STEP 1 : Prepare everything
Extract the super partition from the zip to the platform tools folder and rename it super.img. Boot your device into Fastboot mode through power + Vol -
Once into fastboot mode, launch a CMD window into your platform tool folder by typing cmd in the search bar of your platform tool folder.
Then, connect your phone to the computer and type the command :
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If a line appears, your phone is correctly connected.
Type the command :
fastboot flash super super.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If it flashed correctly, you should see something like this :
C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\platform-tools>fastboot flash super super.img

Click to collapse
Once that step is done, your phone has now working super partitions.
STEP 2 : Flash stock firmware
After flashing super.img, you have to flash all the left partitions. For that, with powershell, run the Download.ps1 made by Sh4ttered and downloaded earlier.
Download the correct region and version of the firmware.
Once the Firmware is downloaded, you should see a new fw.zip
Run the flash_all.bat script, it should flash all the partitions without issues.
If something went wrong, tell me in the comment section.
Then, your device should reboot.
STEP 3 : Check your slots
If your device is still not booting, simply change the slot you're on with the following commands :
fastboot reboot fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should reboot into fastbootd.
Then use :
fastboot getvar all
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Look for the line where it says current-slot and it will tell you if it's A slot or B slot
Once you know on wich slot you are, try booting on the other one by running this last command :
fastboot set_active b
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on a slot, or :
fastboot set_active a
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on b slot.
Reboot your phone after that, and you should boot normally.
If not, let me know your issues in the comments by posting your logs and explaining me where you had an error.
Sorry for my bad english sometimes
Huge thanks to XDA Community, ssut for payload-dumper-go, Sh4ttered and his team for his tool.
Update :
Here are listed all the Super Partitions available for us to fix our Nothing :
1.1.3 EEA : Link
1.1.4 Global : Link
More to come...
Remember that you have to download the Sh4ttered tool version according to the version you are trying to restore.
Again, feel free to share a backup of yours that is not listed here to help other in need

I've tried this on my Nothing Phone (1) EEA version which bootloops. It doesn't work. Whilst booting from the A slot, there's the 15 seconds of splash screen, then it reboots, same as before.
There were problems with wiping userdata. It only works on userspace fastboot (fastbootd). The flash_all.bat script attempts to wipe userdata on bootloader fastboot.

Flashing to A slot was completed without any errors. I don't think this super image includes the persist partition. My phone started bootlooping after I erased the persist partition. Can anyone upload their persist partition for the global or EEA version?

I've tried this on my Nothing Phone (1) EEA version which bootloops. It doesn't work. Whilst booting from the A slot, there's the 15 seconds of splash screen, then it reboots, same as before.
There were problems with wiping userdata. It only works on userspace fastboot (fastbootd). The flash_all.bat script attempts to wipe userdata on bootloader fastboot.

The Persist partition contains the unique calibration settings for the sensors on your phone. It cannot be recovered. If it's really corrupted, the only way is to send the phone back for warranty for now.
On Xiaomi forum, they solved the issue by flashing the persist partition from a stock fastboot rom, can't tell if it'll work with yours but you Can Always give it a try if you can find a persist partition backup
For the B slot, I think I had errors too, but switching slots fixed mine.

Welcome to this unbrick tutorial
This tutorial is EEA only at the moment
NB: I state immediately that i'm not responsible for any damage that occurs on your phone. This process worked for my Nothing Phone on 1.1.3, but maybe not on yours.
I do not suggest following this tutorial if you are on 1.1.4 but since your phone is already out of usage, you can try on your own.
In the next lines we will see how to restore our device to its original factory conditions, after unlocking the Bootloader. Note that all your data will be lost.
You are missing some of the phone partitions? This might solve your issue.
Let's begin!
MATERIAL REQUIRED :
Latest platform tools correctly installed Link
Unlocked bootloader both classic and critical unlock Link
Sh4ttered Tool (the 1.1.3 update!! for now as I don't have a super partition backup for both 1.1.4 or 1.1.3 Global) Link
1.1.3 super partition (EEA Only at the moment, feel free to share a Global one in the comments) Link
PC with Microsoft Windows 7-8-8.1-10-11
USB type C cable
Drivers of Nothing Phone installed
STEP 1 : Prepare everything
Extract the super partition from the zip to the platform tools folder and rename it super.img. Boot your device into Fastboot mode through power + Vol -
Once into fastboot mode, launch a CMD window into your platform tool folder by typing cmd in the search bar of your platform tool folder.
Then, connect your phone to the computer and type the command :
If a line appears, your phone is correctly connected.
Type the command :
If it flashed correctly, you should see something like this :
Once that step is done, your phone has now working super partitions.
STEP 2 : Flash stock firmware
After flashing super.img, you have to flash all the left partitions. For that, Run the Download.ps1 with powershell and download the 1.1.3 EEA made by Sh4ttered and downloaded earlier.
Once the Firmware is downloaded, you should see a new fw.zip
Run the flash_all.bat script, it should flash all the partitions without issues.
If something went wrong, tell me in the comment section.
Then, your device should reboot.
STEP 3 : Check your slots
If your device is still not booting, simply change the slot you're on with the following commands :
You should reboot into fastbootd.
Then use :
Look for the line where it says current-slot and it will tell you if it's A slot or B slot
Once you know on wich slot you are, try booting on the other one by running this last command :
If you're on a slot, or :
If you're on b slot.
Reboot your phone after that, and you should boot normally.
If not, let me know your issues in the comments by posting your logs and explaining me where you had an error.
Sorry for my bad english sometimes
Huge thanks to XDA Community, ssut for payload-dumper-go, Sh4ttered and his team for his tool.

I didn't told it was a tool. It is an unbrick method because in case you didn't encountered the issue before and you don't know what you are talking about, when you do something wrong with the Nothing Phone and you break your super partition, you Can try to flash whatever you want, it will Never boot unless you flash this. For someone who don't understand as good as you how to recover his phone, this Can be helpful.
For the downgrade, I can't tell, try it at your own risks.
