Unlock Bootloader & Root Your Nothing Phone (1)

Just a helpful guide for unlocking the bootloader and rooting your Nothing Phone (1) using magisk.
Requirements & Important Notes -
1. A PC or a Laptop
2. Platform tools & Android USB drivers installed
3. Full backup of your storage
4. Unlocking your bootloader compromises of your phone's security and also the data stored in it.
Installation Guide - (cmd commands have been underlined)
1. On your Nothing Phone (1), go to Settings - About phone - Software info - Tap on build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options.
2. Now go back to Settings menu - go to System - Developer Options - Turn on OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
3. Connect your Phone (1) to PC.
4. Go to the extracted platform tools folder and copy the path. Open the same path in cmd where platform tools are present.
5. Type a command - adb devices. It will open a popup on your phone. Give Android Debugging permissions.
6. Now type adb reboot bootloader to boot into fastboot or bootloader mode.
7. After booting into the fastboot mode, type fastboot devices to check if device is succesfully connected or not. It will show a random serial code and will say fastboot.
8. Now type, fastboot flashing unlock. This will open a new screen on your phone. Choose yes to go ahead which will format all your data and unlock your bootloader.
9. Now your device will boot and you'll have to setup it again.
10. Congratulations your bootloader has been unlocked. You can check it again via Developer options, it will show Bootloader is already unlocked under OEM unlocking option.
11. Now moving towards rooting your device, you'll need to patch the boot.img which matches your NothingOS current version. (Check links below and only patch accordingly)
12. My Phone (1) was running 1.1.4 so I patched the boot.img extracted from NothingOS 1.1.4 and flashed it using fastboot.
13. Install and open Magisk app on your Phone (1). Choose install - Choose patch boot image option and choose the correct boot.img matching your firmware version. (I already have 1.1.4 magisk patched boot.img so you can use it if you guys are on the same version.)
14. Copy the patched boot.img from your phone to your PC where the platform tools are install.
15. Boot your Phone (1) into fastboot mode to flash the patched boot.img.
16. Open cmd, type fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-boot.img. (The word boot here might be replaced with some random keywords and numbers so please copy that filename. You can also rename it for some ease.)
17. Now reboot your device using the command - fastboot reboot.
18. Congratulations your Phone (1) is not succesfully rooted using Magisk. You can confirm the root access status via Root checker app.

[@QuazwersxceX]

See if device is connected properly through device manager on PC.

[@elearningwithsarangsir3279]

Thanks for your efforts but you can cut video part where you made mistake instead of saying sorry

[@QuazwersxceX]

I want to keep that part so that you guys can point it out and I'll try hard everytime to be more precise from the next time onwards. :)

[@nickloss2377]

​@@QuazwersxceXyeah except some people might be following your video step-by-step instead of watching the whole video first and then doing the procedure.. so step by step means they're going to make the exact same mistake you made.. you got to edit your videos man.

[@myfavouritecolorisgreen]

is gpay working after rooting the phone?

[@eviltom5722]

no, virtually no banking/financal app works with root neither with having unlocked bootloader or custom rom

[@JostiTosti730]

thanks for the tutorial ig, but jesus it is terrible. the warning that my data will get lost was way too late and i didnt have my latest data backed up. and also, why are there multiple mistakes in the video? just cut them out

[@QuazwersxceX]

Sorry. Intended to keep things open and raw. Unlocking the bootloader wipes all the data. Sorry about that. Will always try to notify and warn about it at the earliest.

[@ytsamar9649]
