How to Convert EEA to Global on Nothing Phone 1

In this guide, we will show you the steps to convert your Nothing Phone 1 from EEA to Global. The OEM has quickly upscaled the popularity charts in no time whatsoever. Moreover, the device itself is available in numerous regions. Owing to this, you will come across two different firmware versions for Nothing Phone 1- EEA for European Countries [named SpacewarEEA] and Global for Asian and Australian regions [code named Spacewar].

In this regard, some users have voiced their concern that they mistakenly ended up cross-flashing the firmware [flashing firmware of a different region] and are now stuck with a few region-specific features not working along the expected lines. If you are also in the same boat, then this guide will show you the steps to rectify this issue, in other words, convert your Nothing Phone 1 from EEA to Global. So without further ado, let’s get started.

• How to Convert EEA to Global on Nothing Phone 1 STEP 1: Install Android SDK STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking STEP 3: Download Nothing Phone 1 Firmware STEP 4: Extract Nothing Phone 1 Payload.bin STEP 5: Unlock Bootloader on Nothing Phone 1 STEP 6: Boot Nothing Phone 1 to Fastboot Mode STEP 7: Format Device via Fastboot STEP 8: Flash Global Firmware on Nothing Phone 1 via Fastboot Commands

How to Convert EEA to Global on Nothing Phone 1

This process will wipe off all the data from your device, so take a complete device backup beforehand. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

STEP 1: Install Android SDK

First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide to unbrick your Nothing Phone 1 via Fastboot commands.

STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

Next up, you will also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.

So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.

STEP 3: Download Nothing Phone 1 Firmware

Next up, download the stock firmware for your device from the below link. Nothing provides its firmware in payload.bin, which you need to extract in order to get hold of the partition files. I have already done that for a few firmware versions. So if your device has the same firmware/build installed, then you could directly download the Fastboot ROM [extracted payload] instead of the payload.bin

STEP 4: Extract Nothing Phone 1 Payload.bin

If you have downloaded the Fastboot ROM, then you could skip this step. On the other hand, if you have a payload.bin firmware, then you will have to extract it first and get the resultant IMG files. To do so, you may refer to our guide on How to Extract Payload.bin file. Once done, make sure to transfer all the extracted files to the platform-tools folder.

STEP 5: Unlock Bootloader on Nothing Phone 1

Since you are going through this unbrick guide, chances are you might have already unlocked the device’s bootloader. However, if you haven’t done so, then you may refer to our guide on Unlock Bootloader on Nothing Phone 1 [and its Critical Partition] . [Do note that for the unlocking process, you should have enabled OEM Unlock from the Settings menu beforehand].

STEP 6: Boot Nothing Phone 1 to Fastboot Mode

1. Now connect your device to the PC via a USB cable. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.
2. Then head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in the address bar, and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
3. Type in the following command in the CMD window to boot your device to Fastboot Mode adb reboot bootloader
4. To verify the Fastboot connection, type in the below command and you should get back the device ID. fastboot devices

STEP 7: Format Device via Fastboot

1. Head over to the platform-tools folder where the extracted ROM is present.
2. Then go to its address bar, type in CMD in its address, and hit Enter. This will launch the CMD window.
3. Now execute the below command to perform a factory reset (optional but recommended) fastboot -w

STEP 8: Flash Global Firmware on Nothing Phone 1 via Fastboot Commands

Execute the below commands in the CMD window [that is opened in the platform-tools folder] to flash all the partition file. Make sure to execute one command at a time. Furthermore, if you get an error, then don’t leave the process mid-way, rather move over to the next flashing command.
