Thank you for contacting Nothing Customer Support.

We’re sorry to know that you’re not receiving the Nothing OS V3.0-250218-1552 OTA update for your Nothing Phone (1), please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by this matter. Let us help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Here are some steps you can follow to resolve the issue or manually install the update:
1. Check OTA Update Availability*

• Ensure your phone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and has at least 50% battery.

• Go to Settings > System > System Updates and check for updates manually.

2. Understand Staged Rollouts

• Nothing uses a staged rollout model, meaning updates are released to users in phases to ensure stability. This could explain the delay in receiving the update.

3. Manually Install the Update (Sideloading)
If you want to bypass the wait, you can sideload the update manually:

Steps to Sideload the Update

1. Download the Correct OTA ZIP File:

   • Visit a trusted source like the Nothing OS Update Tracker on XDA Developers and download the full OTA package for your device variant.

2. Prepare Your Device:

   • Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Developer Options.

   • Install ADB tools on your computer.

3. Enter Recovery Mode:

   • Connect your phone to your computer via USB.

   • Use ADB to reboot into recovery mode by running:
     bash
     adb reboot recovery

   • In recovery mode, select “Apply Update from ADB.”

4. Install the Update:

   • On your computer, run:
     bash
     adb sideload <filename>.zip

   • Wait for the process to complete, then reboot your phone.

4. Use Local System Update Wizard
Alternatively, use Nothing’s built-in offline updater:

• Place the downloaded OTA file in a folder named ota in your internal storage.

• Dial *#*#682#*#* to access the offline update tool and select the OTA file for installation.

If the issue persists or you require additional assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us again.*
