How to Restore Backup and Transfer Data on NOTHING CMF Phone 2 Pro

Initial Setup and Wi-Fi Connection

• ⚙️ The setup process begins by connecting the CMF by Nothing Phone Pro 2 to a Wi-Fi network, as a SIM card is not currently used.
• 📶 Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password to proceed.

Transferring Data: Cable vs. Wireless

• 📲 The primary option is to 'Copy apps and data.' You can use a cable if available, connecting both devices directly.
• 🚫 If no suitable cable is present, choose 'Copy without cable' to proceed with a wireless transfer.

Wireless Data Transfer via Google App

• 📱 On a second device (or the same device if resetting), open the Google app and search for 'Set up my device' or use the voice command 'Ok Google, set up my device.'
• ✅ Verify that the codes displayed on both devices match to confirm pairing.
• 🔄 If the initial pairing fails, try again. Once connected, click 'Copy now' and verify your lock screen pattern or PIN.
• ⏳ The phone will prepare for data copying, which may take a few minutes.

Selecting Data to Copy

• 🗂️ After preparation, choose which data to copy: apps, photos and videos, music, device settings, and call history.
• 🔧 You can manually select or deselect specific apps to transfer, which can significantly reduce the estimated copying time.
• 📤 Click 'Copy' to initiate the transfer of selected data.

Completing Setup and Google Services

• 🔒 You can skip setting a PIN during setup and add it later in settings.
• 📍 Enable or disable options for location services, scanning, and diagnostic data usage as per your preference.
• ☁️ Ensure 'Back up your device to Google' is enabled for photos, videos, and other data.
• 🌐 Select your default browser and search engine.
• 🤖 Continue through prompts for features like Gemini (AI assistant) and Google Pay, choosing to enable or skip them.
• ✅ Once copying is done, the phone will prepare and finalize the setup, installing apps in the background. Ensure you remain connected to Wi-Fi.

Restoring from Google Backup

• 🔄 For the second method, during the 'Copy apps and data' step, select 'Can't use other device' and proceed.
• 🔑 Enter the Google account credentials used for the previous backup.
• ⏳ Wait for the system to retrieve backup information.
• 💾 Select the desired backup from the list (e.g., one made recently).
• 🔒 Confirm your identity using your lock screen PIN or pattern.
• 🗂️ Choose which data to restore, noting that Google folders, Gmail, calendar, and Drive sync automatically. You can select specific apps, contacts, device settings, and call history.
• 🚀 Click 'Restore' to begin the background restoration process.
• ⚙️ Continue through the remaining setup steps, including selecting default apps and enabling AI features, similar to the first method.
• ⚠️ Be aware that screen issues or unexpected behavior might occur during this process; patience is key.
