[Alpha] Android 12 for Teracube One

Teracube One
#10

Good news. Over the course of a few days the proximity sensor fixed itself. I don’t know what happened but it is no longer flickering. I have the original plastic screen protector which doesn’t cover the sensor.

The other good news is I observed some camera sensor turning sound on other devices as well, like the iPhone SE. So this isn’t unique to the Galaxy A53 and it is probably fine for the hardware to do that.

Other than Wi-Fi stability issues, I don’t think there is any other issue. Pretty solid overall.

Can we get better instructions for flashing.
Also:

1- Do I need to Flash Android 10 , then Android 12?
2- Can I flash everything except for userdata.img?

You don’t have to flash Android 10 first. Just use SP Flash and flash this build. And sorry - you can’t keep the old userdata.img. However, you can restore your old backup after the install.

Restoring my old data including my apps data?

Any way to take a backup of userdata.img off my phone, now that it’s rooted?

Back to the flashing, after I hit download and all the items turn green, I plug in my phone (while it’s off, and nothing happens). I already installed the signed in driver as well.

Any idea why is it failing!?

Is it giving you any error messages?

No error message.
It just sits there doing nothing.

Have you tried to force the phone on and off while connected to see if you can catch the SPFlash mode that way?

Yup, I did, and nothing worked.
This phone had PixelExperience, I tried from the recovery menu, no bueno.

You’ve verified that the port, cable, and device all function properly?

Can it boot into pixel experience still, or is it bricked?

Port, cable, and device all are functioning properly.
I already wiped all data.
I can load PE Recovery.
But I want to install Android 12 on it and see if that helps with the GPS and battery draining issues.

Have you checked with the pixelexperience devs what those errors mean?

Status 1 typically means failure (of some sort). Is the sideload image corrupt, maybe?

I have and I tried with different images.
But regardless, I should be able to flash.

This is starting to sound more and more like a hardware fault.

I must again recommend that you consider sending it for warranty replacement.

Android 12 alpha for Teracube 1, are spflash tool images. Not recovery flashable images, flash them using sp flash.

Thanks

The problem is that the phone isn’t being detected in SPFlash
