[Alpha] Android 13.0.4 for Teracube One Ruby (SN:2019)

Teracube One

Note 1: Upgrading to Android 13 requires a factory reset because of a change in encryption methods by Google. Teracube One previously used Full Disk Encryption (FDE), but Android 13 uses File-Based Encryption (FBE). This switch necessitates a clean install and data wipe. Back up all your important data before proceeding.

Note 2: Future updates can be installed via OTA upgrade without wiping data (after installing this alpha).

Note 3: We’re considering future upgrades (certified), and Android 14 is a possibility based on user demand.

We are thrilled to share our 1st Alpha (13.0.4+d6335f8) Android 13 for Teracube One.

Steps to Upgrade:

SP Flash Build (link) (Note: SPFlash software and flashing instructions are here)

Current known issues:

  • Uncertified build (more info Android 12/13.)
  • Wifi calling does not work (VoLTE works)

Great (that some version of an Android 13 build is finally available for the Teracube One)! With that said, where can one find a production build, or even a “beta” build, of Android 13 for the Teracube One, more than a year after the “alpha” build was released?

Where is the comprehensive, well-written, tested and proof-read documentation on upgrading the OS on a Teracube One running Android 10? If the Teracube One firmware must be reinstalled or upgraded to support Android 13, where is the tested, English-language version of the firmware tool (with comprehensive documentation and all of the required files)?

There still is not, as of yet, a public release of anything newer for the TeraCube_One (ruby) device.

The above ROM and flash instructions are what is current.
