ahoy all and thanks for the upgrade and help.
i am upgrading from 10 (build Teracube_2e_16) ā¦ so is this the only way (i.e. factory reset) to upgrade from 10 to the current 13?
also if i am planning on rooting the phone should that be done before the upgrade, after, ?
thanks again

You should be able to use the updater, but take backups.

Root after, unless youāre doing it for taking backups before the upgrade, in which case it would be both before and after.
Running the upgrade will load a stock boot image, which will revert root. Itās easy enough to root again after, but the only reason to do is before is if you donāt trust Googleās own backups. Which is valid.

Itās vendor patch level. Safe to ignore and should be gone with new update.

Like with 10 and 11, Security update only happens on an updated ROM flash, though Google Play system update should be within a month or two of current, and if you pass Device Integrity and GPsu is fully up to date, your tap-to-pay should be working fine regardless of the Security update status.
That being said, looking forward to the updated ROM.

I donāt understand how itās acceptable to only have security updates by manually flashing your device and installing a new ROM.
Iāve lost trust in Teracube due to lack of security updates that are delivered timeously via OTA.
Want an insecure device thatās hard to update? Use Teracube.
Happy with Android 10? Phone works as expected and performs well? Well, kiss your hopes goodbye as you cannot have a secure A10 device due to lack of security patches.
The only way to stay secure is to update to buggy beta versions of Android 13 with performance issues. Even then, it seems that the security patches are out of date.
Not to mention that the updates require you to manually flash your device.
No thanks. I donāt trust using any financial application or wallet on my Teracube device.
I have requested the latest security updates to my Teracube device and that was ignored.
Imagine if I had to reinstall Windows or Linux every time there was an update to the operating system.

Blame Google. Thatās how they do it. On a positive note, I think Android 14 or 15 changed that and allowed the security updates to flow without a ROM flash, butā¦

To install it, go to Settings > System > Updater and tap Check for updates
Alternatively, you can apply the update manually using the information in the updated thread.

Just checking - is 13.0.4 internally tagged as 13.0.3 or are we looking for a new updated build version?

Hi there,
I have just installed the current over the air update to 13.0.4. It worked for me without any issues. After an initial test, the phone functions all appear to be working. In this respect - thanks to the team for the update!

Sounds like youāre fully up to date with no issues then. They tag it with a somewhat random month identifier which doesnāt fully correspond to, well, anything. Itās not uncommon to get the May play store updates in June or July. Thatās just what Google decides to call them.
If Settings->Security says itās fully updated, and the Google Play Store->Settings says itās fully updated, and you can tap to pay without getting security/update warnings, then youāre fully up to date, regardless of how Google decides to display their crazy version info.

Was able to properly update from 13.0.3 to 13.0.4 yesterday. It did show as an OTA update, but Iād previously downloaded the ROM so that I was able to extract the boot image and prepatch for root. Full process of updating was something like:
Download ROM
Extract boot image
Revert root application to standard package
Patch boot image
Transfer boot image to computer
Do standard backup procedures in case phone requires wipe
Select downloaded ROM from update menu (interesting that it shows as an official item while itās loading)
Wait 10-20 minutes while it processes and reboots
Unlock phone
Wait 5-10 minutes while it completes
Reboot to bootloader
Flash patched boot image
Reboot to system
Verify device integrity still successful
Interestingly, since going to 13.0.4, I havenāt had any of the sdcard load failures that were plaguing so many of my earlier 13 reboots and requiring manual reboots. At some point in the near future, Iāll verify whether I still need to trigger Airplane mode to avoid the kernel panic reboots on startup for having way too many apps installed.
