Could you follow the bottom link to fresh install firmware in main post?
Yes, I downloaded the 13.2.0 version and copied it to my phone for local update. But it didnāt work. The phone just rebooted back to 11.0.4 instead. Is there another way to do the update?
Something has went wrong with your 11.0.4. We will recommend to clean flash factory firmware using [Teracube 2e] Instructions to Install Factory Software and to Reset
I did the clean flash factory firmware reset. This got me back to Android 10. I was able to install 13.2.0, and it appeared to work initially. I did the initial setup and powered it off to recharge. But when I powered back on, it got stuck in on the initial Android screen for over 20 minutes. I tried to hold down the power button to force a power off, and then it went into a boot loop.
I did the clean flash factory firmware reset again, and installed 13.1.1. This appears to reboot normally, without getting stuck on the Android screen, or in a boot loop.
It takes 3-4 minutes on android screen. Google is behind that for loading modules. It might also be updating Play system updates.
Did you get through it?
Yes, I am running on 13.1.1 now. It seems stable. NFC doesnāt seem to work though, and I canāt save photos onto the sdcard using the default camera app.
Android 13 made a number of changes to how things can read/write to external storage.
You might want to try OpenCamera, and enable Camera API 2 and Storage Access Framework (required for apps to write to external storage).
This could be an oversight, or general dumb questionā¦
ā¦ but the top post doesnāt appear to link to the zip file?
I swear, Iāve read that thing 6 times, looking for the friendly link, so I can attempt to DL the latest versionā¦ But itās not there. (The Emerald version has a link in ITS post, all blue and clickableā¦ But not here.)
Iām currently stuck at 13.0.3 - the OTA update to 13.0.4 has been sitting in my System options for months, but it doesnāt take.
I wiped and factory reset once, several months ago - and it stalled at the same update again.
I just wanted to see if updating would fix some of the random freezes and resets Iāve had for ages.
Seeing a RECENT update, rather than the OTA from last June, got my hopes upā¦

Hereās the direct link:
https://downloads2.myteracube.com/T2e/2020-zirconia/internal/13.2.1%2B6104348.zirconia.user/full_zirconia-images-13.2.1%2B6104348.zirconia.user_signed.zip
It is the text that says āAll other Zirconia usersā
Thanks!
Now I feel like a doofusā¦ apparently I HAD clicked on that, probably during one of my passes through the notes - but the download didnāt show up in a notification - so itās been sitting in my folder waiting to do the local update since before I posted.
SMH
Keeping fingers crossed that this improves how my phone behaves.

On my phone the updater wonāt updated past the Dec 5, 2024 update. It did once update to December 27, 2024 (I forget the exact date), but then reverted back to Dec 5.
Iāve download this file three times to do a local update, only to get a āFailed to import local updateā error. Iāve factory reset the phone before trying and it still fails. Can you confirm that the file linked is valid?
It is what I use to flash my devices, so it should be valid, yes.
This thread is for Zirconia (2020x) serial devices. Can you confirm you have Zirconia?

Itās moot now. I downloaded the Zirconia 14.0.1 beta which is installing now. Iāll update that thread once itās done.

Also cannot perform local upgrade on Zirconia from 13.1.1, the same error appeared. Tried to download archive several times, no progress. Donāt want to use beta on my device - any other suggestions? Or will the image be published OTA as 13.1.1 was?
If the update function fails after manually downloading the update, it will fail when trying to update if itās available as an OTA as well, as the function thatās failing is the update function rather than the download. Unless the issue is that your browserās downloads are consistently failing, in which case that is likely to continue when the OTA downloader uses the same web backend.
I assume so, hence itās not bug report, but rather call forā¦ I donāt know, rebuild? It should be stable release, so I tried upgrade (from 13.1.1 to 13.2.1) which should be normally possible. Any other way then, or possible re-release since re-appearing errors? Android 14 is still in beta, so let the team take their time, I guess.
We have the latest release for Teracube 2e 2020 (Zirconia) with Android 15 at Android 15.0.1 for Teracube 2e 1st Batch Zirconia (SN: 2020)
