[Certified] Android 14.1.0 for Teracube 2e 2nd Batch Emerald (SN: 2021)

Did you follow the recommendation to reflash, rather than just factory reset, especially if there’s still issues? If you did, and the problem is still happening, the followup recommendation from today is to reflash twice in a row, so that both the A and B versions of the system match the clean version, and don’t potentially restore whatever is causing your specific reboot storm.

I only did the factory reset.
it remained Android 14 after the factory reset which i found a bit odd.
Do you want me to install a previous version of Android? or just reinstalling Android 14?

Re-installing the latest official image twice in a row is my current recommendation. I don’t think we need to go back-level at this point, especially since this seems to be an isolated issue on your device. It feels like something didn’t go well in a flash or update on-device.

Factory reset is just wiping your data and starting over with the existing version of the OS that’s currently installed. It won’t reset any corrupted parts of the system, just gets you back to where it was before you ran the initial setup on that specific OS version.
If anything was corrupted in the actual flash, then Factory Reset won’t fix it. It needs a new flash, preferably after verifying the hash or doing a new download if you can’t validate the file hash against known good.
Currently going through an issue with supporting MS Windows 11 that’s similar, where you need to actually download the installation files and re-run the setup (basically like an Android reflash) to fix some corrupted files in the system store. Doing a Windows reset just leaves it broken, because its immutable files aren’t as pristine as they should be. Probably an AV caused corruption, but… not really sure, just know the workaround at this point.

Downloaded the installation file from this thread and installed it twice in a row.
So far it looks good, no restart that i know of.
It still shows the two different android systems in the ram usage overview but i don’t really care about that.

If you don’t hear anything again from me, consider it solved.

thank you so much

well, guess that was too early.

reboots are back, frequency went down to like 2 a day and the impact it has on the usage has improved a lot. Its lagging way less after the reboots.

What is your battery’s age, and about what runtime do you get?

Do you notice if the reboots happen when it is hot, or if you’re heavily using the device?

Is this update confirmed to work with AT&T?

I just exchanged my battery a couple of weeks ago so i have no issues with the runtime, especially compared to the previous battery.

I can’t see a link between temperature and usage, it happened on either end of the scale for both

At this juncture, I’d suggest reaching out to support@myteracube.com to discuss warranty repair or replacement for your phone.

I repaired my Issues !!! No more reboots or crashing apps. :smiley:
Probably not all steps needed but this worked for me.

  • Backup to Google Backup (system > Backup)
  • I have taken out my sd Card.
  • Backup of /storage/emulated/0 with “DriveSync to GoogleDrive”
  • I followed this reset manuell for Android 13 Link
  • Skipped connection to google account
  • Download upgrade zip and Upgrade to 14
  • Connecting android to GoogleAccount
  • Restore of last Google Backup
  • Restore of /storage/emulated/0 with “DriveSync to GoogleDrive”
  • insert cd card

unfortunately the Issues are back.
Over time the Phone got slower and slower at times.
Now I’m back at the same State. 1-2 Reboots a day and random freezing apps with reboot after 5min

No, sorry. It’s the same development. First it’s better and then the Issues creep back. Since yesterday it is back to normal.
Is there a Teracube 3e in development? I assume the cersion 14.1.0 just needs better hardware

@Saijin_Naib @Sahil_Sonar Is this update confirmed to work with AT&T?

Yes it has been tested (The issue has been isolated now and every other builds will always have it working)

I received a refurbished phone today, which shipped with Android 11. I followed the advice to install Android 13 first, using the 13.1.1. emerald build. This first step worked fine on the first attempt. However, from there when I tried to manually update to 14.1.0, I kept getting the error “unable to load package.” However, the updater APK looked online for an update and told me that 14.0.1 was available. So I allowed it to downloaded that version, and it installed without any problem.

Is there some reason why the updater APK would show the older 14.0.1 and not the 14.1.0, and why I would be unable to update to 14.1.0 by manually loading the “sys_emerald-images-14.1.0+65f18f1.emerald.user_signed.zip” file?

14.1.0 is available as incremental on top of 14.0.1. The Updater would sometimes show your local installed version, just apply for any updates that appear.
