Today I saw that an e/os upgrade to 1.21 (I think) was available for my Teracube 2e Zirconia. Unfortunately after download and (trying to) reboot I got stuck on a menu from which I choose Recovery. This led me to:
Bootloader, Please connect your computer and use fastboot to interface with the device. Visit https://bit.ly/3t9tbFV for more information.
From that site I downloaded Platform tools on my Linux (Xubuntu 22.04) computer, connected the Teracube and tried to run Fastboot. Nothing doing, Fastboot does not start (permission to run as program OK). (Tried two computers.) So far I did not find a solution here. So I am stuck.

OTA Version Upgrade to v1.21.1-s
I keep seeing the icon for âno voice connectivityâ (as I undererstand it - never had this before) in the status line, though voice calls work fine incoming and outgoing
also the settings for voice calls and sms are greyed out:
besides this, nearly everything seems to work fine - I only have one more issue (but already since some releases): open camera nearly all the time shows a red square after tapping for AF worth lense 1 and sometimes really doesnât focus well - other apps focusing fine with lense1, ooencamera works fine with lense 2
Thank you very much. Not very straightforward for my limited knowledge of these matters. Iâll study it again tomorrow.
But in the meantime: as the Teracube is not yet my first phone, I could do a clean install of e/os without losing much. But for that I would have to do something to the Teracube in bootloader mode to be able to use the e/os Easy installer again. If that is more simple I would prefer to do that.

The OTA update 1.21-t went smoothly. The e-Recovery was also updated from version 1.20-t to 1.21-t as requested.
I am rather lost, but I tried to sideload v1.21 using the relevant file for Teracube 2e Zirconia from this page. However I stumbled on this error:
e/os failed to find update binary META/INF/com/google/android/update-binary
Enough for today. Will have another look tomorrow, but it is getting a bit frustrating.
MAJ proposed yesterday for the first time.
The update seems to work well in principle.
Worry: the result is mixed:
logo not very useful (4G phone)
the battery seems to drain very quickly, I donât understand why.
the media playback notification is completely modified: small, isolated buttons that no longer allow you to manage playback properly (especially if youâre driving), useless moving bar (which must be draining the battery) â no options found to change this.
I can no longer use smiley faces in my sms, the button no longer exists.
the âsettingsâ button has disappeared from the notification menu.
Thanks a lot! With aibdâs tip I was able to do a clean install.
At least I have the phone working again. Not ideal of course, as I now have to reinstall all my apps etc. Luckily the Teracube was not yet my main phone. Now I will have to think if I am willing to risk coming across an issue like this again, if I make e/os my principal choice, or if I stick with iPhone (currently iPhone SE 2016, which never gave me any issues). I know, Apple is also big tech which one should avoid, even if it is better on privacy than Google Android. Better, but not perfect: Keeping your data from Apple is harder than expected.

AppLounge still not working (since v1.20.) with USB-C-LAN-Connector (up to v1.19. it worked flawlessly). Now a black screen says: âConnection not possible. Please check the Internet-Connection and try againâ. Updates still work in the background, but there is no possibility to search for Apps or access any menue.
Thanks for help or fixing (pleeeease)

VoWiFi
Since the udpate to 1.21 today, I cant call over Wifi when the Device is in WiFi but Aeroplane mode is on. This is supposed to be working.
VoLTE is working fine when connected to >=4G.

5G NR Indicator
Altough the phone status (##INFO##) reports EN-DC and NR available, there is no more 5G Icon as used to be before.
Also the 4G and the phone icon is uncool. Can that be turned off?
