In some cases, it may be useful to flash a customized version of the system that normally ships on Teracube. The phone does not need to be rooted to flash a customized system image, but the bootloader does need to be unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader and flashing the customized system image can both be performed using the Android platform-tools.
WARNING 1: Unlocking the Bootloader WILL PERFORM A FACTORY RESET on your phone. Please backup your data BEFORE PROCEEDING.
WARNING 2: Flashing a custom software image may lead to corruption of data and other unwanted results. Please proceed carefully.

4.1 - Copy the customized system image to the “platform-tools” directory.
4.2 - In the terminal, run:
fastboot flash system [system image file name]
Example:
