Description
Checks
- I have read the FAQ section, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new bug.
Describe the bug you encountered:
- Login attempt in database
- App reports that DB file does not contain a root element.
- After further attempts, login is usually possible, often on the second attempt.
Describe what you expected to happen:
Flawless login.
I suspect that the error message is more likely the result of a faulty reading process. If you follow the error message, then the database should not be able to be opened permanently, should it?
What version of Keepass2Android are you using?
1.10-pre
Which version of Android are you on?
Android 14, One UI 6.0

Research direction
Start by reproducing the login failure on Android 14 with Keepass2Android 1.10-pre, comparing the first and subsequent attempts. Review the linked root-element issue (#1284); no source file, test, or entry point is named, so completion would require identifying the faulty read path and achieving reliable login without the root-element error.
