[Android] Upgrading LineageOS 19.1 to 20.0 on my Xiaomi Mi 8 (dipper)

 , , , , , , , , , ,

Install the Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html
https://github.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules#installation 

# check if device is found
adb devices
# reboot into sideload modus
adb reboot sideload

Or manually boot into TWRP recovery, holding Volume Up + Power when the phone is off. Navigate to Advanced → ADB Sideload.

Update MIUI Firmware

Following the docs, I first had to check the Firmware version. V12.0.3.0.QEAMIXM was required, and I already had it installed.
If you’re on an older version, download the right MIUI Firmware for your device from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/dipper/.
Flash the new Firmware via TWRP or via ADB sideload.

adb sideload fw_dipper_miui_MI8Global_V12.0.3.0.QEAMIXM_7619340f8c_10.0.zip

Download and flash new LineageOS image

I’m using the LineageOS fork LineageOS for microG. Download it from here: https://download.lineage.microg.org/dipper/ (MI 8 = dipper)
The upgrade steps are the same as for the official rom: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dipper/upgrade. In my case only flashing the new image.

Android, Wireguard

[Wireguard] Wireguard on Android

 , ,

Update 11.05.2020: I recommend using the PiVPN script (especially when using a unprivileged container). https://nocin.eu/wireguard-set-up-wireguard-using-pivpn-inside-lxc/

In the F-Droid Store you’ll find the wireguard android app.

To get wireguard running, add a new peer to your server. So ssh into your sever (in my case an lxc on proxmox) and create a new key pair.

wg genkey | tee privatekey | wg pubkey > publickey

Now create the android.conf. Define the interface and add your server as peer.

[Interface]
PrivatKey = <android_privat_key>
Address = 192.168.1.3/24
DNS = 192.168.1.102
 
[Peer]
PublicKey = <server_public_key>
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0
Endpoint = my.doamin.org:51820
PersistentKeepalive = 25

Then add the new android peer to the server config.

[Peer]
PublicKey = <android_public_key>
AllowedIPs = 192.168.1.3/32

Now restart the wireguard interface to load the new config:

wg-quick down wg0
wg-quick up wg0

The fastest way to get your config on the android client is using a QR-Code. I used greencode for this.

apt install greencode
qrencode -t ansiutf8 < android.conf

Open your wireguard app, scan the QR-Code and connect to your server.
