[Android] Upgrading LineageOS 20.0 to 21.0 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 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.

Flash latest recovery

Since I follow the LineageOS subreddit, I have already seen posts with problems with the latest update. Check here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/1fxlmtq/regular_ota_update_20241005_on_xiaomi_mi8_dipper/
There it is recommended to flash the latest recovery to prevent any issues. Although this is step 1 in the upgrade guide, I skipped updating the recovery the last years, because I was using TWRP instead of the LineageOS recovery. But to be on the safe side, this time I flashed the LineageOS recovery (which meant loosing/removing TWRP). To flash the recovery, you must first boot into fastboot by using adb or Volume Down + Power when the phone is off, like it is described here.

# boot into fastboot
adb -d reboot bootloader
# flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery lineage-21.0-20241208-microG-dipper-recovery.img

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. As I’ve already flashed the latest recovery, I only had to flash the new LineageOS image.

# reboot again into recovery
adb reboot sideload
# flash again new image
adb sideload lineage-21.0-20241208-microG-dipper.zip
