I just updated a lineage phone last night, slightly annoying you need adb for major upgrades

[–] solxix@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not if you have an SD card.

Can you explain how? Because I needed to use adb again today to reflash the boot image for magisk

[–] solxix@pawb.social 1 points 13 hours ago

There's multiple installation methods for magisk, the one that works with an SD card is the custom recovery method. You have to download the magisk app apk, rename it to a .zip, put it on your SD card, then go to LineageOS recovery, install update, chose from [SD card name], and then install the magisk update.

Too bad there is only one newish tablet supported. Typing this on a GOS Pixel tablet.

Since OnePlus leaves the EU and U.S. markets, the situation may be even worse in the future.
