Hey quick question. Is there a reason why step 16 of Root/Re-root is Flash the boot image directly and not use
Code:
fastboot boot magisk_patched-{XXXX}.img
and then using magisk manager to install magisk directly?
The benefits i see with this method are:
1. If the boot.img is bad it will fail to boot without flashing and wont brick the device.
2. the stock images are backed up by magisk using this install method which allows for restoring and OTA updates using the device only without any extra steps.
This is the method I used to re-root after the may update because I flashed the boot image directly when I rooted last month.
