Additionally, you also won't be able to restore the stock boot image via Uninstall or update via the "Install to Inactive Slot" method in Magisk because there will be no stock boot image that is backed up by Magisk since you didn't patch the boot image on your own device.Thank you for trying to keep this up to date.
Please mind though, everyone, that using someone else's magisk patched boot images can result in problems. It's unlikely, but it has happened - @topjohnwu recommends to always patch the image yourself.
When I say "These corruption issue seem to come out of nowhere...", I was specifically referring to what the user I was replying to was experiencing. They said all they did was remove the -w from the flash-all.bat file and updated. They then got into a bootloop with the corruption message. There does not appear to be any user error in this instance and it doesn't appear that Google messed up the April factory image thus their problem seemingly "came out of nowhere". In other words, it doesn't appear the user did anything wrong, yet still experienced a problem that would not normally be expected, thus "coming out of nowhere".Corruption issues don't just appear "out of nowhere"; it's usually user error of some sort, except in Googles case where they messed up their own factory images, lol.
There have been plenty of instances in a variety of situations, including just updating via flash-all, updating via OTA delta, updating via OTA "Install to Inactive Slot", updating to certain Canary versions of Magisk, flashing kernels on certain versions of Magisk, etc., where people have still experienced the corrupt message post Canary 23016 (the version that fixed the initial problem of not being able to boot with a Magisk-patched boot image in December). Even when people have followed updated OPs and have been careful these issues have sometimes occurred. Just look through the threads. Of course, that's not to say that if you don't disable verity and verification you will have problems. There are plenty of instances, even the majority of instances, where people have not disabled those flags and have had no problems. However, there are plenty of examples where people still continue to get the corruption message to this day, for whatever reason, as evidence by the experience of the user I was replying to.Folks just need to be careful in flashing their own image files and disabling Magisk modules to ensure they don't mess up their devices. If you do these things and always follow the updated OP, you should never have any issues.
Disabling verity and vbmeta is not something normal users need to ever worry about, unless you're a developer building your own ROM or doing some sort of debugging. Those options were only mandatory for prior versions of Magisk because it hadn't been updated to support the latest A12 / P6 and its architecture.
In fact, I know exactly why I personally keep verity and verification disabled. When people run into the corruption problem, often times the only way to make it disappear is to do a full wipe or clean flash. There have been other instances where people have been able to get rid of that message, such as reverting to an older monthly build, reverting to an older boot image and then updating that boot image, and on occasion just waiting for the next monthly build and then updating. How you got the corrupt message also appears to be relevant in the manner in which you make it disappear. But just going through the threads you'll see that in many, many instances the only way people could get rid of that corruption messages was to do a full wipe or clean flash.Folks will say "but it doesn't hurt anything", yet they still end up with issues at some point because they forgot those tags were disabled during some sort of mod they were setting up on their device.
Just...stop using those tags if they aren't needed and you know why you're disabling them in the first place. It'll save you headaches down the road.
I updated to April via flash-all with no problems. Rooted with the latest Canary (24305). What process did you use? Did you disable any mods you have beforehand?I just flashed the April update 3 times on this update and it fails and leaves me bricked every time, Be careful!
