first of all, i was a rooted user since a long time, but the recent january patch gave me a hard time, so i went through a lot of testing and here are those, if anyone can help me.
I was having MagiskSU.
1. by uninstalling MagiskSU and getting back to stock recovery, i was able to install the october patch OTA.
2. Installed Magisk again, then one day i saw another OTA (this was the january security update), so i followed my previous steps, again uninstalled magisk and went back to stock recovery, but it gave me a status 7 error.
3. I copied the update.zip, tried to flash it manually from recovery, it said error in /sideload/package.zip, status 7.
3. i reinstalled the stock ROM, repeated everything, again i was able to accept the october patch. this time i backed up the october boot.img and restored it before installing the january patch, but same error. i tried to modify the zip file by removing the system checks, but it didn't allow me. Can anyone tell me what is so special about January patch that it simply doesn't get installed?
P.S. I finally gave up and reinstalled stock and all the patches, without root.
