The Jan 2025 update for the Pixel Tablet brought important security patches, including an update to the init_boot.img file. While the update emphasizes improving system stability and security, it seems to have caused an issue with Magisk Manager's root detection. Users who have patched and flashed their init_boot.img after the update are reporting that their root access is still functional, but Magisk Manager fails to recognize it. This discrepancy suggests that the update might have introduced changes affecting Magisk's root detection mechanism. The provided screenshot from a user indicates the instance where Magisk Manager doesn't recognize root despite ongoing functionality. Affected users are advised to investigate alternative root management tools or await a Magisk update compatible with the latest Pixel Tablet firmware.
