I'm encountering an issue while attempting to downgrade my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL from Android 15 (AP4A.250105.002, Jan 2025) to a previous version using Magisk.

Here are the steps I've taken:

1. Downloaded the latest factory images from Google (15.0.0 (AP4A.250105.002, Jan 2025).
2. Updated Magisk to the latest dev build.
3. Removed the `-w` flag from `flash-all.sh`.
4. Ran `flash-all.sh` (all commands succeeded).
5. Rebooted the device.
6. Uploaded the boot.img to the device.
7. Used Magisk 47cc532d to patch boot.img (successful).
8. Pulled the patched `magisk_boot_image_file` to my computer.
9. Flashed both `boot_a` and `boot_b` partitions with `fastboot flash boot_a magisk_boot_image_file` and `fastboot flash boot_b magisk_boot_image_file` respectively (both succeeded).
10. Rebooted the device.
11. However, Magisk is not installed. The app reports "N/A" for its status.

Despite completing these steps, the downgrade to Android 14 was unsuccessful. I am now stuck on Android 15. My device information is:

* Device: Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
* Android version: 15.0.0 (AP4A.250105.002, Jan 2025)
* Magisk version name: 47cc532d (D)
* Magisk version code: 28101

Here are the log files for further analysis:
