This article addresses a common issue faced by users attempting to patch their Samsung Galaxy A05s (SM-A057F) with Magisk 28.1. Users encounter a problem where the patching process, particularly the 'Extracting Boot.img' stage, takes an excessive amount of time. Although Magisk reports 'Patching Done,' flashing the patched TAR file using Odin results in a 'File Analysis...' freeze, and testing the file reveals it as 'corrupted'.

The issue appears to stem from Magisk 27.005 (Canary) onwards, as downgrading to Magisk 27.0 successfully resolves the problem. Users have reported smooth patching within 4 seconds with Magisk 27.0. Interestingly, direct installation of Magisk 28.1 from the app works without issues, but patching a TAR file causes the corruption.

The log file from Magisk 28.1, shared in this post, provides further insight into the problem. It is recommended to consult this log file for detailed error messages and potential clues to troubleshooting.

If you're facing similar issues, carefully review the provided information and accompanying log file. Analyze the log file for specific error messages that might indicate a cause. Downgrading to a previous stable Magisk version, as mentioned above, serves as a temporary solution while awaiting a fix for this bug.
