After the March 2025 Pixel Drop update, users have encountered difficulties with Magisk functionality. This documentation aims to outline the issue and explore potential solutions. I'm encountering this issue on my Pixel 7a running Android 15 with Magisk canary-28102 installed. Despite multiple attempts, Magisk fails to initialize properly.

Here are the steps I've taken to resolve the issue:

1. **Reflashed the init_boot.zip image five times:** This didn't resolve the problem.
2. **Upgraded from stable Magisk to Canary debug version:** I've switched to the latest Canary debug version available, but the issue persists.
3. **Flashed both boot slots:** I attempted flashing the init_boot.zip to both boot slots using `fastboot flash init_boot_x`. Unfortunately, this didn't bring a solution.
4. **Removed all modules:** I ran `magisk --remove-modules` to ensure no modules were conflicting with Magisk's initialization process. However, the issue remains.

**Attached logs and files:**

* init_boot.zip
* magisk_log_2025-03-17T15.02.28.log
* logcat.txt

I'm open to any suggestions or troubleshooting steps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
