This post outlines an issue I'm facing while attempting to root my Xiaomi Redmi Pad SE (model 24075RP89G) running Android 15. Despite successfully flashing a patched boot image and disabling verity and verification, root access is not functional. I've tried Magisk versions 28.1, 27.0, and the latest canary build, all yielding the same result.

My device lacksinit_boot.img and recovery.img files within the stock fastboot ROM. Additionally, there isn't a dedicated recovery partition; the device does offer a recovery mode for data wiping, but its implementation remains unclear.

Here's a breakdown of my steps and findings:

* **Method:** I patched the original boot image using Magisk Manager and flashed it alongside the original vbmeta.img with '--disable-verity --disable-verification' flags.
* **Observations:** Boot proceeds without errors, but Magisk doesn't recognize root access. Neither adb root nor 'whoami' in shell display root privileges.

I also experimented with flashing a vendor_boot-debug.img from the stock ROM. While adb root and 'whoami' confirm root status, Magisk remains unavailable, and I can't perform any actions as root.

**Attached Logs and Files:**
Please find links to my Magisk patch logs, relevant boot logcats (stock and patched), and both the original and patched boot images.
