Patching the image correctly means you don't have to hunt down a standalone vbmeta.img file from your firmware dump, saving time and reducing the margin for error. 3.

If you’ve manually nuked your VBMeta partition via Fastboot, OTA updates are more likely to fail hard, requiring a full firmware flash to fix. How to Properly Patch for Magisk To get the best results, follow this refined workflow:
