Don't update Magisk on the PowKiddy X18S! (Patreon)

It's listed under known issues on the LineageOS 18.1 release post for the PowKiddy X18S, but I figure some people must have missed it somehow.

So once again, in bold lettering to be as clear as possible.

DON'T UPDATE MAGISK ON A POWKIDDY X18S!

The bootloader of the X18S requires signed boot images, and Magisk doesn't properly sign its generated images.

Long story short, if you press the button shown above and go through with the installation process then you will semi-brick your X18S, forcing you to start over again by restoring an older stock firmware via BeTools!

Just don't do it. The latest Magisk version comes bundled anyway!

And even if there was a newer Magisk update, said update would trickle through to all of you via a firmware update from my end anyway.
