It seems that having root access on your Android device has become a need these days due to a lot of customizations and full control over Android subsystems. At the same time, Android users and developers prefer Magisk to systemless root Android devices rather than using TWRP recovery seamlessly. But sometimes the rooting process via flashing patched boot image may cause issues like the Fastboot Error: Boot Partition is Smaller than Boot Image.
Now, if you’re also facing the same issue and cannot find out where the problem is triggering or what to do next, then make sure to check out this article to know more. So, if in case, your device is stuck in the fastboot screen and it has a custom firmware installed or while flashing the patched boot image, if it says the boot partition is smaller than the boot image file, then don’t worry. This is one of the most common issues and can be fixed easily.
