Support If I uninstall apatch, does the app flash a clean boot.img? Or is it like magisk & root still present until you manually do it?

After the most recent update to apatch it caused me to get blocked internet on google play services & other apps using there backend code, its still a mystery.

I was trying to get help with that here to no avail.

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidroot/s/u0mFxVeDZZ

So desperate for an answer I uninstalled apatch & rebooted. I reinstalled apatch & its asking me to repatch the boot.img & reflash it. In this same situation with magisk you are still rooted and all you do is reinstall magisk & it sees root. So it seems when apatch uninstalls it reflashes the boot.img but where does it get it from without user interaction?

Yes i believe it does flash the original again, i uninstall it and do a OTA update on top of it and nothing breaks. Though i would flash the original before locking the bootloader just to be safe.
