Stuck on boot animation after installing module.

[StupidRepo]

Hey! I've tried all the Pixel 9 ZIPs from 20250107 build, and no matter how many YES or NOs I do, I always seem to get stuck on the boot animation after restarting.
I have tried LineageOS 22.1, and a crDroid A15 ROM, and it's happened on both devices.

The only way to get out of being stuck is to hold down the Volume Down button (which tries to enable safe mode), then wait until the phone has vibrated about 5 times. Then, I hard-reset and it'll boot. The issue is, it boots without changes to my props so the model still reports as Samsung A52s and such.

As previously stated, I have tried pressing Volume Down for all options in setup, and Volume Up for all options in setup, and it still gets stuck on the boot animation!!

Running logcat, I can see this error:
