KernelSU and KernelSU Next are a root solution by Android developer Tiann. The root tool is a kernel-based root solution for Android devices. With the app, you can root WSA, ChromeOS, and all Android devices are supported. The app will patch boot.img or init_boot.img kernel and root the device for you. Here in this post, we will share the latest version of KernelSU v3.0.0 and KernelSU Next v1.1.1 that support up to Android 16.
We have already shared other root solutions like Magisk and SuperSU, but you know, Magisk may stop developing in the future because of a lack of developers and slow development. SuperSU has already stopped developing the app; now, only old Android versions are supported. KernelSU is a new root solution in the market by Tiann. The app currently supports arm64-v8a and x86_64 architectures and Android GKI 2.0 devices (kernel 5.10+). Older kernels like (4.14+). In this post, we not only share the latest version, but also we will guide you to install KernelSU on your device by patching the boot image.

- KernelSU Next aims to maintain strong root access while supporting a wide range of devices, catering to both developers and advanced users.
What is KernelSU?
KernelSU is a modern open-source project that provides advanced superuser (root) services directly in the Android kernel. With it, we have precise access to management over root access, adding one more level of security, allowing the use of system functions, better and more deeply customised, without the risks of conventional use of root.
KernelSU being effective within the Kernel itself, rather than in conventional harsh methods currently as Magisk, gives us clearly the advantages of being much more stable, faster and compatible with custom ROMs, being faster in systems that run the Android Kernel more recent, but bear a little greater risk of failure.
This modern idea of exploit post-kernel goes also gives the advantage of power, led by developers, it gives superior root access more for the automatic and debugging process, as it gives a more permanent condition of climbing root access, while giving advantage to those ROMs of giving better condition of ROM stock, custom ROMs being faster and safe those that give access to root or privileges of using commands of said form.
Features:-
- Kernel-based su and root access management.
- Module system based on Magic Mount and OverlayFS.
- App Profile: Lock up the root power in a cage.
- Fully open-source

The patched boot will be located at /storage/emulated/0/Download/ksu_patched.img7. Download the latest ADB & fastboot tool and unzip it on your PC C:\ Drive.
8. Copy the ksu_patched.img to your pc platform-tools folder
9. Open CMD on your PC and type cd C:\platform-tools and hit enter.
10. Flash the patched boot image by using the command
fastboot flash init_boot ksu_patched.imgfastboot flash boot ksu_patched.img11. Reboot the device manually or type “fastboot reboot” to reboot the device.
12. Open the KernelSU Next app and verify root access and safety net check.
13. Flash SUSFS module from here. And copy the verified boot hash under “root of trust.”
14. Go to /data/adb/VerifiedBootHash and put the string you copied in the text file
15. Finally, restart and hide banking apps using the SUSFS module.
Conclusion
In conclusion, KernelSU or KernelSU Next are a step forward on the way to being able to maintain strong root access on modern Android devices with the correct steps performed to patch the boot image and using KernelSU’s advanced functions to improve speed, customisation, and maintain reliability and security for your device.
