Disclaimer
Rooting your device and unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty and may carry risks. Proceed at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damage to your device. Always back up your data before proceeding.
Overview
All custom ROMs in this hub have KernelSU support built directly into their source-inline-built kernel, which simplifies the rooting process compared to traditional methods. You don't need to flash additional kernels or modify system partitions manually. You only need to install the appropriate root manager app to get started.
Step-by-Step Rooting Process
1
Flash Your Custom ROM
- Flash your chosen custom ROM following the standard installation procedure.
- Complete the initial setup and boot into the system.
2
Identify the Root Manager Type
Check the ROM's release page or description to determine which root manager is supported:
- KernelSU (original)
- KernelSU Next (newer variant)
3
Download the Appropriate Manager
For KernelSU:
KernelSU Manager v1.0.5For KernelSU Next:
KernelSU Next Manager v1.0.94
Install and Enable Root
- Install the downloaded APK file.
- Open the KernelSU manager app.
- The app should automatically detect kernel support and enable root access.
- Grant root permissions to apps as needed.
Important Notes
- Always check the ROM's release page for the correct root manager type.
- Backup your data before flashing any ROM.
- Root access can void warranties and potentially compromise security.
- Keep the manager app updated for optimal compatibility.
Troubleshooting
- If root is not detected, verify you downloaded the correct manager for your ROM.
- Ensure your ROM actually supports the root method (check ROM documentation).
- Try rebooting after installing the manager app.
