About this app

A kernel-based root solution for Android devices.

Features

1. Kernel-based su and root access management. 2. Module system based on metamodules: Pluggable infrastructure for systemless modifications. 3. App Profile: Lock up the root power in a cage.

Compatibility state

KernelSU officially supports Android GKI 2.0 devices (kernel 5.10+). Older kernels (4.14+) are also supported, but the kernel will need to be built manually.

With this, WSA, ChromeOS, and container-based Android are all supported.

Currently, the arm64-v8a and x86_64 architectures are supported.

⛔ Caution

Recent kernel versions have implemented a breaking change causing KernelSU to fail and potentially trigger a kernel panic on x86_64! Check the website for more info!

What's new

vv3.2.5-64Aug 19, 2026

Kernel and LKM Integration
Experimental LKM Support: Added experimental Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) support, fully verified across kernel versions 5.10 through 6.12. - Legacy Kernel Compatibility: Kernels 4.19 and 5.4 are supported, requiring custom LKM builds ("bring your own LKM").
Hooking & Root Fixes
Branch Link Hooking Engine: Massively reworked branch link hooking pipeline, featuring an automated kernel symbol (ksym) brute-forcer. - ADB Root Fixes: Resolved 32-bit execution issues on 64-bit systems (32-on-64) for adb_root. - OS Fixups: Added targeted compatibility fixups for Android 17 (A17) beta builds.
