How to Root any OnePlus via KernelSU Next and SUSFS

In this guide, we will show you the steps to root your OnePlus device using KernelSU Next and SUSFS. When it comes to gaining administrative privileges over your device, Magisk has long been the go-to choice for tech enthusiasts. However, over the last few months, we have witnessed a slight change in this trend, with many people moving towards KernelSU.

One major reason for the same is the issues with hiding the root when it comes to Magisk. Even if you end up passing the Basic and Device test [well, in some cases, even the Strong Test] and hide the Magisk app, the banking and payment apps will still end up identifying that your device is rooted via Magisk, and hence they will refuse to function.

Fortunately, at least for now, that isn’t the case with KernelSU. This, when combined with the SUSFS, gives you the most stringent root hiding environment along with a slew of additional advanced-level tweaks. So, without any further ado, let’s make you aware of the steps to root your OnePlus device using the combination of KernelSU Next and SUSFS. Follow along.
