How to Root via Magisk when it’s Already Rooted via KernelSU

In this guide, we will show you the steps to root your device via Magisk when it is already rooted via KernelSU. The Custom ROM that I was using had already shipped with a kernel that was pre-patched via KernelSU. However, I was looking forward to rooting that ROM via Magisk because, as opposed to KernelSU, passing Strong Integrity in Magisk is quite an easy task. So all this begs an important question:

Is KernelSU compatible with Magisk?

Yes, KernelSU is compatible with Magisk, but with a catch. If you are using both KernelSU and Magisk together on your device, then you should only use KernelSU for giving root access, but the modules should always be flashed in Magisk only. This is because KernelSU’s module system conflicts with Magisk’s magic mount. If any module is enabled in KernelSU, Magisk will stop working entirely.

So even though KernelSU and Magisk co-exist because KernelSU modifies the kernel whereas Magisk modifies the ramdisk, still, the module should only be flashed via Magisk, for the reason mentioned above. So, keeping that in mind, let’s now make you aware of the steps to root via Magisk when it is already rooted via KernelSU.

Before starting, please take a complete device backup. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device, and data by performing the below steps.

There are three different methods through which you can root a custom ROM via Magisk, namely:

  • Do an ADB Sideload of the Magisk ZIP file via the ROM’s own recovery [such as LineageOS or crDroid recovery].
  • Flash the Magisk ZIP file via TWRP or OrangeFox.
  • Extract the boot.img/init_boot.img from the ROM that is currently installed, patch it via Magisk, and flash it via Fastboot.

All these three methods are given in our detailed guide linked below, do check it out. These methods are not going to conflict with KernelSU because, as already mentioned, KernelSU modifies the kernel, whereas Magisk modifies the ramdisk.

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.
