Install with Kernel Flasher

[!NOTE] This method is more convenient when upgrading KernelSU and can be done without a computer. Make a backup first.

[!CAUTION] Wild Kernels is not responsible for bricked devices or damage. By flashing, you assume all risk. Back up your data and understand the risks before flashing.

Prerequisites

Device with unlocked bootloader running a GKI2 kernel 5.10+
Root access already granted to the flashing app

Steps

Download the AnyKernel3 ZIP that matches your kernel version (e.g., 6.1.x-androidXX) from the latest Releases page.
Open the Kernel Flasher app, grant necessary root permissions when prompted.
Select the AnyKernel3 ZIP you downloaded and flash. Do not interrupt the process.
Reboot when prompted and verify KernelSU manager shows the expected version.

[!NOTE] Match by the full kernel version (e.g., 6.1.x-androidXX) — your device's Android version and the androidXX in the kernel version are not necessarily the same. For example, as of writing, a Google Pixel 8 is on 6.1.157-android14 while the system Android is 17.

[!TIP] This requires the flashing app to have root permissions. On first install from stock (no root yet), flash via recovery or fastboot instead, then use this method for subsequent upgrades.

Supported flashing apps

App	Notes
Kernel Flasher	Recommended, actively maintained

[!WARNING] Requires root to flash a kernel from within Android.

After flashing

See Post-Install — Verify & Finish Setup for manager install, SUSFS module, and verification.

Troubleshooting

Common issues

- **Bootloop** — restore a stock boot.img via fastboot/recovery. - **Manager and kernel version do not match (e.g. 31000 != 32000)** — for best compatibility ensure both match. Install the latest kernel and manager linked in the release and reboot fully.
