Install with PixelFlasher

Alternative flashing app with advanced options.

[!CAUTION] Flashing a kernel can brick your device and will void your warranty. Make a full backup (boot partition at minimum) before proceeding.

Prerequisites

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

Steps

  1. Download the AnyKernel3 ZIP that matches your kernel version (e.g., 6.1.157-android14) from the latest Releases page.
  2. Open PixelFlasher, grant necessary root permissions when prompted.
  3. Select the AnyKernel3 ZIP you downloaded and flash. Do not interrupt the process.
  4. Reboot when prompted and verify KernelSU manager shows the expected version.

[!NOTE] Match by the full kernel version (e.g., 6.1.157-android14) - your device's Android version and the android14 in the kernel version are not necessarily the same.

About

After flashing

  • Install / update the matching KernelSU manager APK (see release assets manager-apk-*).
  • If using SUSFS, install the SUSFS module via the manager.
  • Verify with su or manager app that root is working.

Troubleshooting

  • Bootloop - restore your boot backup via fastboot/recovery.
  • Wrong KMI - re-flash with the correct KMI variant; KMI mismatch is the most common failure.
  • Manager shows old version - ensure you flashed the intended variant and rebooted fully.
