Installation Guide (LKM Only)
What you will learn about YukiSU installation
Warning
Rooting your device can void your warranty and may cause permanent damage if done incorrectly.
Always create a full backup before proceeding, read the documentation to ensure compatibility with your device, follow the documentation, and have a recovery plan ready.
NOTE
YukiSU only supports installation and integration as an LKM (loadable kernel module). GKI / builtin installation paths are no longer provided.
Prerequisites
- Carefully read the KernelSU Installation Guide, especially the LKM installation section.
- Know your device’s kernel version, architecture, and whether it can load custom kernel modules.
LKM Installation Overview
Prepare your build environment
- Install the appropriate cross-compilation toolchain and obtain the kernel source.
- Ensure you can build a bootable kernel for your device.
Integrate YukiSU as LKM
- Follow the KernelSU LKM installation approach, but replace the original KernelSU integration with the corresponding YukiSU branch.
- Build the kernel module(s) containing YukiSU (e.g.
.kofiles).
Deploy on device
- Push the built module(s) to your device.
- Load the module(s) as required by the KernelSU LKM flow and install the YukiSU Manager APK.
- Grant root permission to YukiSU Manager and finish initial configuration on the device.
Exact build commands and patch integration steps depend on your device and kernel tree. Please refer to:
- Your device kernel maintainer / community documentation;
- KernelSU official documentation for LKM examples.
Post-Installation Verification
After installation, verify that everything is working properly:
- Open YukiSU Manager to check root status;
- Use apps that require root to confirm root access is functional;
- Check the kernel version in Settings -> About Phone.
