How to Unlock OnePlus Bootloader: https://youtu.be/awbeXSDwivo

Want to root your OnePlus phone in 2026 without using Magisk? There's a newer, more efficient method called KernelSU that works at the kernel level — but the process is far less straightforward than a simple app install. One wrong firmware version or mismatched boot image can permanently brick your device, and most online guides skip the critical details you actually need.

In this video, we root a OnePlus 13S running the latest stock OxygenOS using KernelSU — no custom recovery required. You'll learn exactly how to locate your correct firmware version, extract the proper init_boot.img from the official stock ROM, and patch it using the KernelSU app. We also cover the essential prerequisite everyone forgets: unlocking your bootloader first, including the Deep Test app process for Chinese variants and the standard fastboot flashing unlock command for global models .

But here's the real catch: after successfully flashing the patched image, the KernelSU app might still show "Not Installed" — and that's where most tutorials end. What did the video do differently to make it finally work, and why did the host emphasize matching the "KMI" version during patching? Watch until the end to see the final verification step and discover how to manage root permissions once it's all working.
