In this guide, we will show you the steps to install the latest Ascendia Kernel with KernelSU/KernelSU Next SUSFS on your Galaxy A52s 5G. Nowadays, there exist quite a few ways of gaining administrative privileges over your device. While Magisk is still the go-to choice for the masses, however, in recent times, many users are making a shift towards the likes of APatch and KernelSU. One major reason for the same is the fact that hiding the root has become quite a challenging task when it comes to Magisk.
On the other hand, many banking and payment apps are yet to give any major attention to the APatch and KernelSU. So if you root your device using either of these two approaches, then there’s a high chance of your device being able to mitigate the Play Integrity fiasco. So in this guide, we will be taking the kernel approach and listing the steps to root your Galaxy A52s 5G by installing the Ascendia Kernel, which comes embedded with KernelSU.
