In this guide, we will show you the steps to root your OnePlus 13 via KernelSU Next and SUSFS. There exist quite a few ways using which you can root your Android device, with Magisk reigning supreme at the top. However, we are seeing a slight change in the priority among the tech enthusiasts. There has been a minuscule yet noticeable shift among the users from Magisk to its counterparts.
These include the likes of unofficial forks of Magisk like Kitsune or Delta, or other third-party alternatives like KernelSU, APatch, and KernelSU Next. So why this change all of a sudden? Well, it has now become quite a challenging task to hide root as banking and payment apps have put in place numerous checks for the Magisk binary.

Hence, if you rooted via any of those apps, then there’s a high chance that you can easily bypass the root checks on your device and use payment apps without any issues. So due to all these reasons, this guide will show you the steps to root your OnePlus 13 via KernelSU Next and SUSFS. Follow along,
