Kernel-level root, set up and tested before dispatch.
The Pixel 7a arrives bootloader-unlocked and rooted with KernelSU Next on a GKI kernel built with SUSFS. Root lives in the kernel rather than in a patched boot image, and SUSFS hides root traces from apps that look for them.
- Root: KernelSU Next, with SUSFS built into the kernel
Root setup
- KernelSU Next manager installed; root is granted only to the apps you allow
- SUSFS built into the kernel, with its companion module for settings
- Runs Magisk-style modules. Zygisk modules such as LSPosed work once you add a Zygisk provider (for example ReZygisk or NeoZygisk)
- Play Integrity: basic and device checks can pass with the right modules, but results change whenever Google updates its checks. STRONG integrity, which Google Wallet tap-to-pay and some banking apps need, isn't possible on a rooted phone, and we don't sell keyboxes
- The bootloader stays unlocked, as root requires
- Official OTA updates replace the kernel and remove root, so hold off until you know how to re-flash. Our Wild GKI + KernelSU Next guide walks through it, and What is SUSFS? explains what it hides

Very fast service, I bought the remote rooting for pokemon go at night and was serviced first thing in the morning. Good communication and instructions. Took around 2 hours due to my own slow internet but other than w...
The ticket system is very helpful and quick. A person named Thom helped a lot on understanding the device delivered and what applications are safe and risky to use.
They did a really fast and good job with my order, everything is like described
