SKRoot is a kernel-level hidden root solution for Android that patches stock kernel images without source code, granting root privileges while evading root detection. It includes a Windows patching tool, an Android APK for root management, and a Pro variant with kernel module and hook framework support.

Use cases

• hide root from banking apps that detect root
• patch a stock Android kernel image to enable root without rebuilding the kernel
• get root shell access on an Android device without touching SELinux
• inject su into a specific Android app process
• run root commands and programs on a patched Android device
• develop kernel modules that run across Linux kernel versions 3.10 to 6.12

When to choose

• you need root on a device without unlocking-friendly custom kernels or kernel sources
• you must pass aggressive root detection in apps like banking or government apps
• you want to keep the vendor kernel's optimizations and features intact
• you need a root solution with no mounts and no SELinux modifications

When to avoid

• you just want a standard, well-documented root solution like Magisk with module ecosystem
• your device is not rooted via bootloader unlock and you cannot flash a patched kernel image
• you need a solution with an open-source license for commercial use (this repo has no license)
• you rely on 32-bit apps needing su injection
