When switching from Magisk to KernelSU, it is important to ensure that all traces of Magisk are removed to avoid any potential conflicts or issues with KernelSU. The direct method of installing KernelSU is designed to handle the removal of Magisk's modules and configurations, but it may not always completely eliminate every trace of Magisk. Here are the steps you can follow to ensure a clean switch:

  1. Backup Your Data: Before starting the switch, make sure to backup all important data to prevent any loss.
  2. Uninstall Magisk: Use the Magisk Manager to uninstall Magisk. This will remove the Magisk app and its modules from your device.
  3. Clean Magisk Files: Manually check and delete any remaining Magisk files and directories. Common locations include /data/adb/, /system_ext/, and /su/. Use a file manager with root access to navigate and delete these directories.
  4. Install KernelSU: Download the KernelSU installation package from the official website or a trusted source. Use the installation instructions provided by KernelSU to install it on your device.
  5. Reboot Your Device: After the installation is complete, reboot your device to ensure that all changes take effect.
  6. Verify Installation: Check if KernelSU is running correctly by looking for any KernelSU-specific features or messages in the boot log. You can also use the KernelSU app to verify the status.

If you find that some traces of Magisk are still present after following these steps, you may need to perform a factory reset. This will erase all data on your device and remove any residual files from Magisk. Always ensure you have a backup before proceeding with a factory reset.

By following these steps, you should be able to switch from Magisk to KernelSU smoothly and without any issues.
