Step 1: Fork the Repository

First, fork the NonGKI_Kernel_Build_2nd repository.

⚠️ Note: If GitHub prompts you to wait before forking, refresh the page after about 10 seconds.

---

Step 2: Choose a Root Manager

2.1 Navigate to .github/workflows

Click on the .github folder in the repository:

Then enter the workflows directory:

2.2 Find the Workflow File

Scroll down and find build-xiaomi-pad6-aosp-HOS-a15.yml or build-xiaomi-pad6-aosp-HOS-a16.yml. This guide uses the A15 version as an example:

2.3 Edit the File

Click the pencil icon (Edit file):

2.4 Search for the Variable

Press Fn + F3 on your keyboard to open search, then look for KERNELSU_AUTO_FORK:

---

Step 3: Use a Preset Root Manager

The # comments next to the variable list the available Root managers:

Value	Description
Rsuntk	NonGKI version of KernelSU
NEXT	KernelSU-NEXT
ResukiSU	Currently used version (recommended)

⚠️ magic has an unknown purpose, rsuntk is the NonGKI flavor of KernelSU, and sukisu refers to SukiSU Ultra, which no longer supports NonGKI devices. Therefore, only Rksu, KernelSU-NEXT, and ResukiSU are viable options.

Change the value of KERNELSU_AUTO_FORK to your desired Root manager, then skip ahead to Step 5: Commit Changes.

---

Step 4: Use an Unlisted Root Manager

If you want to use a Root manager not listed above, you need to modify the KERNELSU_SOURCE and KERNELSU_BRANCH variables.

⚠️ Note: When using this method, you must set KERNELSU_AUTO_GET to false.

4.1 Get the Raw URL

Go to the kernel folder of your chosen manager repository. This example uses the SuSFS-supported branch of Rksu:

Scroll down and find setup.sh:

Click on the file, then find the Raw button, right-click and copy the link address:

4.2 Fill in the Variables

Paste the copied Raw URL inside the quotes for KERNELSU_SOURCE.

4.3 Determine the Branch Name

Go to the manager repository and check the currently active branch (unless the README.md specifies otherwise, the default branch displayed in the repository is fine):

Write the branch name into KERNELSU_BRANCH.

---

Step 5: Commit Changes

After editing, click Commit changes:

In the popup, choose to commit directly to the current branch — do NOT select "Create Pull Request"!

✅ Done!

---

Step 6: Trigger the Build

6.1 Go to Actions

After committing, return to the repository homepage and click the Actions tab:

6.2 First-time Use

If this is your first time entering Actions, you may see an introduction screen. Click the green button to proceed:

6.3 Start the Build

Click on the workflow, then click Run workflow to start the build:

6.4 Wait for the Build

You will be taken to the build interface. Wait approximately 20 minutes, then refresh the page:

---

Step 7: Download the Kernel

Once the build is complete, you will see a green ✅ indicator:

Click on the completed build item, download it to your local machine, and flash it onto your device:

💡 Tips

• The build typically takes about 20 minutes — please be patient.
• If the build fails, double-check that all variables are configured correctly.
• For further assistance, check the NonGKI_Kernel_Build_2nd Wiki.
