Edit: New Situation, clean install went fine, App and several services, like terminal, keep crashing..

[ThirstyThursten]

Device:

Nexus 5 (/hammerhead)

OS version (KitKat/Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat):

Marshmallow with Nethunter 3.20 or 2017.x (not sure)

Built from repo (date and build command) or downloaded from website (links):

Downloaded Nightly build 2019.1 Hammerhead Marshmallow and 2019.1 generic full armhf.

Output of cat /proc/version in adb shell or NetHunter Terminal:

Whut? See issue..

Issue:

So I have a previous installation of nethunter but it was outdated, wanted to update with new recent image.

Flashes went successful, at first try flashed generic-kali-full then hammerhead-kernel-marshmallow, flashed successful, but upon reboot a lot of stuff missing.. no Nethunter app, downloaded it from github releases (nethunter.apk 2019.1)
Tried installing it, no juice.. "X App not installed"

After that tried same procedure but first kernel then full kalifs, still lot of stuff missing and manual installation of app didn't work..

What can I do?
Sorry if it isn't a clear explanation, please ask if anything is unclear!
Thanks in advance!

What I definitely know that best is to install NetHunter onto a clean install with TWRP or NetHunter-LRT. However, I did similar, and realised that there are a few ways:
If you want a fresh (reinstalled) chroot, best to uninstall the chroot from NH app, then uninstall the app and NH terminal. If you install the 2019 generic kalifs then everything should be installed. Note that the 2019.2 branch is not merged into master yet so the 2 NH apps might be still needed.

If you want to update chroot, best to use
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Note NH apps still need to be uninstalled and updated ones reinstalled.

Both ways ensure you have custom commands backed up if there was any!

In some cases it is useful/enough to create an uninstaller and updater from here. Use the uninstaller if you need to, then reinstall everything. Otherwise, try the updater from below, if you updated chroot and need the apps done too. Might not work on some devices though.

git clone https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter.git -b 2019.2 kali-nethunter
cd kali-nethunter/nethunter-installer
./build.py -u
./build.py -g armhf -su

P.S. your old nethunter kernel is not modified, unless you reinstalled your OS. If you need to update the kernel, it can be done anytime after OS is updated

OKAY EDDIITT:: NEW SITUATION::

So I did a totally clean install of CM14.1 on my Nexus 5 Hamerhead, works fine, flashed Kalifs, and then flashed kernel for nougat. From the nightly build in the 2019_3 folder.

All went well and succesful BUT when I boot into my new system, it looks fine but when I try to do something in the Nethunter app it kinda crashes.

VNC manager setup goes to terminal, terminal keeps crashing..
If I try the DeAuth option from the menu with an OTG wlan adapter that is compatble my phone just reboots..

Please help I want this to work so bad, I've been waiting for a Nethunter update for waaaay too long man! =)

Have you tried just flashing the generic kernel and then flash magisk instead of using SuperSU and then download the Nethunter Magisk module and the wireless drivers magisk module?

What? I have no idea what you mean with flashing magisk or supersu.. That is included in the kalifs zip right?

Or am I missing a step? Please do elaborate! =)

Edit:

I downloadedthe following:

• CM 14.1 Nougat from somewhere on XDA
• OpenGApps from official source

from here :

• kernel-nethunter-hammerhead-nougat-2019.03-13-0514.zip
• nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling-2019.03-13-0514.zip

Right now I have done the following:

• TWRP is already installed
• Wiped everything except internal storage partition
• Flashed an official CM14.1 image designed for the Nexus 5 Hammerhead
• Flashed OpenGApps nano
• Booted into system and finished setup of google account wizard etc.
• Back to TWRP and first flashed nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-full-rolling-2019.03-13-0514.zip
• Then immediatly flashed kernel-nethunter-hammerhead-nougat-2019.03-13-0514.zip

Booted back into system, opened Nethunter App and gave it all the permissions it asked.
But then the above described problems occured..

I have a Nexus 5.
I'll test it and give you my recipe for success .

My instructions had SuperSU included in the nethunter generic installer zip, but yes. SuperSu and Magisk is needed for root access. To be installed after Android, before Nethunter

Sorry, not quite sure what you mean?

Okay, so if I'd start over how would you propose I proceed? Where do I get them etc.?

[yesimxev]

Your last comment about your steps are fine. But is there SuperSU installed?
If not, you can either flash it with TWRP
https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip
Apps might need to be reinstalled.

Or build an updater:

git clone https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter.git -b 2019.2 kali-nethunter
cd kali-nethunter/nethunter-installer
./build.py -g armhf -su

and install the zip with TWRP

I'm not sure how to do with Magisk

Hi, thanks for the tip! I'm trying to do the build part now, but it turns up with an error on walrus apk. Error 404
That path it's trying to follow doesn't exist anymore, I've checked the repo of walrus..
Is there a work around, or is it located somewhere else, and can I change that path in the build.py or something? (I do know a little python)

Thanks in advance!

Edit: typos..

[yesimxev]

I think you can remove that line from build.py for now, seems like there are no .apks in that repo.
Can get it from GooglePlay as it says on the github readme

[ThirstyThursten]

Nice that went through without any errors! So I can just flash this with TWRP over my existing image? Imma try that now!
Thanks for the help! Great community here! =)
Will report back and close if it worked in a bit! =)

[yesimxev]

Yup, try it. It would basically install SuperSU, then the apps. Make sure you delete them first to avoid any conflicts
