View Full Version : Terminal wont go into root!?
For some reason when i open up the shell, it is not in root. when i open the shell from the nethunter menu, it is still not in root. Before it said: root@kali and now it says u0_a81@grouper:/ $. Everything was working before. I tired running sudo su but nothing happened. How can i change back to root?
If you open the terminal from outside the Nethunter app you will always see u0_a81@grouper:/ $. because when the Nethunter app launches the terminal shell, it automatically boots the Kali chroot and grants super user permission.
What you need to do is type:
su
bootkali <--- This will take you to root@kali
kalimenu <--- This will take you to the Kali menu
If you tried that and it's not working, reboot your nexus 7.

I am also facing same issue.tried above commands but not worked.
Show message :
tmp-mksh:kalimenu: not found
do it this way :
first write :
su root
and press enter
then write only in terminal :
bootkali
and press enter
then let us know what happened
u0_a85@grouper:/ $ su root
root@grouper:/ # bootkali
root@grouper:/ # kalimenu
tmp-mksh: kalimenu: not found
127|root@grouper:/ #
if you have any terminal app on your device then try this :
su
cd system/bin
bootkali
Thanks a lot pedropt for your reply..
Unfortunately it is still not resolved.
u0_a85@grouper:/ $ su
root@grouper:/ # cd system/bin
root@grouper:/system/bin # bootkali
root@grouper:/system/bin # kalimenu
tmp-mksh: kalimenu: not found
Please help me and get me out of this issue.
I am trying to figure out if your kali installation is completely wiped or just the start up scripts .
Check if you have this directory structure in your device .

in case you have then for some reason the startup scripts could be missing from your bin folder .
Get a file explorer to check if you still hve nethunter in your device .

I had the same problem too but with a bit of trail and error and a bit of thought. I tried this:
sudo su
It worked! Let me know if it does for you too.
Maybe this helps. I installed Magisk Manager. From there, I can provide superuser permissions to Terminal.
