Nethunter installation process stucked

[polah88]

Hi guys,

I know there was a thread about this, but it got closed. My problem is that when I am installing Nethunter on my Nexus 5, the installation process gets stucked by 90%, when it is extracting Kali Chroot and it says it can take a while. Well, I guess half an hour is more than a while so I restarted it after taht time and found alexsius' thread about this (https://forums.kali.org/archive/index.php/t-29182.html).

I tried to apply his solution, at least the part where the Busybox is installed. Mine was installed in system/xbin, so I guess that should be OK. When I tried to reinstall, now it got stucked by 70%, extracting the wallpaper. I don't really have a full overview on this installation process so I can only guess that it is because I did not remove the Nethunter I tried to install before, or...?

Anyway, it got stucked at 70% already this time and I wanted to finish it for today but then I started the Nethunter app just to check it, but when I started it, it didn't show any error message, it even showed that "chroot has been found". So now I am clueless what is going on as installation didn't finish but the Nethunter works at first blick?

Any suggestions? Will it work normally? SHould I reinstall, should I start the whole process from the beginning maybe? :D It is okay if it is the last one as I want to have this tool fully working.

Thanks for your help in advance and sorry for the possibly lame questions, I tried to add every details to make understanding and answering easier for you.

Regards

I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 5, though I want to add I was using latest Marshmallow image hammerhead-mmb29s and using the Linux Root Toolkit (LRT) (https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-LRT) instructions. I haven't had time yet, but intend to file a bug report at Nethunter github (https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/issues) unless you want to open a ticket there 1st.

Hi, I also use android 6.0.1 and NRT... I give you the chance to open the ticket as I am not familiar and I am quiet busy nowadays... If some solution comes, would you please update this thread?

when stuck on 70% double tapping on the end of the progress bar works, you feel vibrate feedback when it works.

also: do not tick the binaries box at the beginning of installation

After you got stuck in 90% use the power button to stop the installation, extract chroot manually to /data/local /nhsystem and update the binaries using busybox

have you guys tried https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?29177-%28BETA%29-Kali-Nethunter-3-0-alternate-installer ?
it's a complete rewrite of the installer (along with the latest chroots and apps)
