NetHunter Image vs CM + NetHunter Build

[MarcioRAGarcia]

Hi All,


I tried to install NetHunter using the Image from Kali Nethunter Download Page, I'm using TWRP as recovery, but everytime I tried, I was stuck in Boot Loop.

Then I tried using CM13 as base System and flashed the my own Build of NetHunter.


Wich is better ?

The image have anything more than the Build I made ?


Sorry for my English (I'm Brazilian)



My device: Nexus 5


Thanks in advance!

Hello Marcio,

I suggest you to just download the Kali Nethunter Nexus 5 Marshmallow from the link https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/ rather than build it yourself (unless you really know what you're doing).

Using CM13 or stock Android 6.0 installation process are just same. I would recommend you to use CM13 as system OS. (as it has more customization over the stock Android)

Please read the Kali Nethunter installation process in GitHub wiki:https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki

Usually people stuck at boot animation after successful install kali Nethunter is because the rooting process are not done properly (or possibly the root is lost). Try to re-root back the device from fastboot mode. and see if it going.

*note: if you stuck at Kali Nethunter installation, try to install using CWM instead of TWRP.

The kernel in cm13 does not support nethunter right now. I just dropped down to cm12 and it installed without errors.

Even better would be to update kernel to 5.0 and use cm 12.. Updating busybox and installing multiROM helped some people too :)
