Nexus 9 5.1.1 and nethunter bootloop

[dciphr]

I have been struggling with this for a couple of days and could use some pointers.

I am trying to install nethunter without the installer since the installer uses 5.02 it seems as the stock image. Here are the steps i performed:

1. Flash stock 5.1.1
2. Flash supersu and installed busybox and twrp boot manager
3. Reboot into recovery and i tried flashing both nethunter 1.21 and 1.22 (on a seperate occasion)

The install completes successfully and i click reboot system to get out of twrp recovery. Symptoms

1: on reboot the nexus 9 stays on the swirling circles screen for over 30 min.
2. I tried powering off and powering on and it gets to the starting apps dialogue but then reboots and loops.

Any help would be appreciated

Flash stock 5.0.1

So 5.1 isn't supported?

If i install nethunter by flashing stock 5.0.1 , will i be able to do the OTA update to 5.1.1? If so, will nethunter still function after the update?

Hi, i bought a nexus 9 yesterday.
I upgrade officially to 5.1.1 and try to install NetHunter in different manner (manual and automatic windows installer).
I facing the same issue: boot loop or infinite optimize app.

Finally i found a way that works:
1) Unlock the bootloader (you have probably just do that).
2) Flash the original firmware 5.0.1 (LRX22C)
3) DO NOT UPDATE TO 5.0.2.
4) Follow the instrucrion for manual install:
- Enabling Developer Mode and Disabling Storage MTP
- Rooting with Nexus Root Toolkit (ensuring the Custom Recovery checkbox is checked).
- Install BusyBox.
- (i didn't install TWRP. Simply power off an then pressing both the power button and volume down)
- Copy the file kali_linux_nethunter_1.21_volantisg_lollipop.zip on the device (yes, the 1.21, not the 1.22) and flash it.

It's work. Android version is 5.0.1 but it works.
I think we must wait for a new version for working with android 5.1.1
The 11 of august they release the new Kali 2.0, i hope they release a new version of NetHuner too.
