Hi, I am trying to put kali linux on my Galaxy S4 I9505, using Complete Linux Installer.
However, I came across an error I couldn't fix, not even after searching every XDA thread about it.
My Galaxy S4 I9505 runs Android 4.3 and was rooted using this method: w|w|w.w0lfdroid.c|o|m/2013/12/Safe-Root-Android-4.3-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note-No-Warranty-Void.html
(Please remove the "|", I have no idea how else I can give detailed information, If I am not even allowed to post my root method. And I don't want to spam the forums for 10 posts..)
Rootchecker says my phone is rooted and I able to run root explorer etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I downloaded the kali linux image via the Complete Linux Installer app (kalilinux.ext4.img), put it on my sdcard and then pressed the "start linux" button.
As soon as the script tries to create a loop device, I get the following error:
When I checked in /dev/block, I couldn't find a file called "loop255" however I could find files like "loop0".
When I tried to set their permissions, I got the error that I was not allowed to modify it.
When trying to run
I get the error:
I am hoping someone could help me further. I am unsure if the problem lies at my root method (not full root or something? KNOX blocking it? Android 4.3 blocking it?), a wrong busybox location or something, or a kernel that doesn't support device looping. Or maybe the problem is something much simpler.
