Hi all.

Nethunter is here for Mediatek devices.

I have recently made a built of Kali Nethunter for my MT6572 device and it booted successfully. I'm sure many of u are looking out for nethunter supporting ur mediatek android devices.

What is Kali Nethunter?
Kali Nethunter is an Android ROM overlay that includes a robust Mobile Penetration Testing Platform. It can be used to carry out attacks such as; Wireless 802.11 frame injection, one-click MANA Evil Access Point setups, HID keyboard attack, as well as BadUSB MITM attacks. More info can be found here.

READ FULL POST BEFORE FLASHING!

Preparing ur device.

>Make sure u are rooted.
>Have twrp recovery installed. If not, no worries, just download and use FlashFire app from playstore or from here. CWM recovery is not supported but must still be installed. However Philz CWM Touch Recovery works.
>Note the kernel version ur downloading for ur device. Kernel version can be found in settings>about device. Downloads in 3rd post.
>[IMPORTANT] Take full backup with mtktools in case of any problem.


How to install Nethunter on ur Mediatek Device.
Since u prepared ur device, it time to install.
[IMPORTANT] No need to wipe system data or anything. This is an overlaying rom which is meant to flash over an existing android rom.

For TWRP users:
>Download the correct nethunter zip sorted by kernel version form 3rd post below and place it in the root of ur internal/external(sdcard) of ur device.
>boot into ur TWRP recovery, tap "install", select the zip file from sd card/internal storage (according where u saved it) and swipe to flash.
>once done just reboot normally.
Thats'it

For those without TWRP:
>Download the correct nethunter zip sorted by kernel version form 3rd post below and place it in the root of ur internal/external(sdcard) of ur device.
>Download and install FlashFire from playstore, or from here.
>Open up the app and grant su permission.
>Select the (+) sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA"
>Select drop down arrow and tap "Filesystem root". Then tap "mnt" and select "sdcard2"/"sdcard" (according where u saved the zip) and select the zip file.
>Now check the two boxes and tap (✓).
>On the main menu, scroll down and tap "FLASH". (Don't edit anything else.)
That's it.

Completing setup:
>Now that u have flashed and rebooted successfully, (don't open any app yet) open "Nethunter" app and grant su permissions.
>Go to "Kali Chroot Manager"and grant permission, than tap "INSTALL KALI CHROOT", tap "Download Latest, and select Full/Minimal chroot according to ur storage space.
>It will download. After download select "INSTALL KALI CHROOT" and it will install.
>Once done, reboot.
That's all. You have installed Kali Nethunter on ur mediatek device.

I tried with tplink tl-w722n but it isn't being recognised. What to do ?
Ensure that u followed the post above and installed chroot.

-open a Kali terminal and type ifconfig
-look for wlan1. If not there type:
- "apt-get update"
-type "apt-get install firmware-atheros"

Check "airmon-ng" after re-plugging your adapter
Hope the worked[emoji106]

@Brandon Indar Interesting work you did here. I was going to try this but thought it only worked for Android LP and above. Do you have a link to the source? I one you adapted for MT6572. I'm going to test this as my device is also MT6572 :D.

Awesome, I'll see if I can get it running on my device. Doesn't matter if some features are missing or not. I will apply the patches later if what I want doesn't work.
