Kali NetHunter for Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU)

[DeadSquirrel01]

Kali NetHunter for Galaxy A5 (SM-A500XX)​

What is Kali NetHunter?​

If you don't know what NetHunter is read this: https://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/

Q: Why don't I flash the original nethunter version by keeping my current kernel?
A: To get Nethunter fully work you need a kernel that supports its features, such as put a wireless adapter in monitor mode or perform a HID Keyboard attack

Special Patches included in this kernel:
mac80211 injection patch, to put wireless adapters in monitor mode; note that built-in wireless chipset doesn't support monitor mode and you have to use external wireless adapter (see supported wireless cards here)
HID patch, to perform HID keyboard attacks
CD-ROM patch, to emulate CD-ROMs in DriveDroid

Warning!!!:
This version works only with A500XX variants, but it's tested ONLY on A500FU.
DO NOT FLASH IN ANY A510 VARIANT

Disclaimer:

I'm not responsable for bricked devices :( , dead phone chargers,
nuclear explosions or global warming.
Flash it at YOUR OWN RISK.

4) Optional: flash Google Apps

8) Open Nethunter app and go to menu<chroot manager<install chroot and download the full chroot, for devices which have more storage available, or minimal chroot, for devices which have less space available (if you've downloaded 700+MB version skip this step, chroot full is included )
9) Close NetHunter app and reopen it to complete the installation
10) Enjoy

How to Install (TouchWiz):
1) Flash TouchWiz (aka Stock ROM) with odin (you can find it on sammobile)

So, I installed on my friend's A5 RR Rom, then I tried to flash your kernel. Suddenly, in the middle of the procces, i saw "error:device not recognised. Aborting...".

Man, IT'S FOR CM 13 ROM, not for resrrection remix, so, I've only a question:
have you read the instructions before isntalling it?

Nope cm and aosp are different. Try flashing the cm 13 rom
If you get the same error, post me the twrp log

 

[DaveSoEasy]

Very nice, thanks dude. I'll report bugs if I found some. Until now everything works well.

As I proceeded: Flash TWRP > Backup > Factory Reset > Installed CM 13 > Flash NetHunter & kernel modules > Reboot > install chroot > Update on Terminal > Upgrade on terminal.

You're supposed to include any kernel modules in the NetHunter installer under the devicename/modules directory and it is installed by NetHunter installer.

When this was merged into the NetHunter master branch, I added the proper devicename conditions that were missing as well, which should solve your unrecognized device errors.

If you don't mind, please open another pull request adding the missing modules to the repo to prevent user confusion.

Thanks.

Update: I've stripped them myself and added them to the repository. You should strip (debug symbols only) from your modules before distributing them. (so they aren't 55 MB, but rather 4 MB)
You can do this by adding to your kernel build script:

find * -name "*.ko" -exec ${CROSS_COMPILE}strip -g "{}" \;

Hi, thanks for you reply, now I'll try to recompile kernel on NetHunter (i don't know if it will work), because it's night and i don't want to turn on my pc

Hi, I've updated kernel, to support usb bluetooth adapters, can u push it on nethunter source page? Here's the link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540823473. There are also new kernel modules. You can find them here: https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/nethuter_a5ulte_modules

this is your job if you've decided to maintain a device as official.
you have the kali-nethunter github repository on your PC?
if not, use

git clone --depth 10 https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/kali-nethunter.git
cd kali-nethunter

(depth 10 will take up significantly less hard drive space)

you then need to add the offensive security nethunter repository as a remote, to do this:

git remote add ofsc https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter.git -t master

you can then fetch updates from ofsc using the command:

git fetch ofsc

if you want to make your repository the same as ours (in the case that your commits are already merged and you don't need to save anything):

git reset --hard ofsc/master

-or-
if you have current commits you want to move from older history to on top of our latest history, you can rebase them using:

git rebase ofsc/master

(you may need to fix conflicts!)

once everything looks good, you can use:

git diff HEAD

this will show differences between the current files in the repository with your changes, and the latest commit of the repository.

follow that up with:

git commit

then once you've made a reasonable title/message, save it, and you can push to your repository and send another pull request!

git push origin master

don't forget to strip your kernel modules as I have stated in my last post!
