I'm on stock oos 10.3.11(Rooted and have twrp 3.5.2). Today I decided to install nethunter 2021.2 on my device.
since my last try with 2021.1 was a failure Installation was complete and finished but was stuck with bootloop last time.
But this time, I stuck on installation itself. I'm getting not enough free space on /system error during the installation.
I googled for like 2 hours and found only one article about this issue but that article was about lineage os.
solution from that article is moving pre-installed apps from ‘/system/app/’ to ‘/sdcard/Documents/’ temporarily.
So i tried to move some pre installed apps using the command it provided but it's not working and little bit out dated it seems. so i tried the help function in terminal but i don't know which options i should be using in order to do that operation. I don't want to brick my device. So, if anyone know how to fix this issue, please help me out here.

Im getting the exact same issue with my stock OOS 10.2.12. I was able to successfully disable dm-verity and force encryption. When I got to the step of installing nethunter I ended up with

"Error: Not enough space on /system to continue!
Aborting...
Cleaning Up...
Failed to install Kali Nethunter!
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1 Error installing zip file usbstorage/Download/nethunter-2021.2-oneplus6-oos-ten-kalifs-full.zip"

I am getting the same issue on a OnePlus 6T, OOS 10.3.12

The steps I follow to install are:
  • Wipe data
  • Flash stock ROM
  • Flash TWRP Installer Zip
  • Reboot into TWRP
  • Flash force-decrypt
  • Flash magisk

I verify with Root Checker that I do indeed have root


I also verify that force-decrypt works by:

  • Mount vendor
  • cat /vendor/etc/fstab.* | grep force
  • No output - suggesting decryption is successful

I am using the official Oneplus 6 Kali image from:


Any advice on how to fix this?

Thank you!

Hey guys,

try this

for me this works! :D
I tried that but it didn't work. Im not really in the mood to try the other method. I'm just going to get another phone to do it with because Im using this one for some personal stuff I dont want deleted anyway. Great post though, should help someone out for sure.
 
So heres the steps I used to get Nethunter up and running.

Tmobile 6T user converted to International. (So for all of you running 6, skip the next paragraph and start at Unlock bootloader).

Started fresh with a msm firehose, went back to android 9. Updated to whatever the version you had to download first to get to 10. 9.0.17 I believe. Then after that I upgraded to the very last 10 version. 10.3.12.

Unlock bootloader.

After that I install magisk, pull the payload from the 10.3.12 firmware and pull my boot.img. Patch it.
Boot into TWRP, flash the magisk boot img. Boot into OOS

Now heres the part where everyone (myself included) messes up. Install nethunter via magisk, and not via TWRP. There's just something messed up with how the storage size of system is being reported to the nethunter install script. I've had plenty of space and the script say theres not enough space 0mb free.

Installing via magisk worked just fine as far as app support goes. I haven't checked functionality beyond an apt upgrade and booting into KeX so I havent put it through its paces yet.

Edit: You can also disable system updates afterwards by running:
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.oneplus.opbackup
