Kali NetHunter 3.0 on Nexus 7 (2013) - flo

Hello there !

After a long time of searching I wasn't able to find anywhere a proper guide to install Kali Nethunter on Nexus 7, mainly the lasted release of it (3.0) on newer androids (6.0+) or CM13, so I decided to make this quick guide to cover some aspects that it thought would be important if you wanna jump into this.

First things first:

Disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOST YOU HAVE, PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND PERSONAL DATA!

What is NetHunter: Kali nuthunter is based on Kali linux and has most of built-in tools to security audits and penetration testing. More information can be taken here: world wide web dot kali dot org/kali-linux-nethunter/

History: I've been trying to install nethunter on mu nexus 7 without succeed for the past 3 days. Last year I had already accomplished this task in another version of nethunter (1.2) and android (CM12). Recently, I decided to go back to security works and realize that offensive security have been working it's ass off and since than released a newer version, and I was already in stock Marshmallow (6.0.1) android, so downgrading wasn't an option for me.
I tried to install nethunter(Like in the past) with a tool called MultiRom (Available for free in PlayStore), that allows you to run multiple roms on your device (dual-boot feature like). But unfortunately I couldn't. I just couldn't and it was driving me crazy.
Got errors like:

• Slow boot (on secondary rom - Nethunter)
• Missing root (Supersu)
• Freezing

So if you are facing this problems here is the solution I have to make it works.

Solution:
Install the last stock rom for your device (In my case, Nexus 7-flo that can be found at developers dot google dot com/android/nexus/images)
Then use fastboot to apply your stock rom (Attention: This step will format all your DATA!):

Code:

---

$ adb reboot bootloader

---

(Remember to enable USB DEBUG)
once in bootloader run:

Code:

---

./flash-all.sh

---

After flashing the stock rom, proceed to ROOT you device. (If you don't know how, you should not be messing with any of this, but if you want to anyways.... google it!)

Then, after rooting your device install busybox(for free in playStore)* and install its components.

Now, install a custom recovery (For this, I will use TWRP)
Go back to you bootloader screen with the comment before mentioned and run the following command:

Code:

---

fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img

---

Then, copy the Nethunter file downloaded from world wide web dot offensive-security dot com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/[/url] to your device and flash it with the help of your recovery (TWRP or CM Recovery).

Luckily, if everything goes as expected you should succeed in installing nethunter 3.0 on your Nexus 7 device (May be applied to other Nexus devices)


Bottom Line: Try installing Nethunter on your stock rom, instead of a custom one. Then, if you want to, you always can install Multirom and install a secondary ROM like CM13 to be your daily use ROM.

Any Questions and suggestions are welcome, sorry in advance about any english mistake (Non-native speaker here!).

*: Optional Step, can be done later.
