Kali.nogui.armel.zitstif.chroot.482013 Update

For those of you who don’t own devices that are officially supported by nethunter or if you’re not having any luck porting over nethunter using this method: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki/Porting-Nethunter , there is hope for you to at least run Kali on your device. Of course you need a device that is rootable and you’ll need to download the following 7z file:

Then simply look over this post: http://zitstif.no-ip.org/?p=811

Once you have this setup, according to “JosephTheHacker Pwn3r” :

Great News ,I have successfully updated your kali img into rolling edtion! ,It really works at my tablet by editing the sources.list file in the “/etc/apt/sources.list”

in sources.list:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

then I typed apt-get upgrade!

and also I doubled checked the new tools installed on kali img”

So essentially you’ll have to just edit your sources.list file to only have these repositories and issue a:

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

As for how well it works, I’m not quite sure because I am now running the nethunter ROM on my Nexus 6. However, I would like to thank “JosephTheHacker Pwn3r” for looking into this and informing me. Lastly, if rooting your phone is not an option but you still want a debian terminal based environment to work with, I highly recommend checking out Termux:

Android Lollipop breaks Kali chroot

For those of you who are looking to update your Android version to Lollipop and wish to continue using the chroot environment I have shown how to setup here, please hold off! You can do so but at your own risk. Currently my chroot environment is not functional because I get ‘permission denied’ when I try to run the same script as I’ve always done before with my rooted Nexus 4 with previous versions of Android (up to 4.4.4). I’m highly confident that the issue is related to Android Lollipop’s PIE system, though I could be wrong. Over at the XDA forums, it appears that there is a workaround, but it still doesn’t fix the ‘permission denied’ issue that I’m experiencing. However it may help you with other apps:

This bypass method did fix SSHDroid, but caused some issues with other apps.
