Android Lollipop breaks Kali chroot [UPDATE]

Chainfire, who I’m sure you know of if you’re into rooting Android devices, has pushed out an update 11/26/2014 and now the Kali chroot environment works! Keep in mind, I still have this installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731.

However, the chroot environment is not quite perfect yet (nor has it necessarily been). I am receiving this error when issuing commands in the environment: ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/system/lib/libsigchain.so’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. I have added this following line to the kali shell script located at /sdcard/kali/kali, ‘export LD_PRELOAD=/system/lib/libsigchain.so‘, however this does not fix the issue. I would appreciate any words of wisdom/solutions if anyone has any.

#Update 11/30/2014

To not see the LD_PRELOAD error, all you need to do is add this to your .bashrc file:

unset LD_PRELOAD;

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.
