Android Lollipop breaks Kali chroot

by on Nov.17, 2014, under Posts

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.
