Nexus 7 Grouper, services doesnt start Nethunter 1.2

[v-mos]

Hi

I tried to install many times the net hunter image on my Nexus 7 Wifi 2012 with the windows installer and flashing the image manually everything seems to be ok but when i go to the service control the states of the service aren't loaded and also i cant start any services from here, if i go to the console i just can start the ssh service, but i cant start apache and postgresql also i try the BadUSB attack and with the GUI nothings happen but if i execute from console the usb interfaces go up but in the computer nothing happen

i don't know if i doing something wrong or is a bug because the other tutorials for the nexus 7 have been for 1.0 and 1.1 versions of net hunter

for the service of postgresql the opuput is

UTC FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Function not implemented Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001, size=39460864, 03600).

for the apache:

Warning: DocumentRoot [/usr/share/mana-toolkit/www/facebook] does not exist apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for kali apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName . ok

but when i chek the status of the service: Apache2 is NOT running.

also i upgrade the chroot but falis when try to start the postgresql with metasploit, i try to modified the bootkali and set the ram to 512 mb but I had no luck with that

also i try to find an older image of nethunter 1.1 but i cant find it

really appreciate you help with this

Regards

[v-mos]

it seems appear that this version have bugs for the nexus 7 2012

heres is another post with the same problem with the postgresql service in the net hunter forums

https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?25088-Postgres-will-not-start

I had no luck trying wit other rooms and fix for other nexus devices, i dont try the wifi attacks with a usb dongle but at lease i can use the bcmon apk for test wifi networks wit wep encryption

hope you can fix in future release for the nexus 7 2012 Wifi

Does setting:

sysctl -w kernel.shmmax=268435456

Return an error or any feedback.

[v-mos]

Runing this command on kali console

Sysctl: cannot start /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax: no such a file or directory

If i run in local android console

Sysctl: error: `kernel.shmmax´ is an unknown key

[binkybear]

There seems to be an issue with the kernel either not flashing then or shmmax getting disabled (I'm leaning toward not flashing). Can you check in settings > about and see if the kernel version shows google in the name.

[v-mos]

Yes in fact have

Android-built@vpbs1.mtv.corp.google.com #1

So i have to flash a specific kerner in order to get everithing up ?

Regards

[binkybear]

It looks like for whatever reason the kernel never flashed. If you feel comfortable flashing kernels in recovery, there is an older working version here:

[v-mos]

Thank a lot bro i going to flash the kernel and make some test

I guest maybe is a bug of the windows installer because im not the only one with this issue

I will come back with the feedback

Thanks binky

[v-mos]

Hi im back

i flashed the kernel and made some test the result was like this

flash stock rom + install nethunter + flash kernel:

the Kali service control show me the real state of the service and i can start or stop service from here, the PostgreSQL and the Apache and mestasploit service works good, but the hid attack and the bad USB attack doesn't work it all also the wifite shows an error like IW no found

Flash stock room + flash kernel + install nethunter

this is the better way that i found, the service control app doesn't work but i can start with no problem the service manually from the console, the hid attack works (the reverse_https payload show me an error but i don't think that have something to see whit the otter just comment), the wifite appears to work fine, the Bcmon app works good to, but i still have trouble with the bad USB attack,

the attack doesn't start from the app i have to start manually from the android console, the rndis0 interface go up wit ip 10.0.0.1 but in the target machine just appear like unknown USB device and the gateway doesn't change in target im trying in Windows 8 and 7 PC and the result are the same

i really appreciate if anybody can help me with this last issue im been reading the issue #32 but the problem is no the same, expect that this problem with the kernel have a fix in future releases

thanks a lot binky for provide that kernel

Regards

I just wanted to add that I also experienced this issue of the Kali kernel not installing correctly.

Nexus 7 2012 16GB Wifi. Installed NetHunter using the all in one Windows installer.

I noticed that the Service Launcher only showed a status for SSH. The others said Loading service status and nothing happened when toggling the switch in the GUI.

As described above, checked Settings -> About Tablet and found I still had the Google Kernel.

I downloaded the kernel ZIP linked above in this thread, installed it from TWRP Manager without first rolling back to stock (directly from Nethunter with incorrect kernel) and after the reboot the kernel was updated and seems to be working.

I have not tested any of the HID or bad USB stuff described above. I did have some issues with metasploit failing to authenticate to Postgres when launching manually from Kali shell (postgres sevice was running, no database.yml & MSF_DATABASE_CONFIG env variable it seems) and it failed to load a bunch of key modules (metsvc, meterpreter/reverse_tcp, etc...) but I'm not sure this is related to the kernel issue at all. Possibly due to apt-get update breaking my metasploit install.

[binkybear]

@pgrohe - Thanks for posting your experience. The kernel flashing is an odd error but I'm glad you were able to roll back.

The previous kernel (google stock) would have prevented postgresql from starting but shouldn't have had any effect on metasploit database errors. I believe the metasploit issues are separate from the kernel issue.

[v-mos]

I update kali and have no problem with the metasploit or postgresql maybe if you re install again you correct the issue, i still have no luck with the bad USB attack maybe in future realease you can fix it

I can second the "not flashing kernel" problem! I tried it yesterday with the Windows binary and am still on the official google kernel! today im trying if manually installing the newest kernel (included in the NetHunter image) fixes anything

[0E800]

I can also confirm having to manually install the kali-grouper kernel after installing nethunter from twrp.

Slimkat ROM + nethunter + kalikernel

Also having issues with otg-ycable charging. On May 21, 2015 5:13 AM, "Michell Gailing" notifications@github.com wrote:

[thepapanoob]

I just tested some things

the kernel is finally installed properly but

• Kali menu is no longer working
• all USB attacks are not working
• and the update kali shell is also not working

everything else seems to work

going in the kali shell and typing apt-get update && apt-get upgrade works flawless

[v-mos]

i can assure that the hid usb attack works, but you have to flash the kernel before of install kali file in your room, after you will see that the kali menu doesnt work, but you can start all the service from console

Regards

[thepapanoob]

@v-mos thanks for the heads up! :+1: i will try it when im home and in the state wich i am now the kalimenu also does not work (installing kali first then flashed kernel) but you can still start it from the kali shell

[thefornax]

Seems like the .zip file for kali-nethunter 1.21 has the wrong kernel included for: 'Nexus 7 KitKat (2012)' http://images.kali.org/kali_linux_nethunter_1.21_nakasi_kitkat.zip

The feedback given when installing through TWRP Recovery shows "Starting Kernel install for Nexus 7 (2013)".

Full feedback is as follows: extracting system files... installing kali chroot... mounting system and rootfs... removing any old terminal applications... copying compressed kali 1gb filesystem... anlong with temporary files... setting permissions... installing busybox... cleaning /system/app... extracting kali chroot... ... this will take ~30 minutes. extracting wallpapers... setting permissions to /sdcard/ kali chroot is now successfully installed. cleaning up... unmounting system... unmounting data... unmounting sdcard... STARTING KERNEL INSTALL FOR NEXUS 7 (2013) mounting system... cleaning system/app... kernel installation completed... updating partition details... ...done

This happens using the file from the download page: http://images.kali.org/kali_linux_nethunter_1.21_nakasi_kitkat.zip or using the windows installer. installer probably uses same file.

haven't tried building nethunter from source yet, but it might work. information and files for doing that can be found here: https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter

[thepapanoob]

I found a way that installs the right Kernel and has functioning usb attack support, kali menu etc.

1. Flash Stock Android
2. boot into fastboot
3. open a elevated shell and change directory to the path where the fastboot binary is located (not the one shipped with the windows installer the one from Nexus Root Toolkit works fine)
4. lock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
5. restart into fastboot
6. unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)
7. check if the system has the full storage space available in the settings app! if not repeat process from step one
8. restart into fastboot
9. flash twrp with fastboot flash recovery twrp-whatever-the-name-is.img (download here and put in the directory with fastboot https://dl.twrp.me/grouper/)
10. reboot via fastboot reboot
11. download the kernel and copy it on your phone (download here http://photonicgeek.me/NetHunter/Kernels/grouper-tilapia/Kernel-groupertilapia-kitkat-12042014.zip)
12. reboot into recovery mode
13. click on install from zip and navigate to the kernel you copied on your nexus confirm and install
14. reboot the device and check if the kernel is installed successfull
15. install kali nethunter via twrp or the windows installer by skipping all other steps before that
16. profit (jesus what a fun ride)

[v-mos]

you try the bad usb Attack ??

in the way that i tried i cant launch the service from kali menu, and the bad usb attack is not working, you try all the functions ?

i guest i going to take the risk and try your method i will come back with the feedback later

[v-mos]

Ok after try the method of @Kruemmelmonster i have the same result than before, the services cant start from the kali menu but i can start from console, the hid usb attack works but the bad usb attack doesn't work, metasploit, apache postgresql works and i cant get back the storage, i dindt notice that the storage has been reduce until that lock and unlock the boot loader after that i get back mi full storage

in the last day i make some test with a newlink wireless adapter http://www.newlink-usa.com/uploads/specs/NEW-6040220.pdf is much better than the TP-LINK TL-WN722N the newlink have more range and better performance with the 7dbi panel Athena use a ralink chipset and with the nexus 7 2012 have no problem for monitor mode and injection maybe @binkybear can add to the list of devices working

also i notice that the windows installer have a new version i still no try the new installer i don't know if this installer solve the kernel problem

Regards

[mohlerm]

I'm experiencing the same issues. Using a N7 2012 and the latest nethunter image will result in the updated kernel not getting installed.

Anyway, compiling the kernel manually seems to fix the issues, at least it recognizes the TL-WN722N now. I had no time to check if everything is working though.

[binkybear]

@mohlerm - When did you download the images? I think @offensive-security pushed an update recently to fix the issue.

[mohlerm]

Today, with the Windows updater though

[mohlerm]

@binkybear just tried it again with the windows updater. It still flashes the stock android kernel.

[ghost]

I just used the windows installer... Didn't update the factory Google kernel. I downloaded the kernal in this thread and flashed it, but now apt-get doesn't work, chroot update, wifite says airmon requires iw, and a whole slew of errors. I just want to be able to plugin my alpha adapter to get better signal because I'm far away from networks. Please help...

This is straight from a fresh install from the windows installer with the kernal from this thread and the smart install with busy box. How do I get it so I can just increase my WiFi range.

Also on a side note, it says cowpatty and iw are missing for wifite from Kali launcher and or shell

[binkybear]

@AccountNameHere - Your second post you are not in Kali and you are not root. u0_a81@grouper <-- Is a non-root user and you need to type su first.

Your path looks fine in Kali. I'm unsure why you are missing the files you need but you can reinstall chroot manually if needed

You cannot increase the wifi range because of power limitations (output) of your android device.

[neo45215]

I have the same problem on my nexus 2012 3g nakasig,but cannot find the working kernel. I am willing to flash and then try the postgresql service which is currently showing exactly similar outputs as OP. Also my kernel version is similar as OP's, with google in it. Will appreciate any help. Thanks

[neo45215]

Sorry to be such a noob,but that kernel listed by binkybear, works for both grouper and tilapia?

[That1Bit]

The link to the working kernel seems to be dead: http://photonicgeek.me/NetHunter/Kernels/grouper-tilapia/Kernel-groupertilapia-kitkat-12042014.zip

Where else can this be found or downloaded? I just tried the latest version with a 2012 Nexus 7 and the same kernel issue exists. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

[mohlerm]

My device doesn't even boot when using the latest lollipop version (stuck in bootloop).

[v-mos]

Hi, are you installing NetHunter 2.0 ? is better than the 1.0 version, i have a lot of trouble to install and use the 1.0 and still cant use the bad usb attack, for thats reason i not try the 2.0 it be nice that you give us some review of that

i have the kernel file and i uploat not sure if this kernel is going to work with you

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6rPp-IqqQdlOXhmVlAwNlU1S3c/view?usp=sharing

for mohlerm before of install NetHunter in mi nexus 7 2012 wifi device i use to be install lollipop 5.0 and let me say that is the worst version of android for this tablet, i dont know if with NetHunter and the different kernel is better now

Regards

[binkybear]

Are you all using the newinstaller-fj branch? Are you all on lollipop 5.1.1?

Testing the latest verison of Nethunter on N7 2012 is running out of /system space in my testing because of gapps, but as far as kernel issues I haven't had issues with latest builds.

Please let me know what you are trying to flash.

[mohlerm]

I was on stock 5.1.1 before and tried to flash Nethunder 2.0 from the website. I did not try the new installer from the forum since the links are removed but now I realized you put it on github (newinstaller-fj) I'll build it myself and give it a try.

[0E800]

Just installed NH2 on N72012 ontop of most current stable Dirty Unicorn rom 5.1 using most current TWRP. Seems to be working just fine.

I receive a wrong checksum when trying to install chroot with the new installer. Anything I can do to fix this?

[jmingov]

Hello, some problems appeared doing the last sever build and is incomplete/corrupt, (will be restored in a few hours).

By now, you can only wait for the new build. Which has also some important apk fixes.

Thers no problem on your side @mohlerm

Stay arround, ill update the issue when is solved.

Jaime

[mohlerm]

Okay, no problem. Thanks for the notification.

Do I need to rebuild/reflash once the new build is up or is it completely serverside?

[jmingov]

The issue is soved.

Best is a clean install.

If not:

• Remove chroot from the app.
• Get the latest nethunter app build and the new terminal apk build from the repo (fj branch) and install them in the phone (you can replace the apk no need to uninstall first)
• Reinstall the new chroot build using the new installed app.

Cheers

[mohlerm]

Thank you. Everything seems to work fine with the new installer except that I receive a Toast notification 1) No title when I try to start a NetHunter terminal with Kali. And my external Atheros Wifi Adapter doesn't work anymore...it definitely worked in Nethuner 1.2. Kernel reports 3.1.10-Bricked...I created the kernel via the python script in the newinstaller-fj.

Tried reinstalling a few times...got it finally working, I got reported that Busybox wasn't installed. However took me a few different tries until I found a working version..

[binkybear]

This has become a bit off topic and original issue is fixed in latest builds.

[pdxjohnny]

[ronaksuchak]

have you any kernel for CM 13
