Added Nexus 6P (angler) Android 8.1 kernel support

[kimocoder]

Forked the source from "jcadduono" which was based on v3.10 sources from google, merged 355+- upstream patches of v3.20 onto it and added the wifi modules.

Tested and working on the latest official firmware of Android v8.1 build for Nexus 6P.

@Re4son this should be a walk in the park :+1: :hamburger: WIFI & HID is working. Nexmon is also working on this specific firmware.

Kernel sources is over here

@kimocoder That's super cool, Can you confirm that the bluetooth of the device works fine without any problems?

I have Nexus 6P (Android 7.1.2) Kernel version (3.10.73-nethunter-angler-1.1) Build number (N2G48C) but the bluetooth is not working at all, rest of the functions Wifi/HID/DriveDroid emulation works totally fine.

@Re4son I believe it's time to port it to Planet Computer's GEMINI PDA beside the Kali Linux image, no?

[kimocoder]

Bluetooth is also working just fine <3

[Re4son]

@SymbianSyMoh Working on it - give me a couple of days :-)

[SymbianSyMoh]

Thanks a lot for the feedback, time to upgrade Android to get rid of the annoying notifications regarding the upgrade hahaha

That's the spirit <3

@SymbianSyMoh you must use a workaround in order to get the kalifs in place. After you have rooted, install "stericsson busybox" to "/system/xbin/" - connect to pc and go into "adb shell", then "su" and cd "/data/local/nhsystem" and download the kalifs file by hand with "wget https://build.nethunter.com/kalifs/kalifs-latest/kalifs-armhf-minimal.tar.xz" (or "curl -O https...")

then simply do "xz -d .tar.xz", then "tar xvf .tar" then you have it! "rm -rf *.tar.xz" to cleanup

I have reported the issue in another thread, so it will be checked upon soon.

Great, so the automatic installation of kalifs through Nethunter's app is not working for now at least, well manually is always good too for debugging.

@kimocoder I "think" there is an issue with wireless modules at least I'm not able to load them.

Am I wrong here?

Thanks!

[kimocoder]

@faloyeh you are correct infact, modinfo shows correct but it gets the exec format error. I went offshore for work for 1 month, but the kernel sources is available at my repo over here https://github.com/kimocoder/android_kernel_huawei_angler/tree/nethunter-8.0

Someone should fix the modules as I'm not home for a month now.

@Re4son is tagged and notified

@kimocoder Thanks a lot for your reply!

As for the kernel panic , at least symptom wise, it might be similar to what has been dealt with in issue #168 .. I will try to figure out what the solution has been to avoid the kernel panic.

@kimocoder, I noticed your recent tweet re changed kernel modules (from 8 days ago). I took the precompiled kernel and modules from here and gave it a try:

https://github.com/offensive-security/nethunter-devices/tree/master/oreo/angler

root@kali:~# cat /proc/version Linux version 3.10.73-angler-nethunter-3.0 (root@kali) (gcc version 5.4.1 20170404 (Linaro GCC 5.4-2017.05) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 14 02:48:30 CET 2019

The module now loads successfully BUT without the wireless usb device attached only! The phone still reboots (kernel panic) as soon as the wireless usb device being attached. I mentioned that earlier.

In addition, I checked your kernel sources out once again but I don't think that any changes being made to them hence I think the precompiled kernel and modules are based from another repository, correct?
