In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of downloading and running Nethunter without the need for root access on your Android device. Let’s get started!

so lesss gooo

Installing Termux

To begin, we’ll use Termux as our command-line environment for the following steps. You can download the latest version of Termux from the official repository on GitHub. Be sure to select the version ending with “_arm64-v8a.”

Installing Nethunter

Once Termux is installed, open it and enter the following commands:

$ termux-setup-storage to grant access to the storage of your device

$ pkg install wget to install wget

$ wget -O install-nethunter-termux <https://offs.ec/2MceZWr to install the nethunter installer

$ chmod +x install-nethunter-termux granting the execute permission to the file

$ ./install-nethunter-termux run the nethunter installer

When running the Nethunter installer, you’ll be presented with the following menu:

[*] Checking device architecture …
[1] NetHunter ARM64 (full)
[2] NetHunter ARM64 (minimal) 
[3] NetHunter ARM64 (nano) 
Enter the image you want to install:

So first let me explain what is the difference between the 3

NetHunter Full: Comprehensive version with extensive penetration testing tools.

NetHunter Minimal: Intermediate choice with broader toolset for varied testing.

NetHunter Nano: Minimalistic, lightweight version for basic wireless testing.

For stability reasons, select option 2 (NetHunter ARM64 minimal). It will download some files and extracting it , you’ll be asked if you want to delete the rootfs files; choose “N” to retain them.

[?] Delete Downloaded rootfs file ? [y/N] 
[?] Delete Downloaded rootfs file ? [y/N]    //type N then enter 

Now NetHunter successfully installed

now try to run this command

nethunter kex passwd

if there is no error then set your password it will ask you if you want a view-only password choose n now skip the next step

Fixing Vncpasswd Command Not Found

now let’s get ready to fix some errors

now type nethunteror nh in termux then type

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf it will ask you for a password the password is “kali”

so now you open a file

now use the up and down arrows to move in the file and go to this line

nameserver 127.0.0.53 and change it to nameserver 8.8.8.8

then press on CTRL button then X in your keyboard then type Y then Enter

now you have saved the file with your edit….remember how to save a file

now type sudo apt update then clear to clear the screen

now type sudo apt install kali-desktop-xfce dbus-x11 tigervnc-standalone-server -y

it will download some files so wait some minutes

while downloading this message will come to you

just press enter from your keyboard

after the process complete clear the screen then type

nano .vnc/xstartup

the file is empty you will add the following lines:

startxfce4

then save the file

and type chmod +x .vnc/xstartup press enter after that type kex and enter

it will ask you to enter a password type any password but something easy to remember then verify it and it will ask you if you want a view-only password choosen

it will give an output like this

Note down the RFB PORT displayed; we’ll need it shortly.

don’t close termux leave it running

now we have fixed all error let’s move to the next step

Run NetHunter Kex

now you need to install NetHunter store from this link after downloading the store app open it and type in the search “kex” and download this app just press the install button and after installing it will ask you to allow installing unkown apps from the Nethunter store allow it and setup the nethunter kex

Now open the app and allow it to access files on the device then enter the RFB Port and you password then press connect

now press the connect button if an error show up don’t worry go back to termux and close it then go to termux icon on your device then press a long press on it and choose open new session.

then type nethunter kex & and it will show the same information that have the RFP Port if the port changes ensure that the RFB Port matches in NetHunter Kex. If errors persist, proceed to the next step.

and if there is no error the kali will open with you but after 3–5 min it will give you and error and the session will be closed so go to the next step.

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Tap "About device" or "About phone"
3. Tap “Software information”
4. Tap “Build number” seven times. ...
6. The "Developer options" menu will now appear in your Settings menu.

after turning on the developer mode go to the options and turn on USB debugging (MI & Poco There will be two options that says USB Debugging enable all of them )

Then open your laptop or pc and go to your browser and search for SDK Platform-Tools

or go to this link and download it for your laptop or pc

Connect your device with your laptop or pc using a cable then type in PowerShell

./adb devices to check if the device is connected

Try to run this command before and after you plug your device to check if your device is connected

Now we have solved all the problems and everything should works okay

Done
