kali nethunter... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I think I may already know the answer but I want to run it by you guys just to be certain. I've done the "rooting" with the engineer's rom, but since the bootloader still hasn't been cracked I can't put any custom os on the phone, correct? Which means that nethunter is out of the question. Am I right to assume that?

Umm. Yes & no.... to run full nethunter kernel you would need a unlocked bootloader, yes! But locked down, unfortunately you can only do what your kernel supports/emulate.
(iirc linux deploy does kali in chroot)
It'll work but you'll be limited on what you can do, especially if your locked down

Bump!! just looking for help with starting a port
<edit>
update #1 - I have built a kali nethunter kernel for the sm-t330nu, however am currently at a standstill due to "qualcomm secure boot".
I am able to flash CF_AUTOROOT, or philz touch recovery, but not able to flash my kernel to test or even load into fastboot. So project is stalled untill i can bypass csb secure boot. </edit>

Well,at this point, Im back and forth between kali kernel flashing (still no luck due to the selinux/knox issues with samsung) and attempting to build a slim, pre-rooted rom for the same device. (same issue) So, sadly untill im able to remove these obstacles, or someone comes out with an insecure kernel for this device, im stuck.
p.s. This is also my first real attempt at any android dev..... so option #2 is far more likely lol
p.p.s for more info on my struggle check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/help/qualcomm-secure-boot-weird-issue-t3065875 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702567 big thanks to MOONBUTT74 for all the help!
Any updates?

Asus ZenPad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A ver) Firmware Hacking

(Since I'm a newbie, I can't post in development forums, so I guess this goes here for now. If this is the wrong place, I apologise.)
I have an Asus Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A), which doesn't seem to have any support from the custom rom community. This is not surprising as it's a fairly uncommon device, and until recently, Asus has been less than helpful. However, the latest firmware update (supposedly; I haven't pulled the trigger yet) allows the Asus bootloader unlock utility to work on this tablet.
I've wanted to replace Asus's firmware since I bought the thing. I know that it's an uncommon device, so I'll have to do all the work myself. I'm an experienced Linux hacker, so I know how to configure and build kernels, how Linux OS images are constructed, how to read/write C, etc. However, I'm a bit of an Android newbie.
I figured the first step would be to port TeamWin recovery, so I'd have a way out if I brick the thing. But (from what I've been able to find) porting TeamWin requires a working CM or (preferably) Omni port. So it's kinda a chicken and egg problem. Do people just port roms using stock recovery and hope for the best? Or is there a (more involved, I'm sure) way of porting TeamWin that doesn't require an existing port? Or is there some other recovery (I don't know about) that's more standalone?
And then there's the issue of porting the OS itself. For thier part, Asus provides kernel souces, firmware images, and the aforementioned boot loader unlock utility. I imagine to get started, one has to compile a kernel and combine it with binary blobs extracted from the firmware image, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've looked around for porting information, but the guides I found all seem to assume you've got a working device tree from one mod that you want to graft onto another. I couldn't find much about really starting from (nearly) nothing. I'd like to say I'm surprised Google doesn't have something written up, but given how unhelpful I've found a lot of thier Android docs in the past, I'm not.
I'm mostly interested in porting AOSP to start, but I'd be willing to start somewhere else if some other ROM is easier to work with. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you might have to offer.
Any progress on this? I was able to flash twrp and root my Asus Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A), but had no luck finding a compatible rom. Did you get to compile one? Thanks!
How would you unlock the bootloader for this device?

Anyone built a kernel excluding the saftynet flag?

it being impossible to get around the saftynet checks because i have a unlocked bootloader i was reading from another phones thread that it can be bypassed by compiling a kernel from source and excluding/removing the flag that shows your phone as saftynet compatible therefor it wont check and always pass. but i have no knowledge on linux or compiling kernels so i was wondering if anyone has done it already?

Treble and locked or unlocked bootloaders

It may be obvious to others,but... What (if anything) does the project treble requirement to be able to boot a vanilla Android ROM do to the idea of the OEM locked bootloader?
I know that there are devs working on bringing project Treble to older/non-treble devices, but going forward, will devices shipping with Oreo, P and others in future be able to have OEM locked bootloaders and still meet the requirement of booting a vanilla android image?
I'm interested as I've not felt the need for a custom ROM since KitKat.

Yes as long as you can unlock the bootloader you can flash other system images to it or do whatever you want with the device.
But with a locked bootloader you cant alter the necessary system partition despite the device is treble partitioned.

After loading a GSI Treble ROM can the bootloader be relocked?

Galaxy S8 [SM-G950F] Kali Nethunter

Hello, does anyone have a compiled kernel for Galaxy S8 Exynos [SM-G950F] that supports HID and External network card? I need to equip this phone with Kali Nethunter.
Looking for some compilations I came across something like this:
https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethun...tree/171563c6970e65c4a1ff71eaeddb303cde5f0f89
This is the first time I'm dealing with kernel compilation, and creating installation zip package.
So my questions are:
1. has anyone already installed Nethunter on this device?
2. Is there any hardware limitation on this device that prevents it from using HID and External network card potential (e.g. Monitor Mode etc.)?
3. If the hardware on this phone can handle it, can the resources in the link I sent above handle it all?
4. if the link I sent doesn't help, is there anyone who has a kernel and TWRP installation package for this phone, so that everything I mentioned above works?
I apologize in advance if my questions are incorrect. My experience in modifying Android is limited, as so far it has been based on thin modification of roms prepared by other developers.
Thanks!
Have installed nethunter store on g950v flashed to g950u. Rooted with magisk system root..... bootloader 8 [ yes locked bootloader].. nougat .....
Installed privelege escalation extension in the store and converted to system app with an app from playstore..... I know that's probably not the right way to do that but it seems to have worked fine and I'm not sure where to find these ota zips.... new to kali and only a linux novice......
Would love to figure out the right way to get chroot installed.and the full kali kernel\rom overlay...
Can anyone tell me if this is even possible on thia device ? Or would it break my system ?
If its possible can anyone tell me which ota zip I need to flash in safestrap{twrp} . I see a precompiled kernel for the g950f and I, wondering if that would work? And if not whay would be the proper procedure for installing kali on my device ? Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've opened the nethunter manager app and tried installing with the default settings but I get an error.
I'm thinking I may need to change the install directory but again I really don't know where I should change it to.
I love tinkering with my samsung devices and would really like to play around with kali if I could get it properly installed.
I understand that functionality may be limited on my device since there doesn't seem to be anything posted online that I can find about kali and the g950u.
I guess the locled bootloader tends to make people shy away from the snapdragon devices.
This is my 2nd s8 and its still a great device after all these years. I would
love to see some renewed interest in this device and hopefully with kali or any custom roms other tha. The basic nougat with gapps...
