Hello there, 'Flashers'!

Welcome to my 8th Post. This tutorial will explain how to flash Kali NetHunter on OnePlus (Tested) and Nexus Devices (Not Tested-Should work) as a secondary ROM, so that none of your personnel data/ROM gets affected.

NetHunter?

Refer to Ciuffy's Post, right here

Pre-Requisites:

1) Device should be rooted

2) Should have TWRP custom Recovery Installed/Flashed.

3) (Bootloader, should be unlocked, if locked)

4) A Back Up if anything goes wrong. (Make it using the recovery)

For OnePlus here is a guide on all of this from XDA.

Installing MultiROM :

Install MultiROM manager from Google Playstore

Mobile application interface for a file manager with installation instructions.

1) After installing, Open it.

2) Tick all the Check-boxes

3) In the last one choose the correct Kernel (Kitkat or Lollipop)

(WARNING: Check the Kernel Status: It should be in Green Letters, but if in RED then, ask about it in the comments section)

4) Tap Install

5) This will do everything for you, sit back and relax, it will take time.

6) After everything goes right, you should have:

  • A modified custom recovery,
  • A boot manager at start-up that asks, which ROM to boot into. (Press cancel so it won't automatically boot into the Internal ROM)
Auto-boot screen with options to cancel or boot now, displaying ROM information.
  • The same application, in the internal ROM, which manages every ROM, and Check for Updates.

The Tutorial ENDS:

When following this tutorial, I hope you could learn something from it (me too) about Flashing and Roots. And now, I think you can Flash any ROMs that you need.

{When you are in the boot manager, at start-up, tap the top-left icon, of the MultiROM manager, see what happens (a little game! lol)}

Good Luck!

Thumbs up with a burst background.

There is an issue with OnePlus I think, Sometimes, it may get suck into a boot-loop but that's Fine, just press the key combination for custom recovery until the device turns-off. Then release the buttons and press them again, once you get booted to custom recovery, reboot system from there.

Keep Coming back for more!!

Thank You,
