[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoinTheRealms:
For some reason i thought you were on th sl101(slider) so i didnt comment. So heres the deal, any fix is going to be data destructive(nothing you can do at this point as even if you manage to pull data from the tablet, it will be encripted) You need Easyflasher(dev section) follow the instructios there (basically donwloading stock firmware from asus and by using nvflash in apx mode it will re-partition storage, and upload the stock firmware to the tf101)

If you hit any problems, post them here and ill help you further

Edit: just read you post more, if you tried easyflaher and it didnt work, please post the details of what you tried within easyflasher.

Its a strange issue, if it happend to me and id tried the things you already have, this is what id try:

-Flashing ubuntu from the dev section(i known very little about how nvflash works but it maybe only re-partitioning certain partitions, ubuntu i would imagine would require a full re-partitioning)

-alternativly (or on top of the previous idea) use one of the ubuntu installers(OLiFE on ubuntu worked the best for me, but franks tools/ newer software based on franks tools should work fine) and flash the Prime! rom on its own.

If these dont work, your last resort is asus - but thats a long shot lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
If you can't get into anything, but you can enter APX Mode, but NVFlash doesn't work, then I'm not sure anything will as NVFlash completey deletes and recreates all the partitions on the drive

So unless you have been unlucky and downloaded a bad version of an NVFlash ROM....

I know you say you have used NVFlash but I`ll stick this here anyway

The way I restore is:

Connect tablet to PC and make sure the tablet is turned off (Make sure it is the only USB device connected other than keyboard/mouse)

Hold Volume Up + Power for a few seconds until you hear the USB connect sound on the PC, release the buttons, you are in APX mode

Install APX drivers if you have not already

Now extract this

http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/Asus/Asus%20Transformer%20(TF101)/STOCK%20ROMS/ICS%20.27/NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.27_WW_NOROOT.7z

And run "download.bat"

I think you should see some text appear on the tablet screen, and progress will be shown in the command prompt window on the PC

Wait for it to complete 100%

Its been a while so I can't remember if the tablet will reboot on its own or if you need to hold power for 30 seconds to get out of APX mode

Either way, make sure it is completely finished and reboot the tablet

Only thing I can remember going wrong with NVFlash was the first time I rebooted after a sucessful boot, it would hang on a black screen

Just hold power for 30 seconds and then power on normally, done, if it has worked you have your tablet back, if not, I think its a hardware issue > see asus
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoinTheRealms:
Im very keen to get this fixed/ find the issue as uptil now I thought the tf101 was virtually software invincible, you need to pay attention to what the nvflash process says, the one thing I can think of as to why nvflash didn't work is it can't write over encrypted partitions although that would make no sense why it wouldn't.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Just a suggestion... make sure you're not docked. Some people report issues when nvflashing while docked (I can't replicate those issues except with the Tubuntu tool).

Hello all,

I have a rooted but not unlocked Note 2 running VRALL4 (4.1.1). Could someone direct me to the post that tells me how to get unlock for this version? So many threads not sure which one is recommended.

Goal is to put Jelly Beans ROM on my device. Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

I see it's been answered so I'll ask why you thought this went in development. I'll go ahead and report it for you to get it moved to q and a, where it goes. For future reference questions go in the question section. Only post in development if you build a ROM or kernel.

Oh and search or in this case just take a look, very easy subject to find

For those of you who do penetration testing, InfoSec, or for the :cowboy: (greyhats), I'm planning on trying to recreate the Pwnie Express Pwn Pad as a side project. If you don't know what I'm referring to, take a look at the following link:

http://pwnieexpress.com/collections/pwn-pad/products/pwnpad

I would never pay $800 for a N7 but I will pay the $20 for the wifi adapter and then build my own!

I work full time and am a n00b when it comes to Android development so any help or testing offers are greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 General] FitAmp:
Holy sh*t they really over price that :/

You would need a WiFi adapter capable of doing your task. Most WiFi adapters are not compatible with aircrack-ng etc...

Also I know some programs listed need the drivers for the specific WiFi adapter used. Let's just say its not a beginners job, but hey, research and test and maybe it will be possible.
[Nexus 7 General] adxgrave:
How about making this one works first? A great first step for your project.

[Nexus 7 General] lfwake08:
Thanks for the replies guys, I have a working knowledge of several of the tools used (aircrack-ng suite, reaver, john the ripper, etc). I have a few good wifi adapters that support packet injection, however I'm not sure about any Android capability. I think I even have the wifi adapter they sell with the Pwnie Express version but I'll have to take a look. If so, at least I know that specific adapter will work as intended via OTG cable.

adxgrave, thanks for the thread. I know that the aircrack-ng suite does work on the ARM architecture because I've run it from my Raspberry Pi before, however I understand that's not at all close to making it work on the N7. I'll keep digging into this topic this week and get back here with some more information.

Again, thanks for the replies fellas.
[Nexus 7 General] FitAmp:
Even if android doesn't support air crack, I'm pretty sure it does, as I had the alpha app waaaay in the past, you could just boot up Ubuntu and use air crack from there :p assuming there are Linux drivers for your adapter. Remember, using air crack to crack pass codes is against the law in many places. *unless perhaps you are trying to crack your own to try to increase your security defences on your network.

Nexus 7

Me: Is there a beta?

Jonathan Cran (Support <support@pwnieexpress.com>)

We are currently working to have the image available soon. You'll want to have a nexus 7 32GB / 4G in order to load the image .

So I have an Nexus 7 32GB but sadly not the 4G :( how hard do you guys think it is to remove the 4G part of the rom?

or do I have shell out $300 for the stock Nexus 7 4G still cheaper then buying it together from the Pwnie Express.
[Nexus 7 General] FitAmp:
They said 4g? Weird there is no 4g nexus 7.... Only 3g
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
Looking at the screenshots, it is just using a Ubuntu chroot to accomplish everything, so you should theoretically just be able to do a Backtrack chroot and hook up a WiFi adapter the same way. I'll try it out when I get home
[Nexus 7 General] gamephreaker:
Ya very true they must have made a typo

sorry, you're totally right, the GSM / 3G / HSPA+ model. Not planning to support the non-3G version at this point, but it should work without modification.

Guys, so, straight to the point, has anyone been able to airodump in nexus7 using ubuntu?

I've been trying to get the chroot to detect wlan1 before bothering with airodump, aircrack, reaver, etc. Probably just missing something stupid

kali

It would be cool after they release the code if kali linux could be mixed with android or dual booting would be awesome.

I am trying to get kali arm (backtrack 6) to install with multirom but no luck so far.

I am pumped about getting these tools :)
[Nexus 7 General] Thaijames:
Basically unless someone can get the atheros drivers working on the nexus 7 all this discussion is useless. Pawnpad has already done that.

Everything else is simple as you can use deploy linux to run kali or your own distribution for all the tools.

The broadcom drivers could be ported (they already work well on the samsung S2)

However much better to have the atheros usb adapter as the range is much greater.
[Nexus 7 General] Phk:
Ok, i wouldn't mind buying an atheros usb adapter for N7.

But i need to be sure that i can get or compile the drivers for it.

Has anyone managed to get the drivers from PwnPad release and knows the correct NIC to buy? :)

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] Thaijames:
no need for multirom. simply install linux deploy from google play and inside the program choose kali linux as the distribution that you want to use.

Linux will run on top of android and use the Nexus 7 connectivity. However you can't inject or monitor, however you can presently do almost everything else like use metasploit, arpspoofing, etc...
[Nexus 7 General] shutin:
They haven't released the image yet. Keep checking their website under "Community Releases"

Couldn't you just plug in an Alfa and use that instead of the built-in wifi?
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
The Android sticks have USB WiFi and USB-LAN support out of the box. Funny they throw in a few $5 accessories and repackaged it as $800. Wow.

When I test work, I like to test with a mobile devices since they run on batteries and typically a "worst case scenario". If you can connect with a less powerful device then everything else should be good to go.
[Nexus 7 General] Phk:
Ok guys, so can anyone send a link to ebay or amazon to a wifi dongle that works with injection in ubuntu\bt?

Even better, how can I know which ones have drivers for arm ?
[Nexus 7 General] gamephreaker:
Sorry to say not looking at stacking os I want to get it native booting
[Nexus 7 General] lfwake08:
I'm glad this thread has gotten at least some feedback! I've been slammed at work but I plan to play with the N7 this weekend.

I've been using Kali on my laptop since it was released but honestly, I'm not overly impressed. At this point, I still prefer BT5R2 but to each his own, I'm sure Kali has benefits over BT5 for certain uses but for wireless testing purposes it doesn't seem like much of an improvement. Anyways, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for providing some input on this thread. It's always good to have some different opinions and ideas on how to get this running to add another tool to the infosec toolbox! :)
[Nexus 7 General] gamephreaker:
I like bt5 too but I would treasure a native running suite not a big fan of the vnc work around In love that Kali auto updates. As far as wireless pen testing a otg cable and a WiFi dongle is better in my opinion due to external antennas
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
I had the same idea, and made some progress so I figured I'd share what I've gotten working so far.

I picked up the TP-Link TN-WN722N wireless adapter that was shown in the pwnpad photos and a USB-OTG cable from Amazon. A cursory google search shows that it's got an Atheros chipset. To get it working, I pulled the cm10.1 source and just enabled the necessary support in the kernel. It wasn't that difficult, and you can find my kernel config here: http://pastebin.com/KC4cLDtX if you want to roll your own.

Once the driver was enabled in the kernel and everything was built, I also had to copy the firmware file (htc_9271.fw) I found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133854 into /etc/firmware.

Here's the dmesg output when I connect the card:

shell@android:/ # dmesg | grep ath
<6>[ 75.446373] usb 2-1: ath9k_htc: Transferred FW: htc_9271.fw, size: 51272

<7>[ 75.911585] Registered led device: ath9k_htc-phy1
<6>[ 75.911677] usb 2-1: ath9k_htc: USB layer initialized

As you can see, everything seems to be detected properly. When I start up backtrack via chroot (using 'Complete Linux Installer' app), I can use airmon-ng to start up monitor mode on the new interface. airodump-ng also displays a list of all nearby access points in range, and aireplay reports that injection is, in fact, working. I haven't gotten around to testing much more than this yet.

So in the attached zip file, I've included my boot.img file, and the htc_9271.fw file (that should be copied to /etc/firmware). This has only been tested on a 16GB Nexus7 with cm10.1 installed, and probably won't work on any other roms. There aren't any optimizations or anything, it's just the stock cyanogenmod kernel with ath9k support enabled.

Let me know what you think! Also, I'm open to suggestions on better ways to package this besides just a boot.img file. I tried to build everything as modules which worked, but wouldn't insmod on a stock kernel. I'll probably play some more with this later.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
Not quoting because that's a rather large post, but thanks for doing that! Wanted to but between school and job hunting, haven't had much time for anything. About to test with my Alfa adapter now
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
So I tried my Alfa AWUS036H and no luck. IIRC the Alfa cards (at least, mine) uses the RTL8187 driver and the only one I added was the ath9k driver to get the WN722N working.

It shouldn't be too hard though. I see "Realtek 8187 and 8187B USB support" listed in the kernel menuconfig under Device Drivers -> Wireless LAN. I enabled it, and I'm rebuilding now. I'll post an update once it finishes.
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
Go figure, it really is that easy :) Enabled the driver, rebuilt and flashed over fastboot and now my Alfa card is detected properly. The zip file attached has the new boot.img with the rtl8187 and ath9k drivers added, as well as the htc_9271.fw file that was needed for the WL722N card that seems to come with the official pwnpad.

As with before, I'd strongly recommend using fastboot to test before you flash it ('fastboot boot boot.img' vs 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'). Let me know if it works or if you run into any problems.

Yes please, that would be fantastic. Thank you:good:
[Nexus 7 General] PengLord:
We already know the WiFi adapter is the TP-Link TP-WN722N from the photos, with the user manual (Page 13), we know the BT adapter is a Sena Parani UD100 (need to find a more affordable option than the $60 Pwnie Express wants)

We also know from the manual that it supports Kisbee (page 14) and Ubertooth (page 15) adapters.

What we're missing is which specific wired adapter is used.

EDIT: Found it It's a TRENDnet TU2-ET100

Any leads on where to get a decent deal on the Sena UD100 adapter?

Having some issues with wifite and aireplay. Cracking a router that I know is vulnerable, areplay keeps stopping and messing up wifite. Probably just missing some dependency. Once I have all these little glitches gone, torrent will be uploaded here. SSH and VNC server have been disabled because they do nothing but leave ports open that don't need to be opened and a GUI is pointless
[Nexus 7 General] gamephreaker:
source released

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwnpad/files/

It currently does not support non 3G Model :(

but would sweet if it can be mad to run on mulirom
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
So I went ahead and added the patch to fix the negative-one channel issue (where some of the aircrack tools wouldn't report the channel correctly) and rebuilt again. Switched from BT5 to Kali, installed using linux-deploy, used apt-get to pull down nearly all the tools from the pwnpad manual, and tested wifite which successfully found the key to my hastily setup testing router.

So far, kali seems to be faster than BT5, although it could be my imagination. I'm accessing the chroot install via ssh, as that seems to be the way things are done on the pwnpad (at least, according to the manual - requiring the 'bootubuntu' command, followed by an ssh to localhost).

Now that the source has been posted, I'll have to check it out. I'm guessing it's probably just a custom rom and linux chroot image, in which case it might be possible to strip out the good bits and install ourselves.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
Downloaded this excited for source code. This is a prebuilt TWRP backup.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
Just installed the backup file on my 16GB WiFi N7 and it works perfect. The only thing bugging me is the data connection indicator not going away.

EDIT: The RTL8187 driver isn't included and this isn't running on the latest version of Android. Real source code would be more useful to merge in 4.2.2
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
I just extracted the files from the backup. It looks like most of the pwnpad specific apks just fire off bootubuntu to start/access the chroot, and then they call shell scripts in the /opt/pwnpad/scripts directory. There are a few security related apps installed that are available on the market also:

com.spartacusrex.spartacuside-1.apk (Terminal IDE)

jackpal.androidterm-1.apk (Terminal Emulator)

net.kismetwireless.android.cloudsharkupload-1.apk (Cloud Shark Uploader)

net.kismetwireless.android.kisbee-1.apk (Kisbee)

net.kismetwireless.android.pcapcapture-1.apk (PCap Capture)
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
It pulls ubuntu from /data/local. We should figure out all dependencies and just make it a universally flashable zip

EDIT: just cleaned out a bunch of stuff from the /data folder. Doing a fresh install of Slim and pushing everything PwnPad related over. Will report back in a new post if it works.
[Nexus 7 General] gamephreaker:
ya sorry I was downloading it yet when I posted. works on non 3g fine just installs extra cellular stuff.
[Nexus 7 General] 98pacecar:
Did you use the provided installer or just restore the backup through TWRP?
[Nexus 7 General] gangaskan:
so is this capable with the 16 gig ? i know the install instructions say its not, but does it take up that much space? the source is only 1.4 gigs.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
Yes, but the build itself is a mess. Trying to get everything working in a universal zip so no wiping is required. So far I've gotten everything pushed over, the chroot doesn't seem to want to boot though. Something about /bin/bash not having permissions (did chmod 777 and it still does this)
[Nexus 7 General] gangaskan:
awesome, i hope you get this working flippy :) would be nice to have pen testing. are you using the TP-Link adapter? i'm just wondering what one i should pick up.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
I use the Alfa awus036h
[Nexus 7 General] gangaskan:
its only B/G from what i see :confused:

i would rather have a N adapter, but if thats all i can do then i'll stick with that one.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
I just use it for the range. When mounted on my roof I get APs from quite a bit away
[Nexus 7 General] PengLord:
Does anybody know how we can get driver support for the various adapters added to CyanogenMod? If we could do that, then native pentesting apps development would surely follow.
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
The driver support is already present in the source and it's super easy to enable if you build it from source. I'm guessing they probably wouldn't want to enable support for hardware that isn't present by default in order to keep file size down and keep bloat from getting too out of hand.
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
This. More bloat in a kernel will just slow it down with no benefit to users that don't want it for pentesting. (This adb push is taking forever:crying:)
[Nexus 7 General] TheScrub:
pwnieexpress have released their image, wasn't much fanfare around it and only supports 32gb wifi & data model.
[Nexus 7 General] 98pacecar:

[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
I feel like I'm missing something that the pwn pad build requires. I have apks, data, ubuntu in data folder. Under system/bin I have bootubuntu and three other dependencies, yet all of the shortcuts still crash and I receive errors in the chroot
[Nexus 7 General] wiregr:
What sort of errors are you getting? I notice that in most of the scripts, it's using modprobe to load ath9k_htc, btusb, and tun. I did notice when I attempted to load the atheros drivers as modules into a stock kernel I'd get issues, although it might have just been my setup. Does dmesg give you anything useful?
[Nexus 7 General] Flippy125:
I was using logcat when launching the scripts and it said that they didn't have permission to load scripts in terminal emu. When running bootubuntu, there were a bunch of errors that it was trying to mount to a nonexistant directory. I had to go back to my daily build. Forgot that I was supposed to be reading a book for History.
[Nexus 7 General] gamephreaker:
I restored from TWRP multirom
[Nexus 7 General] 98pacecar:
Getting some random messages about the Google Services Framework stopping. I haven't made any changes, just restored the TWRP backup directly from the PwnPad source file.

Things seem to still be working and I can at least access the Google Store. Is anybody else seeing this type of issue? It seems to have started after the first time I used the store. I may try a restore again and see if I can duplicate it from a fresh install. May have also been related to connecting the internal wifi for the first time as well, not sure exactly when it started.

Edit: after looking at this some more, it appears to be the same old issue with the play store and not something specific to the Pwn Pad build. I just hadn't encountered it before and was concerned it was due to using a backup from a different device.
[Nexus 7 General] nextria:
Hi,

How did you restore from TWRP multirom ?

Just unzip the file, and place the TWRP directory in the root of the internal memory ?

Because thats the first thing i tried, and it wouldn't show up in the TWRP backup menu?!

Edit: Okay after looking at the script, i noticed the backup files must be in a directory with my serialnumber.

TWRP now lists the backup and installs it, i than flash the "pwnpad-bootimg" under rom manage.

But when i boot it, i just get a clean android, no tools nothing?!

What am i doing wrong?
