[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 808d0l3:
Hey thanks for reading this is my first post! Happy to be here and truly amazed by all the knowledge that is shared here! You guys are something else! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge first and foremost.

So I've managed to get my hands on a Brand spanking New unlocked Huawei Nexus 6p 32GB with Android 8. And am seeking some guidance on how to properly install Nethunter. I will reward anyone who provides guidance lol $$. Not sure if that's appropriate but I don't want to brick this very hard to come by device( well, brand new that is).

I will state I have installed Nethunter Rootless on a Galaxy S23, and Nethunter Lite on a Google Pixel Xl 2 have been using Kali Linux, Ubuntu, Parrot Os, Arch Linux, Back Box, Linux Mint and Termux. So I am familar with Linux etc.

However, this time I am a little stumped and reluctant about the installation process for this particular device. I noticed in the forum people were mentioning boot-loop issues and no Nexmon support. So in particular, I'm wondering about the correct steps to ensure a clean install. I know nothing is guaranteed though lol.

I also have external Wifi Adapter such as ALFA AWUS036NHA (B/G/N) , a couple other ALFA's, external bluetooth adapter, RTL-SDR dongle if the Nexmon doesn't work.

I am also a totaly N00b when it comes to TWRP somehow despite my long history of rooting lol forgive me. -- I do have Franco Kernel Manager and EX Kernel Manager which I imagine are somewhat similar in some fashion? Anyways I digress.

I am wondering whether the steps have changed since Re4son's initial post here on XDA to flash nethunter to the Nexus 6P seen below:

~ How to Install ~~

- Update to / flash latest official Android release

- Install TWRP

- Copy Magisk and NetHunter image to USB drive (via OTG)

- Reboot into TWRP, insert USB drive.

- flash NetHunter image

- flash Magisk

- Reboot

- Run NetHunter app

- Reboot

Here's what I've downloaded and complied so far as per the documentation I've come across:

1) Nexus 6P Oreo Nethunter ROM from Kali's site - https://kali.download/nethunter-images/kali-2023.4/nethunter-2023.4-angler-los-ten-kalifs-full.zip

2) Nexus 6p stock image file from Googles website - angler-opm7.181205.001-factory-b75ce068.zip

3) TWRP's latest APK : https://twrp.me/site/update/2022/10/10/3.7.0-released.html (should I be downloading the latest version or using an older one?)

4) https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_huawei_angler -- not sure if this is needed or not. This is where I get confused.

5) Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt -- I don't think this is necessary as it's deprecated on Github and for android versions above 8. Let me know if this is needed or not! I have used it on my Pixel XL 2 and it worked wonderfully.

6) EX Kernal Manager and Franco Kernel Manager (paid Versions) Not sure if these will be helpful but they were for other roots. I also have numerous other paid Root apps. Let me know if there's any others you recommend !

I have put onto my USB (formatted with exFAT 128KB Cluster Size): The Nethunter ROM for Nexus 6P Oreo from Kali.org and Magisk 26.4 APK latest version from Github.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is my interpretation of how to to the process please correct me if i Am wrong!

Steps:

A)turn on the new phone and let it install the newest update which would be Android 8 oreo. Or in this case do i need to install the stock Nexus 6P Oreo Image? I should note this phone will not be using a SIM card for the time being it will be strictly Wifi if that's relevant as well.

B) install TWRP APK on the phone, the newest version. What do i Do once I am in TWRP lol.

C) Reboot phone.

D) Plug in USB with OTG adapter into the phone with magisk 26.4 apk and the nethunter ZIP for Nexus 6p loaded onto the otg.

E) Open TWRP App to flash Magisk 1st. Then 2nd , flash the Nethunter Zip from kalis website for the Nexus 6P Oreo .. (Does TWRP have OTG support or will i need to transfer it onto the phone ?)

D) reboot

E) open nethunter app

F) Reboot one last time and i should have a full nethunter install with nexmon?

In summation, I apologize for my lengthy post but I like to be thorough. If someone has experience with this and would be able to provide assistance with this via responding to this post or msg me or we can communicate another way if need be to let me me know if I am on the right track. If not I can try reaching out to Ra4son

Please let me know. Thank you kindly for reading!
