Hello

There are tutorials online, a Google search is enough.

Hello,

Linux Deploy is an artifact that allows running Linux on a smartphone only through remote control.

If we want the smartphone to be autonomous, we can install NetHunter without root but with "limited" tools.

Using Kali Linux in its "full" version does indeed require rooting the phone and will, as usual in this field, only be feasible and not without risks if one finds the ROM that exactly corresponds to their phone model and its national version.

It goes without saying that the phone will then no longer be... a phone and will only be dedicated to this sole use; aside from cybersecurity experts, the reason for this is unacknowledged.

I suppose that even they do not perform this manipulation on whatever model they have in their possession but deliberately choose one where it has been tested.

Hello

1/2 answer

Kali Linux is somewhat specialized in security.

So I'm putting together a complete guide in this regard for cybersecurity usage.

The CCM charter asks us not to assist with rooting, which is not well viewed by manufacturers; curiously, it weakens the security of an Android phone.

So for this side, no information on this forum. The world is big.

Hello,

We're saying the same thing.

Your link refers to an installation on a PC (which is more "logical").

What's also logical is that Kali Linux users are at least somewhat familiar with the command line, while the author showed us the opposite in a trivial question he asked about a Batch command.

Besides the technical aspect, which has been said to be complicated, everything indeed points to a not-so-admittable request that the author will have to figure out on his own under these conditions.

To clarify:
Generally, rooting is legal almost everywhere in the world, including in Europe.

(Europe: The Free Software Foundation Europe states that rooting or flashing any device is legal. According to the European Union directive 1999/44/EC, replacing the original operating system must not void the warranty covering the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the software modification caused the defect)

In my opinion, the CCM charter does not prohibit rooting (it does not mention it) since it is not illegal.
It prohibits the illegal use of rooting (or anything else). For example, I root the phone, that's fine.
If I then ask how to do this or that on a rooted phone for illegal purposes, that's a no. (So it's not always clear to discern).

The same goes for an Android box which can be used for various things, for example at my home as a TV/NAS interface to manage my content, no problem, but not as an IPTV box which is an illegal use.

Thank you all for the relevant contributions.
