The NetHunter Linux Root Toolkit is a collection of bash scripts that setup and install Kali Linux NetHunter from a Linux/OSX environment onto a NetHunter supported device.
##1. Installation Prerequisites
- USB debugging enabled on the phone.
- USB debugging RSA fingerprint approved for the computer.
adbandfastbootinstalled and present in$PATHtar && unzipinstalled and present in$PATH
Use google if you don't know how to install adb or fastboot; the Android SDK is the best way although you can also use the binaries available at: http://tools.android.com/download.
Assumptions: The device is normally booted, USB debugging is enabled, and the device is plugged into the Linux/OSX machine via a USB cable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure a hassle free installation, use USB 2.0 ports during the installation. When installations fail inexplicably, it's most likely a USB version standard issue. We use a powered USB 2.0 hub to connect our OPO to a computer during installation.

The unlock script needs to be launched like so: ./oemUnlock.sh.
####Nexus Flash Stock (For Nexus devices only)
To flash your Nexus device back to the stock image, use the stockNexusFlash.sh script. This way, you will get a clean phone to install NetHunter on. This will delete all existing device data.
This script needs to be launched like so: ./stockNexusFlash.sh.
Once your phone is flashed, don't forget to make sure it's in Developer mode and you have accepted the RSA Key Dialog.

To flash your OnePlus One device back to the stock image, use the stockOpoFlash.sh script. This way, you will get a clean phone to install NetHunter on. This will delete all existing device data.
This script needs to be launched like ./stockOpoFlash.sh 16gb for the 16GB version or ./stockOpoFlash.sh 64gb for the 64GB version.
Once your phone is flashed, don't forget to make sure it's in Developer mode and you have accepted the RSA Key Dialog.
This script will install TWRP, SuperSU, and flash Kali NetHunter on your Nexus or OnePlus device. This should be run on top of a clean ROM install.
This script needs to be launched like so: ./twrpFlash.sh.
If you are using an Aroma version of the Kali Linux NetHunter zip, you will need to do a little interaction with the installer, then the script will end the installation and reboot the phone.
