Trying to get monitor mode working with nexmon - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded nexmon from the play store and I can't seem to enable monitor mode, I have the utils and framework installed. I'm using dirty unicorns ROM with Kali on top. I have been looking all over on how to use it. The github says to use adb shell and then enter a command but I'm trying to do mobile pen testing and don't want to be tangled to a PC. Can anyone tell me how its done ?

Have you tried using terminal emulator to run the commands?

The correct command is nexutil -m1 right ? I tried both the kali terminal and the android terminal.

Hopefully someone else can come give some advice, I have no clue as I have never ran that set up. I was just thinking the only way to get adb commands without a pc is to use terminal emulator app.

Anyone ?

I too need help with this. From the reading I've done nexmon is supposed to work as a standalone for things like airodump-ng but it doesn't exactly define handshakes and what is happening. It uses the terms becons and frame, I don't understand how these translate and would prefer to enable monitoring on the CMD in Kali.
It seems the problem is that nexmon stores the files in Android bins and Kali CMD doesn't see these as it is a separate machine. How do you merge the files so Kali can recognize that nexmon has a way to monitor the wlan0.
Furthermore how do you get Kali CMD to kill the P2P0 network, it seems as though this might cause a problem once you get it to monitor and try to run airo commands

USB debugging not working properly (on Ubuntu)

Hello,
I just got a new U11, hoping to use it to test/debug my Android apps. But I cannot get it connect to ADB reliably. I have tried everything I could, including
enabling developer options + USB debugging
adb kill-server, adb start-server and adb devices
revoking USB debugging authorizations
authorizing & remembering my PC
I've tried countless combinations of the above, but adb keeps showing unauthorized or offline. Very very occasionally adb shows "connected", but Android Studio freezes when I run my app. When I unplug, Android Studio immediately unfreezes. But again, when I plug my phone it becomes unauthorized/offline.
My other Android phone works without any issues. Is it a bug with the stock firmware?
The phone is running stock European firmware, with everything stock (including locked bootloader).
Could anyone please test/confirm this on their Linux laptop/desktop? Any fixes? Thanks a lot!
Strangely, it works on Windows. Maybe Ubuntu kernel update yesterday broke adb :crying:
I get my phone tomorrow and will update adb and try to connect. Have you tried starting the adb server as root?
sudo adb start-server

Yes, I did all adb commands after $ sudo -s
As it works without any problems on Windows, perhaps I should ask on a Linux forum?
For now I would use Windows until I found a solution

I have the same problem.
I have Debian in my computer (MSI GS40 6QE) and in my girlfriend's computer (Asus UX32V) . Same update state in both of them.
I'm unable to use adb or fastboot in my computer but it works correctly in my girlfriend's computer.

Haha, at least the issue is not unique to my phone (and laptop) :laugh:
I suspect Android SDK is most well tested on Windows, at least everything is already set up for you. But Linux allows you to run most dev tools in your HOME folder, so they don't mess things up.
Hopefully someone comes up with a fix.
My Xiaomi running LineageOS (basically AOSP) doesn't have any issue. Perhaps HTC Sense heavily modified some USB options?

I have no problem with my M8 and my computer.
Android "is" Linux. By that, at least, tools like adb and fastboot must be very well tested under Linux :angel:.
Try to open you computer file browser and to browse or copy some files from/to your computer/phone. I'm unable to do that also.
I tried to root my phone in the same day I received it and I was getting really worried because I was unable to use fastboot (I by that I was thinking that my device was defective), even the simple "fastboot getvar all". Then I remembered to switch to another computer and voilà, everything was working perfectly.
Maybe HTC has something broken in the USB3.0 stack.
File transfer and fastboot don't work on my Ubuntu either.

I don't know if it related with kernel (in computer side). I already tried version 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 (the one I'm running right now).

I tried 4.10 and 4.4, neither worked
I have same problem with Windows 10 64Bit.
All working fine here.
Sounds like udev. Have you followed the setting up usb access part of

I have solved my problem. I have install Windows 10 new and now all working.

What Linux distro/version are you running? I've been trying to get this working with Arch and it's driving me nuts!
I run various flavours of Debian and Ubuntu across my machines and have ADB working on them all..

Got it working by downloading adb straight from Google instead of using the Arch package.

Debian/Ubuntu/Mint Linux and Moto X4

Personally, after Windows 8, followed by Windows 10, I started to seriously look into Linux (which is free) as my primary desktop. Today LibreOffice (which is free) has more features than Microsoft Office and can open, edit, and save all of Microsoft Office's documents. Thanks to Steam's new deployment, I can even now run my Windows-only games on Linux too. The one thing I found very hard to swallow was trying to get my Andriod device (which is technically Unix too) to actually connect to my computer and I imagine that is because the documentation (even via a Google search) to using ADB or Fast Boot with Linux seems to be hidden among pages upon pages of Windows users.
For simple ease of reference as I couldn't even find this here on XDA, allow me to correct the matter.
Type out (or copy and paste) the following commands to install ADB and Fastboot.
Code:
sudo apt-get install adb
sudo apt-get install fastboot
Now you have both adb and fastboot installed. Next, you'll need to enable adb.
Code:
sudo adb
Now boot your phone to your bootloader screen (you get there by pressing both your power and lower volume keys at the same time). Once there load TWRP with the following command.
Code:
sudo fastboot boot '/your_path_here/twrp-3.2.3-0-payton.img'
Your path will be wherever you happen to have downloaded your copy of TWRP. From there I was able to successfully mount my device within TWRP and upload my ROM zip file as needed.
You will upload files to your phone using the "ADB PUSH" command to your /sdcard/ directory (as admin in windows or root in Linux). For example:
Code:
adb push lineage-16.0-20180921-UNOFFICIAL-payton.zip /sdcard/
I hope this was helpful.
Note: Because you're doing this in Linux, the files you upload to your phone may not have the correct permission settings (chmod settings) after they are uploaded. This is very unlikely, but still technically possible.
Thankfully, the folks at TWRP have thought of this and in the 'Advanced' menu, you will find a file manager. From there select the file of your choice and click the chmod button that reads "chmod 0777". Don't forget to mount the DATA partition (before using the file manager) else you may not see the file you are looking for.

This is helpful, but most newbies to Linux wouldn't even know how to execute those base files. lol But Windows users coming to Linux do know how to run command prompts (good old Microsoft kept the command prompt around long enough that folks moving to Linux just associate the terminal in the same light). Which is why I thought to have them install a preconfigured program would be easier.
But thanks for the source. It is still useful.

lol..i thought the first thing a Linux newbie would learn is command prompt.
you need to read about terminal before you decide using a Linux box.

:laugh: I agree. But there are a lot of folks who feel intimidated whenever learning something new. If I had started this thread with a full introduction to manually configuring and executing everything, most folks would have easily been discouraged. Especially the younger or older generations who fall somewhere between the line of "I don't got time for that" or "why so difficult". lol :laugh: Inoculating folks into using Linux I feel works best. Keep it simple and suggest that there are more in-depth ways of doing things to peak curiosity. -- Which is why I'm glad you pointed that out and why I'm loving writing this reply at the moment. :angel:

Is it possible to do adb operations from android phone itself, without a computer?

I have seen discussions online such as this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12634280/what-is-a-adb-daemon
If I understand the answers give there correctly, whenever I use an adb command on my computer connected to a smartphone, the reason it does anything is because there is a background process adbd, the adb daemon, running on the smartphone. Everything I see on the computer screen when I issue an adb command is the result returned by the adbd daemon.
a) Is this correct? Is this how adb is supposed to work?
b) If it is correct, is there any way to programmatically enable/disable/re-enable the adbd process? Can I programmatically interact with adbd at all (either through Java or NDK)? Can I use adbd from the android phone itself and perform actions performed using adb, without using a computer?
I am hoping to do this on a non rooted device, but if not, any kind of device will do.

Yes, but it requires having a rooted device and the terminal emulator app. Or you can install TWRP and use the terminal emulator that is built into TWRP.

I have an old rooted samsung phone with android 4.2.2
Is there any sample code on how I can interact with the adbd daemon? In the terminal emulator if I type "adb shell" it says starting daemon but then it says device not found. how would I do some basic stuff (like take a screen shot using "adb shell screencap" for example? Can I interact with it programmatically from java or ndk?

When using terminal emulator, it uses the same commands as adb shell(not the standard adb), but you remove "adb shell" from the commands. For example, in terminal emulator, it is:
reboot recovery
Instead of:
adb reboot recovery
Or
adb shell reboot recovery
Also, before running your commands in terminal emulator, you need to use the su command by typing:
su (then press enter, grant the app superuser/root permissions)
Then you can run the rest of your commands.

Really need some help installing ADB drivers on Windows 7

I'm really having a hard time getting ADB drivers to work on Windows 7 so that I can connect my Android phone to my computer to run some ADB commands. I've tried three different packages; I guess the latest ADB MSI installer and another couple various packages. And I can't get any devices to show up when I type ADB devices. I need something simple if somebody can help treat me like a newbie although I have some experience with Linux and the command prompt but I really need something dead simple that will just install ADB on my computer so I can run a command on my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While plenty of people know adb better than I do, I can try to help you where we need to start at the beginning I think, which is to state that there is nothing to "install" on either Android or Windows, other than the one adb.exe executable on Windows.
However, you do need to enable a few options in Android settings.
With that, you can get Windows to talk to Android over adb as shown in my screenshots below, whether over USB or completely over Wi-Fi.
My first question to you to help you is to ask a basic question.
Q: Did you turn on USB debugging in Developer options?
A: ?​
Yes I have us debugging on on my Android phone. I've installed USB drivers before on an older phone to allow me to use my Android phone for an internet connection on my PC and it was pretty simple and word flawlessly.

Terminal emulator help

For some reason ADB Shell is not working, is there a work around for it? If so what is the command prompts? I'm trying to root and push to a device...
Is Bash a option if so where do I start??
Help a beginner hacker please
USB Debugging isn't properly set up on mentioned Android device, especially the RSA-keys what are necessary to pair PC and Android device didn't get created and stored.
