///
Update:
Pre-req:
Bootloader already unlocked!
adb-tools installed and in your "path"
Google USB-drivers; https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
1) Flashed to stock
Downloaded stock 6.0.1 (M4B30Z, Dec 2016)
https://developers.google.com/android/images#hammerhead
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-m4b30z-factory-625c027b.zip
2) While in "bootloader"-mode ran (on your computer):
.\flash-all.bat
after extracting the stock zip
3) After above has been completed:
Reboot to system - "Start"
<waiting until the system has been installed - Android with open stomach and blue ball spinning - and then multicolored spinning balls>
<this takes quite a while>
4) Go through the initial prompts to get into the actual Android operatingsystem
4.1) Activate "Developer mode" by going to Settings > About phone > Press "Build number" 7 times
4.2) Settings > Developer options > Activate USB-debugging > Always trust this computer > OK
5) On your computer:
adb reboot bootloader
6) Download custom TWRP 3.7.0_9-0;
https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-hh-for-nexus-5-hammerhead-discontinued.4047653/
#https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/
#https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/twrp-3.7.0_9-0-hammerhead.img.html
Even with "minimal" I get error messages without repartitioning.
7) While in the directory where you have downloaded the file above;
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.7.0_9-HH.R.17.img
8) Download Magisk by downloading the APK and renaming the extension to zip;
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
8.1) Push it to your device:
adb push .\Magisk-v27.0.zip /sdcard/Download/
9) Use WSL on Windows or a Linux VM and follow these instructions:
https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/building-nethunter/
I used the command;
python3 ./build.py -d hammerhead -n -fs minimal
to build a "minimal" build for Nexus 5 (hammerhead) since I received error(s) with trying to install the "full";
"Unpacking the installer...
Error: Unable to extract! The zip may be corrupt or your device may not have enough RAM to proceed.
Consider using a smaller installer if it is available.

Cleaning Up...
Failed to install Kali Nethunter!
Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/nethunter-2024.2-hammerhead-nougat-kalifs-full.zip'
9.1) Push the .zip to your device, your filename for the zip will be different;
adb push .\nethunter-20240703_203613-hammerhead-nougat-kalifs-minimal.zip /sdcard/Download/
9.2) In TWRP > Advanced > Terminal > "hh_repart -m"
9.3) For some reason I needed to enter fastboot again and re-flash the custom TWRP;
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.7.0_9-HH.R.17.img
10) In TWRP > Install > Magisk
# The official instructions say to format the data-partition in step 6 but then the installer complains about the data-partition being empty;
https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/installing-nethunter/#6-flashing-universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-disabler
11) In TWRP > Install > Nethunter
12) Rebooting to system even though it says "No OS detected" or similar, log for the installation of Nethunter seems to have gone OK, no errors
