PENT.SHOP BUYING GUIDE / UPDATED 12 SEPTEMBER 2026
NetHunter phones in the UK: Full, Lite and Rootless
Choose the NetHunter edition before you choose the handset. Buy a prepared phone with the hardware included or arrange preparation for a device you already own.
Three editions, different hardware access
Kali documents Rootless for unrooted Android, Lite for rooted Android, and Full NetHunter for supported devices with a matching custom kernel. Rootless and Lite do not promise the kernel-specific USB and wireless features of Full.
| Edition | Starting point | What to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Rootless | Unrooted Android | A portable Linux learning environment |
| Lite | Eligible rooted Android | Rooted preparation without a NetHunter-specific kernel |
| Full | Source-listed device, ROM and kernel | Specific kernel and peripheral requirements |
All Full-kernel device modules, in one catalogue
Our device catalogue includes all 123 modules and 270 kernel variants in Kali’s registry snapshot checked on 12 September 2026. Each device page shows the ROM, Android version and kernel records. Some refer to older Android releases. Source-listed compatibility and a current security patch are separate facts.
We can root and prepare your device
The £149 Full preparation service is for a customer-owned eligible device. NetHunter Lite preparation is £89. A handset is not included in either service. Send the exact model, Android version and intended use; we agree the build before work begins. If the agreed eligible configuration cannot be prepared, the service is refunded.
Choosing a supplied handset
Choose from 57 prepared Full NetHunter phone variants or 70 rooted handset ranges with 901 options for Lite, eligible ANDRAX-NG or StrykerOSS. A rooted app bundle includes the selected handset price plus £39 for one platform setup. Compare storage, condition, colour and included accessories, then choose the exact variant and app in the cart.

Plan the complete connection
List the features you need and the accessories you will attach. A rooted app, an external Wi-Fi adapter and a working USB gadget mode each depend on different parts of the setup. Ask for the complete combination, including cable and power arrangement, to be checked.
