It's important to note that installing Kali NetHunter on a non-supported phone may not provide the same level of stability and functionality as on officially supported devices. Additionally, it can void your device warranty and may introduce security risks if not done correctly.

If you decide to proceed with installing Kali NetHunter on a non-supported phone, it's crucial to follow detailed instructions and guides specific to your device and the version of Kali NetHunter you wish to install. Always ensure that you understand the risks involved and take appropriate precautions.
