[Q] Making Verizon galaxy s5 linux permissive

[lolatiphones]

Forgive me for asking this question here, as I have seen it in other areas of this site. I'll delete this if you want me to.

I've been looking everywhere on how to change my Verizon s5 to se linux permissive, for use with my app radio. Does anybody know how it's done? The only root I've found so far is for sprint.

Towelroot didn't work even with the app SELinuxModeChanger and su superuser.

Thanks in advance. I'm a newbie here, and have trouble following some of these threads.

Well you see my phone is already rooted, but even with the towel root I cannot get my SE Linux to change to permissive. No matter what I try, it remains enforcing. To get my phone to have touch controls through the app radio, it must be in permissive mode.

Was your suggestion that this root in the thread you posted will change my se linux to permissive mode?

You will not get permissive linux without a unlocked bootloader because a custom kernel needs to be flashed. See this thread for more info. My thread is for returning to stock and root.

Not exactly sure what you're saying, but I think you're overestimating my ability here haha. I read every post in this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...missive-selinux-stock-kernels-t2854364/page10

but it looks like this is an unsolved issue.

Edit: So your saying it's impossible without an unlocked bootloader? Forgive me for my technological ignorance here, but is there not a way to unlock the bootloader?

If so how did this guy get his version to work?

Ok, now I'm seeing it. Verizon and AT&T have shafted us here. So the only way to get our phones to not be enforcing is through an unlocked bootloader which can only be done through verizon with a developer edition. The whole reason I changed to android was for this flexibility and now they're taking it away from us.

App radio unchained apparently allows you to use it with selinix enforcing.
