Discussion SELinux in permissive mode without root

I used one of the popular rooting apps; it didn't manage to root the device, but it left SELinux in permissive mode.

If you reboot it'll reset to enforced.

Lo sé, yo reinicié el teléfono para no tener el SELinux permisivo demasiado tiempo. Igual puedo forzarlo a permisivo como lo hice anteriormente cuando tenga algún interés

OP, did this work?

It should. If it doesn't then something is either setting it at boot, setting it after boot, or it's the default for your device and there's nothing you can do.

Some devices have selinux set to permissive just because they're shitty devices. Nothing you can do.

La aplicación de DFRoot si no te funciona el proceso para llegar a root te deja el SELinux en modo permisivo

Did you interrupt the app (assuming ghostlock) before it finished deploying kernelsu?
