I want to set the SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) mode to Permissive or (0) on android 4.4.4 (and above if possible). I use the following command: setenforce 0

is always Enforcing
. Now I am exhausted with this problem.
Can any one give me a solution? Thanks in advance.

option is only compiled in-userdebug

builds, so even aside from bootloader locking, you cannot useandroidboot.selinux=permissive
on a-user
build."The way to check what build type you have is:
