The main purpose of this script is to use ditycow exploit to modify the boot.img and set selinux to permissive, that's not happening as the locked bootloader revert that change on boot so is not working
At what point did I ever say I was using Recowvery to gain root? I specifically said "my exploit". And again, you're wrong. Dirtycow has nothing to do with a locked bootloader. Which doesn't have dick to do with selinux. A locked bootloader just checks incoming sigs on zips, it does NOT check the integrity of your system partition. Dm-verity does. Which I've already disabled. If you want proof that I can modify system files, here's my build.prop acquired via 'cat /system/build.prop on a Z981 B14.

So may I ask why were SapphireEx and Sapphiress's Android Forums accounts turned into 'Guest' accounts? Those two seemed to be the closest to getting us root. Now without them we are back to square one and this thread has turned into a ghost town again...

They voluntarily asked to be deleted and moved everything to discord. They are in fact still making progress (more than I thought possible) and said they will release it when ready. This thread isn't so much dead as it is more in the realm of Suspended until further notice. No insults or snide comments will be tolerated as per @LV426 mentioned

Thanks @bcrichster and @LV426 for the answering my question. At least the rest of us who aren't a part of the Discord conversation know what's going on now and we are not out of the loop anymore. So what are they waiting for, Christmas? Let's hope so! ;)

Believe me, we'd love to see someone crack root on this phone. Unfortunately the people who had the best chance of achieving it have now gone bye bye. And that is purely because of certain idiotic comments and arguments. Sad really, that people can't work together, and help each other, instead of knocking down the achievements of others.
