Sorry if this is a stupid question. But i was thinking because if it can boot from a usb stick, maybe it can boot from an sd card with a locked bootloader.
You need a custom kernel, so yes.
When i got multirom on my nexus 5 i don't remember it needing a custom kernel. Or does it automatically flash it when you install multirom through the mulirom manager?

It needs a custom kernel with kexec-hardboot enabled. I'm 99% sure that no stock kernels on any device come with that already enabled. You need to install either Andro-Plus (4.4.x) or M5 (5.0.x) kernel prior to the whole installation through miltiROM manager. All the multiROM manager does is download the multiROM installer and the modified TWRP recovery for installing secondary ROMs.

No way for you to use miltiROM then I'm afraid mate. Carries suck with locking the bootloader.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi 3s and I would like to have selinux to permissive on boot. I have systemless root so the command
To make root work on boot seems to be a bit different.
I tried using kernel auditor but that doesn't seem to work.
I just noticed that my kenzo bypasses safetynet on lineage os 15.1 20180323 build by lokmansiu. I can install Netflix from playstore, run super Mario run and pokemon go without any problems, also tested on safetynet test app. But I cant understand how is this possible provided I didnt even install magisk.
though I have not rooted the rom,
my bootloader is locked(used edl mode to flash twrp and then the rom)
can anyone plz tell if this is even normal??

No root = no problem.
You only fail SafetyNet if you use SuperSU to root your phone or forget to use Magisk Hide when rooting using Magisk.
SafetyNet also fails if you use Xposed Framework

But i always use custom ROMs without root and still the safetynet test still always failed
The only difference between this and previous scenario is that my bootloader is locked and the selinux in this ROM is hopefully enforcing...are they the reason?
how did you install twrp in edl mode with bootloader locked?

Follow the instruction from this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xExKvog5RP4
Tip: You can install twrp version of your choice. Just download twrp of your choice and rename it to recovery.img and place it in TWRP_ZCX/images folder (delete existing recovery.img file inside the image folder).
This method doesnot unlock the bootloader.

I don't know why but it didn't work for me. Still uncertified.
I recommend you flash Magisk to enable root access. Then use it with its "hide detection" feature (it is the default setting). It will mask your root access and unlocked bootloader from SafetyNet detection. Have a try.

Because selinux is finally set as enforcing. Probably next updates of other roms will be enforcing too

Because new build comes with selinux = enforcing
That means you are good to go
If that is permissive then you'll get error in bypassing safety net without magisk.
May I ask if use this method and later on want to revert back to a completely stock Miui ROM how do I do that on my kenzo device. Do I just use the mi flash tool and flash the original stock ROM back?
Pretty self explanatory; Looking for a way to install Dolby on a phone with SELinux enforcing and no root. On a beta Oreo build and can't root it yet. On top of no root, it has a locked bootloader (not unlockable)
I do however, have a debug recovery, so I can run adb as root. So I can push files.
It may not have been done yet, but any ideas? I know it worked on Nougat. Any help is appreciated!
Lets say I have a rooted device with Magisk installed and a custom kernel like ElementalX with stock ROM
What is the process of taking a OTA update without loosing data
Correct me if I am wrong or if there is a faster way
I install the boot I backed up before installing ElementalX
Uninstall Magisk, download OTA, install Magisk to "inactive slot"
Boot up
Install new version of ElementalX
Are there any other steps or things I need to know before I do that?
