title: "ROOT: Patching the boot partition (non-US only)"
---
On the Nokia 6300 4G and 8000 4G, although you can use ADB and DevTools to install third-party applications outside KaiStore, you aren't allowed to install apps with 'forbidden' permissions such as `embed-apps`, `embed-widget` and `engmode-extension` (this is defined by the devtools.apps.forbidden-permissions Device Preferences flag). Wallace Toolbox and a number of apps made by BananaHackers depend on those permissions to gain special control of the system, which means you cannot sideload and use them. Most system modifications have also been blocked, and if you were to make any changes, they would be reverted upon next boot.

That is because in order for VoIP in WhatApp to work on newer KaiOS versions, a kernel security module called [SELinux] is now set to Enforcing mode. In this mode, SELinux checks for, and denies any actions, both made by the user and the system, which are not permitted in its preconfigured set of rules. To root, you need to edit the boot partition, set SELinux to Permissive mode, and change certain boot flags to allow system-level debugging access.
