Samsung KNOX feature for S4?

I just saw this security app called KNOX on Samsung's site here below and I was wondering if its there or added by default.
I have the GTi9505 S4 version model.
http://www.samsung.com/global/busin...ne/GT-I9505ZNAAMN-features#skipNaviGalaxy4_01
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox
And on the S4 wood-looking box it has the SAFE symbol on it.
Is this ONLY stricly for Government and Enterprise or is available for personal use as well?
On the video below, it does show the KNOX app icon. And I cannot locate it on my phone.

Thanks!

The App is in system settings but i can't manage to run it, but I am able to install it. The interesting thing is that even after install the app isn't showing in App drawer...

Can you please post a print screen? Please?
I would like to see it. Or try it.
I would very much appreciate it.
Went to APP directory and I cannot find this KNOX security APP. Pls help me.

Ahhhhh I got it!!!!!
Found it.
So in order for KNOX to work to set some security standards like setting max. password age and etc....which one of the APK files should I run to install it? Theres 3 APK files on there.
I would also guess, that ones needs a Centralized Mobile Management KNOX Security server in order to run this properly.
Thanks for taking your time with the printscreens.

After clicking on all of those APK KNOX files, I was aksed DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL and I got an error showing that APPLICATION NOT INSTALLED.
I would really wish to have this application running to keep my personal and business data separate from each other.
How can I install KNOX on my phone like the one showing on this videos?

Has anyone been able to figure this out?
I would really like to stop carrying two devices, but my company's IT won't do anything to help me with the "separation of church and state." I am wondering if this option works for an individual.
Thanks!

I know I am bumping, but I saw there 3 bumps and no answer...
I am also trying to understand this, from what I know is:
Lnox is coming also on the Motherboard, no? I mean it has a software side.... so maybe that's why you cannot install just an aps etc
I am not sure, hopefully someone can make this clear.
Thanks

Sorry, I'm having the same issue.

If you have insurance and want to replace your phone and knox Counter has been tripped. Why not just tell them u lost the phone? They'd send u a replacement then you'd have 2!!!

Hi,
I have a new s4 with KitKat, Knox is showing in app menu and when I click on it it asks if I want to install. On the downloading section when flashing however it is listed. I'm worried if I root, will it root or screw the phone? Will it move the Knox counter voiding warranty?

KNOX FREE pre-rooted stock firmware

What does Knox Free mean in pre-rooted firmwares when they also say:
Attention Your KNOX WARRANTY VOID will be set to 0x1!! Think TWICE before flashing!!! ?

It means the built in knox software is removed from the rom.
But it will still void your warranty upon flashing.

So why they don't keep Knox software if warranty will be void any way?

It means

that the App Knox and all related stuff will be removed from the rom. But KNOX has also an efuse (or most people think it is an efuse), which means if it detects a change of the bootloader and the flag goes from 0x0 to 0x1 (which you can see in the recovery mode) in which case you voit the warrant.
At the moment there is no known way to reset this.

So why don't keep Knox software?

Its not the app or software within the rom that triggers the flag, its the change in the bootloader which has to be done in order to root your device. So whether you keep the apps or not, when you root, its over. Im not even sure if knox (the app) can be used after the flag is triggered

Knox warranty status is different to knox software in the rom.
The warranty status changes from 0x0 to 0x1 upon flashing anything in download mode.
The Knox built in software adds complications to things such as rooting and installing/restoring apps not from play store. By removing built in knox apps, these apps work.

So there won't be any complications with flashing custom roms, we'll just lose KNOX and Warranty status? Correct? I have insurance, I'm not too worried about losing the warranty on my device, I just want root and the ability to flash custom roms with bloatware removed.

You don't want the software because it does not play well with apps that require root or with restored apps. It's more of a pain. When I get my n3 I'm Def flashing a rom without knox just because the problems it's been causing on rooted phones.

Does this mean if I restore using Titanium on a rooted phone some of the Apps. wont work?
Also is Knox the reson for the locked Bootloader? or is that completely different?
By flashing a ROM without Knox does this "unlock" the bootloader?

Fox in Sox, sir, this Knox really gets my Box, sir!

You can use titanium but you will have to run a script after to stop the apps from force closing. Someone sent the fix to the app devs do they can fix it. I would really wait until tb has an update that fixes the restore problem.
And knox is a system underneath android that provides security. It doesn't cause the boot loader to be locked but just adds another annoyance after you unlock the bootloader. And in order to flash a rom you need to install a custom recovery which cannot be done on a locked bootloader. Hope I said it clear enough think of knox as a pissed off antivirus that will not let you install and blocks half of the stuff from running properly.

No it will not kill your phone.
That part of knox is an app for security like any other app.
The knox warranty is only visible in download mode.
Some are reporting that there is no Knox flag on the 900 version. Basically the exynos version.
Also if it's a system app from Samsung you cannot delete unless you have root. You can only hide it and uninstall the updates to those apps!

You can root without harming the phone easily but you could void warranty. I am not sure that not having a visible knox counter in N900 means there isn't a hidden one.

[Q] Using MJA (unrooted) and want to use Knox, but can't find it

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use Samsung Knox to set up a container for my work email, but I'm unable to find Knox anywhere in my app drawer. I can see it listed in the Application Manager, but there's no way to launch it.
I'm running the MJA 4.3 update, fully stock, unrooted. This is what my download screen looks like:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE enabled​
On the About device screen, the Software version, Baseband version, and Build number all end in "MJA". The SELinux status is "Enforcing SEPF_SPH-L720_4.3_0010".
Is there something else that I need to do to enable Knox? I've searched the web and can only find screenshots of the Knox app showing up on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I've read plenty of posts saying that Knox is now fully enabled in the 4.3 update, but I haven't found anyone saying that they can't get it to work on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 (just that they want to get rid of it).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as this is the only reason that I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to MJA. My work requires an 8-digit passcode for security and will soon be requiring storage to be fully encrypted, and I'm really tired of having to punch in my code any time I want to use my phone.
Thanks,
-Tony

And here is the Knox app. If you wish to install it.
Please report back if/how that works.

Thank you, leaderbuilder! I was able to get Knox working using the APK that you linked above. I had to enable installation from Unknown sources, download the APK to my phone, and install it. The APK is apparently just a stub to download the full Knox suite (160+ MB). The Knox installation went smoothly and it asked me for a lock timeout period and a password.
Knox works as well as I could have hoped! I can set whatever security I want on my phone (or none), and it only asks me for a password when I want to jump into the Knox container. My only complaint is that I haven't yet figured out a way to use the Google Keyboard in Knox. When I try to type in Knox using the Google Keyboard, my keypresses don't show up. I have to switch inputs to the Samsung Keyboard, and then I can type. I'm guessing Samsung would have to repackage the Google Keyboard as a Knox app and offer it up in their Knox App store that's available inside Knox.
On a side note, I first checked my Device Administrators (referring to the first link you posted above), but the entry for Knox was unchecked and disabled (I couldn't check it). After installing Knox, it's still disabled, but it is checked now:

Glad to hear it worked.
I'm really appreciative of you posting back your results. We need more people to do that to contribute to the community and help out.
I'm sure as more of my clients get the updated firmware on their corporate phones I'll be seeing and doing more of this. Think next week I'll grab a colleagues phone and start messing with it myself. Curious if it'll work on rooted device(s)

Running Sprint Galaxy S4 4.3 Jelly Bean MJA update with CF root access... I've tried the method you posted and at the end of setting Knox up it says "Your device is not authorized to enter Samsung KNOX mode"
Any possible work around for this? Download mode does have Knox tripped 0x1.

You will be waiting along time, knox's purpose is secure phone, and root is to unsecure phone. Knox will never work with root.

Can I revert knox after root?

Hello,
I know that if I root my s8 I will lost knox services, but if I reset my phone to factory can knox be restored too?

never, knox is a literal fuse in your phone, and when it blows, its gone, no way of getting back, EVER

Knox triggers an e-fuse which permanently burns a block in memory which is irreversible

Which phone do you have?
It matters because rooting your phone does not trigger the knox counter at all. Tools like cf auto root flash modified boot images to install root, and it is only that action alone that causes knox to increment.
The north american g95(0|5)(u|w) phones have locked bootloaders making knox increments impossible and they have had root since August of last year.

there are some methods which enable root in a light version! it's just without twrp or custom roms... but still stock rom with root. Sometimes that enough fo some people that only need a certain aspect of being rooted.
but to answer ops question. NO there is not going back unless you have a time machine which u can use and tell ur past self not to root.

False. Modifying boot.img trjggers knox counter. If you root without changing kernel or root filesystem, knox is not triggered. Every single snapdragon based samsung s8 and s7 and note8 and many more, every rooted Samsung with a locked bootloader that is rooted has 0x0 knox counter.
See for yourself.

Please do not spread misinformation. It is difficult enough convincing people who are used to exynos devices that rooting is safe on knox counter with locked bootloader device.

Nothing it was as answer on the head message from the guy that asked how to set Knox to 0x0. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You knox status is still 0x1, you are just running a kernel that ignores it in favor of a fake 0x0. If you flash stock kernel you will see 0x1 again.
Can you run samsung pay? Or secure folder?

Guys, the Snapdragon root method (SamPWND) does NOT trip Knox. But it's a limited root method as I think it uses an eng boot image, and the bootloader is still locked, so you can't flash custom ROMs or anything like that.
But yes, all true root methods do trip Knox. The ROMs may show it as being 0x0, but that's easy to spoof in software. As others have said, boot into Recovery and you'll see the true KNox status which cannot be spoofed
