Is there anyway to remove knox?
Im not talking about the software knox that secure your files...or the warranty knox.
Im talking about the knox that blocks internal communication or special permissions needed in apps like Gamekeyboard, Tincore keymapper or the new GLTOOLS(like Chainfire 3D)
Thanks.
I have disabled all possible knox related services with Package Diabler Pro, with the exception of SMART MANAGER that is necessary gto have battery icon on taskbar, still it seems knox is running in the backgroud: any way to completely disble it? I have no root
Good question. I don´t think that you actually can do that, on newer phones. I had all knox related services I would guess disabled, but KLMS agent is still being reported by eStar as a batt sucker.
Extacly
You must be rooted to do this, without it is impossible.
I believe most people wanted to reset Knox counter because some Samsung app stop working.
Mod kernel to fake knox counter ain't easy isn't it? I didn't see any guide on XDA
I've been thinking for long time, lot of people know how to decompile and mod apk, why not just change the function so Secure Folder can work regardless of knox counter?
I want the secure folder to work so badly but I don't want to use third party apps. We need a hero to post a guide.
I want to root my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530W, version 5.1.) with CF-AutoRoot, but there some apps that I think might ruin the process:
BBC Agent
KLMS Agent
KNOX
KNOX (again)
KNOX II
KNOX SetupWizard Client
KnoxFolderContainer
Container Agent2 ("Not installed for this user")
KnoxKeyguard ("Not installed for this user")
Quick access ("Not installed for this user")
In the Security section of the Smart Manager app, Knox active protection is disabled
Since Knox services stopped last year in December, do I have to worry about it?
Hi,
I just root my s8, but find out I'm not able to use secure folder anymore.
Is there any way that I can use it.
Or do I have to remove the root to use secure folder again.
Many thanks

Generally NO once your phone has been modified you will trip your Knox. Once Knox is tripped you can not use things like secure folder,Shealth, Samsung pay. There is no fix for a tripped knox

Bastards man, why can't they be like they used to with the S5 and below...
Now they just want people to use dumb phones and scare them away from exploring their own devices potential.
Hi,
If you had something, like the pin or password list, in the secure folder, you did the backup before rooting and now restore it, what happens with that list? Is it restored or not? If yes, where?
Thanks!

First, thinking about it, Knox is a bonus. Without Knox you still have access to every function that other Android also have. You can use Google Fit to replace Shealth, Google Pay to Samsung Pay, and Island (by Oasis Feng) or Parallel Space to Secure Folder. Obviously all of these alternatives don't perfectly replace Knox, but there is a reason to root devices lose access to Knox, it's for security. Knox is a subsystem isolated from the rest of the system to store highly confidential information. it's not about you bank data or your nudes, it's to prevent that industrial secrets you could have in your Secure Folder will not be stolen by a malware disguised as a game. There is also a hardware implementation called ARM TrustZone that stores encrypt keys and biometrical data and do security related computing. Remember now that a Root device can be deeply compromised. Normally all we do are tweaks to turn UI better, but you can also change firmware, modify system as you like, etc. To guarantee that your device are safe to store whatever your cautious boss want, Knox could verify every single file of your OS, firmware and beyond, or only verify if a bit have changed from 0x0 to 0x1. That's why they can't be like S5 and below
I'm not here exactly to defend Samsung, only trying to explain why it's works that way (and I'm not an Samsung Employee nor what to spend 3 hours explaining how it's hardware implemented, so what I'm saying is based on my own research)
