Hi!
I was not aware of this issue before I rooted my Galaxy A5 2016. Android 7.0
To unroot it Ii install the latest firmware using Kies but after that I wasn't able to use Knox.
It shows this error when I try to open Knox
"My Knox cannot be installed because unauthorized software has been installed on your device."
Please help me to fix this...
No way to return back.

Hello.
I had rooted my Galaxy S4 (i9505), 4.4.2, without triggering the Knox Flag, using CF-Auto-Root, via Odin. The Flash Counter is now 1, due to flashing something, but Knox is 0x0. Flash counter can be reseted by using Triangle Away,
Hope this helps.

Mind that you have to install BusyBox from Google Play, cause it does not come with it.
Have fun

Thanks to you.Still can not root at the moment fir I9500
Not included - Triangle Away - ! NOT OPERATIONAL ON THE GT-I9500 !
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)

Bear in mind, that I am not 100% sure that it will work on ALL Galaxy S4 devices (I mean not trigger it).
Also bear in mind that OTA (Over the air update) will NOT work, it will return the message "Phone was been personalized."
Although, Kies sees it. Also make sure you don't have Knox mode activated or installed.
LATER EDIT:
I see that Triangle Away is only for the Qualcomm Galaxy S4 (9505). That means that you can't, at this moment, reset the flash counter. There are basically two things to worry about:
- Knox Flag -> as which seems so, I avoided it by installing that CF-Auto-Root on my 9505. I am not sure about avoiding it on 9500, but it should work.
- Flash Counter -> it raises everything you flash something via download mode. If it's 0, in Settings > About Phone > Status >Phone Status, it will return "Original" or something. If it's anything else than 0 (like 1, which I currently have cause I re-flashed root due to some tiny problem), it will return "personalized" or something like it. That will still void warranty IF the phone is sent to warranty like that, but will NOT trigger Knox. Also that will stop OTA Updates from working, but Kies updates will work (for some reason, samsung bug, use it ).
I have no idea how to help you regarding that Flash Counter on the 9500.

Your device was rooted before so you cannot enable knox protection.
Root means game over for knox
Go to download mode you if it says 0x1 then your device was rooted before it's over you cannot enable knox protection anymore.
Previously root kok knox active protection corrupted?
Hi!
I'm trying to go back to stock to try knox features like secure folder. I have restored my device (Spain unbranded) with SmartSwitch and flashing firmware through Odin.
My problem is that Knox and Secure folder says that it can not work because I have installed unauthorized software. SafetyNet passes, on download mode, I see all official, and Apps (like banking apps) works fine without detecting root.
I have warranty void bit = 1. This means that, even flashing again stock firmware, I will never be able to use Knox? I'm worried about using root cloacks methods because of something stops working (for example due an update) I will unable to access to secure folder.
Thanks a lot in advance!

As your knox is tripped already i.e. showing 0×1 so you will never be able to use knox related security features as well as samaung pay on your phone..When knox is tripped once while in rooting or trying any unauthorised software installation, it will never been reset to initial state either by trying to install stock firmware again..

^^That thread has a tutorial on how to get knox features working if your knox was tripped however I don't think it will as secure as it would be if used the knox features without knox being tripped.

I can recommend you flashing ambasadii's ROM. I'm currently using it with the latest SuperStock Kernel and have secure folder fully working. You'll have to download the full 10.1 ROM and the 10.2 OTA which is about 500mb
So rooted my s7 installed superman rom but desided that i no longer wanted to be rooted ..
Reflashed stock firmware
Device says official .. but knox wont open says device has unauthorised sofware
So downloaded ( system repair ) from play store
Device is called - hero2lte
Product is called hero2ltexx
After searching on the net its saying hero2lte is " TWRP "
But when i used odin it factory reset the phone ect
But knox keeps saying unauthorised software .?
Anyone know whats going on ?

By rooting the phone you have tripped the Knox counter which is an e-fuse. There is no way to reset the fuse so Knox will no longer work no matter what ROM you put on the phone, custom or stock. Sorry!!
Not tried by myself but have a look here:
[Guide]Use Samsung Pay and Knox on your Rooted device
[GUIDE] Use Secure Folder, Samsung Knox and S-Health on a Rooted S7E
"Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons."
I use any root check app, but all say that mmobitel isnt rooted.

I put 8.0 Oreo, and trying root today with Samsung Antiroot and Magisk with TWRP, but that failed.
Now i cant use samsung pass.
https://paste.pics/3AE5X
Knox status say: 0x1 :/
https://paste.pics/3AE39
Any possibillity to fix that, i need Samsung Pass quick...
Thanks a lot guy.

Knox cannot be set back to 0x0
I know for that, i search a little bit.
What about SHealt and SamsungPass?
Phone isnt rooted :/
