How to uninstall Knox on Galaxy note 3

I want to sign in to Knox to uninstall it, when I put my password and click OK it takes me out of Knox and then it says that my device is not authorized to use Knox. Is it because my phone is rooted?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefugugitive87:
Remove Knox system apps

Has anyone confirmed yet that deleting the Knox system apps does not void warranty(0x1) or have any negative effects?

/system/app/KNOXStub.apk

/system/app/KNOXAgent.apk

/system/app/KNOXStore.apk

/system/app/KnoxAttestationAgent.apk

/system/app/KLMSAgent.apk

/system/app/ContainerAgent.apk

EDIT: Confirmed Knox counter was not tripped
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Official_Noob:
Wait A Second...

Am I missing something here?

You mean that you have to install Knox (The icon that I tap on that says that this might incur additional charges from your carrier) in order to uninstall it?

If I uninstall it, will that get rid of it showing up in the 'All Apps' list?

I never installed it, but I still am getting the notifications that for all intents and purposes Samsung security has blocked the action of everything from Mobile Odin to Ultimate Sound Control.

And why would I want to install an app that does away with that notification and not doing away with (Totally disabling) Knox or totally uninstalling it?

That's kinda like putting a doily over the cigarette burn on your sofa.

I've been on XDA for hours looking for a solution (using the lousy XDA search engine) and these threads seem to just die on the vine with no solutions.

The "file explorers" or "root explorers" are caused to just lock up when trying to remove the files mentioned above and have no effect whatsoever while requiring a reboot.

If it's still in the System, then it's not uninstalled.

I finally got root, and did a search, and deleted everything that says "Knox".

One more thing...

"Deleting" is not "Uninstalling"... until you can't find any reference to it in any system files, and I can't.

Samsung KNOX removal

Hi all, My last post was a long time ago... but ill tell you how I have done it,

I just successfully removed KNOX using *titanium backup pro* while running samsung 4.3 rooted with Kingo Android Root. And then, I used Triangle away to reset knox warranty void 0x1 to 0x0 and unofficial to official and it worked just fine. Till the moment when I disconnected from Wifi to try data connectivity and problems happened, cant connect to Mobile Data anymore like no more 3g / 4g / LTE. The .APN got reset. Then I set it back and got a very poor network down speed like 1.85Mbs and 750kbs up.

I had to unbrick my device. And still working on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
Knox itself is not a bad idea, if I ever decided to use my phone for banking or as a credit card, secure container would be the way to go. But Samsung's implementation is just wrong and frankly refusing any warranty repairs due to Knox flag should be straight up illegal, unless proven the software modifications that tripped the flag caused the phone to malfunction and repairs.

What do we know so far? It's all software, uses 128 bit encryption, probably does not use e-fuses for flags, as originally feared and it can be installed on phones made before Knox was announced, so most likely doesn't require some Knox specific hardware.

I would think wiping the phone clean and then load firmware that doesn't have Knox would be the way to go for older phones, like GS3. On the other hand finding Note 3 firmware that doesn't have traces of Knox could be a challenge, me think. Do we know where Knox certificates are? What do we know about inner workings of Knox? Without that we can't do much unless we find something by pure accident.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Is your phone a Note 3? As far as I know, there is still no way ( yet ) to revert knox warranty void 0 X 1 to 0 X 0 on a note 3. I read somewhere though that it's possible to roll back knox warranty to 0 X 0 on a Note 2 by flashing a 4.2 rom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yolav:
To answer your question quickly, my phone isn't the note 3 as you can see on this post. But if I can help you somehow, I will :thumbup:

There is a way to manually remove the KNOX bootloader from the Samsung 4.3 firmware update using a Linux terminaI. But still, the phone must not be already running/updated on/to 4.3

There is instructions on Galaxy S4 Mini Archive website. Process may be different but still similar.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
I for one would be very interested in reading this instruction although I would think that Note 3 is way different than S4/mini for it to work otherwise somebody would have already claim the almost $3000 bounty in rolling back knox to 0x0. Nevertheless no harm done if I should try it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uknowmyid:
there's a really simple way :: follow along my Friend.First, you do our bro's at XDA recommend about how to flash the right files,then right where you see the start up screen,first thing you wanna do is to go to APP MANAGER\ALL\ and disable all the d%mn knox apps. Once you do that ,go to play store and update your Super Su. Finally when the update is done open supersu and follow the prompts and on your way u;ll come across the option to disable knox..

hope that helped...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edo101:
Lets say that I was to buy a Note 3 right now, with the stock ROM, does it come with Knox preinstalled? If it does has anyone yet found a way to take it out without bricking their phones?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whfissler:
Working on my father's 100% stock S4

I wanted to post the screen shots I took while going through this process, but no embedded images are allowed :( (not going through the process of giving one a url)... anyhow...

When going through the process of uninstalling KNOX, the first dialogue box that appears specifically states: "Samsung KNOX will be uninstalled. All of its data and applications will be erased."

However, none of that is true, at least in my case (I will not speculate details of anyone else's device). The only inconveniences I can find surrounding KNOX is depreciated battery life and multiple daily notifications of application block attempts (when not installed, can't comment on post-install).

My advice: Revert to the previous version of Android, flash one of the awesome ROMs found here at XDA and move on with your life...

Unable to remove knox

Guys, I have note 2 GT-N7100 ANDROID 4.3 and tried to root it with odin v3.09. But unfortunately, there was some problem due to knox. When i tried to open SuperSU, it said no binaries installed and in notification bar it came 'unauthorised access by supersu, etc...'. Then i tried to re-root by same method, and tried to open supersu 'unfortunately supersu stopped'. Now, the problem is I'm unable to remove knox because of which all of this is occurring and also the phone is not rooted properly. Im unable to get root rights for any app.

Hello, everyone.

My PC's hard drive is fried and all I have is my sidearm Chromebook which I've hacked to run Ubuntu Linux.

That being said, I need a quick rundown on how to set up the ADB so I can push things to my phone, as well as how to use Terminal in order to do so.

I figure since Android is Linux-based, this shouldn't prove to be a very difficult thing to do.

I just need the relevant Terminal commands and what I need to download, because I need to do some hacking on my phone.

Hi Guys/Gals

My I-mate PDA2k has recently started switching itself off for no apparent reason, nothing has been installed recently and the battery seems fine.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a nice solution or is my PDA dying?

Thanks everyone

What ROM version etc. are you using ?

I use i-Mate's 1.40.176 WWE and Radio version 1.13 and actually experienced something similar.

I found that in my case the recently installed Broadcom 1.6 BT stack/upgrade (CAB file: PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate) had something to do with it.

Since installing it I had regular unexpected shutdowns whilst using BT and OziExplorer despite having the 'no shutdown' option in OziExplorer ticked.

I did a hardreset, reinstalled everything as before but without the BT stack and everything works perfectly (again) now.

I am also using the I-mate 1.40.176 WWE and Radio version 1.13 but I haven't installed the Broadcom 1.6 BT stack/upgrade.

I have recently done a hard reset (not by choice) as the PDA2k screen went blank, I pressed the standby button believing it to be in powersave mode but it wiped everything!!, even after that I have had problems but I have replaced the original battery now as I was using a huge one that I bought from www.proporta.com.

We'll see if this does any better, watch this space...

I had this problem

I had this screen gap problem too with my white note3.

brought it into store for exchange. they said it is just how manufacture works and cannot be considered as defective.

I guess it's just normal. really annoying to clean the dust reguarly though
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techman7:
I personally thought it was normal to have a gap between the screen and the bezel/plastic frame.

But curiosity has led me to call Samsung to clear up any doubts about this issue.

I called Samsung twice just to get a second opinion, and both reps told me that there should be absolutely NO GAPS between the screen and the bezel.

I even described the gap as "slight, and barely noticeable, however it is apparent under direct sunlight, and unfortunately dust may collect".

STILL.. both reps confirmed that there should be no gap, and instructed to take the device back to the store of purchase.

So in conclusion;

According to SAMSUNG, the GAP is a manufacture DEFECT! If you don't believe me, try calling SAMSUNG and ask.

Personally, I am not returning my phone because of this, just because it is simply not big enough of an issue to worth my time lol

Hope this helps guys!

The gap problem is really subjective.

when I asked for the exchange, the manager and assistants in the store said they see no gap, but you see there is obviously dust filling up the gap!!

I got really frustrated, but had to leave the store since the arguing became pointless when manager said she doesn't see the gap.

I thought I was too sensitive at that point, but then I saw this thread lol

Sorry to hear that. DId you buy your phone from an independent shop or from corporate cellphone provider? Usually corporate stores will let you exchange the phone within their exchange policy.

There might be a solution if you are willing to spend a bit of money. Spigen Glass tR Slim Tempered Glass may be able to cover the gap if you place it right.

I'd suggest cleaning the gap so that it is free of dust before you apply the glass over the gap.

By no means am I getting paid by Spigen, nor am I in any way affiliated with them. I am simply just offering a friendly advice to solve your problem.

In any case, I ordered mine, and will apply it and let you know how it goes for me.
