[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Guys Knox is not an app. It's a security protocol that keeps your information private and also your activity. Anything done in Knox, stays in Knox. Once it's activated it's on and monitors your security.

Here's some more information on how it works.... http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox

At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro

mine don't work either
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koars215:
[MENTION=4613660]Jammol[/MENTION] your wrong on the the other company's such as sprint there is an/a app on the home screen that allows you to place things inside the container and also Knox have its own store with supported apps. I was on the phone with Samsung advanced tech support and they were scratching their head on why it isn't installed on the device but it is found in the installation manager
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
I said its not an app because I don't classify it as one. Yes its a container, an environment, an app.

At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
All variants have this Knox app that switches environments, but not at&t and thats what we are asking: Where is it?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koars215:
I will keep you guys updated this will be round 2 with advance tech support (samsung+att)... My guess is if others are having this problem that they will end up pushing a update that fixes this problem. My buddy got the Note 3 for sprint and i saw that its visible from the home screen and had to download the knox store onto the note 3. When i later got my note 3 from att that was the first app i looked for and i wasn't available.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
I can't totally agree with that. Simply activating it as an administrator does nothing.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farley1:
Any luck?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
No luck here I've been trying as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
Im starting to think its not a bug but rather an at&t "thing" :mad::mad:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
That's very possible as well.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Hence why I said it's an environment. We are the only ones with locked bootloader. They probably hit. They also probably had it activated by default and what we currently "see" is inside knox.

That's why I said it's not an "app". I don't think it's on, I think it's already on.

At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
The whole point of Knox is for the user to have the ability of switching "environments" one for personal and other for private or business. If thats true what you are saying then that defeats the whole purpose.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Yeah I know. That's only logical thing I see because we are the only ones with locked bootloader and the only ones without knox "app" itself.

To me we don't have a choice. I think we are already inside knox environment.

Here's one way to know. Are we the only variant that has SELINUX:enforcing?

At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
Good point. Im assuming everybody else is permissive.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0hnoes:
In the same boat. Just had support chats with both att and samsung. Att said it's a Samsung app and I should talk to them. Samsung said it should be there and they don't know why it's not. Very frustrating.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmbneaf:
Have any of you tried going to Settings -> General Tab -> Security -> Device Administrators and activating Knox as a device administrator?

Doesn't seem to turn on an application; but, sort of validates that it is there.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
Yes we are aware of that.

NEWS

Good news ALL!!!

after days on days of speaking with att and samsung... corporate finally spilled the beans lol this is coming from samsung mouth the agent told me that att push the device for purchased and did not look over the software in full before putting it on the shelf. They said the reason we can see the knox app in the installation manager is because by default it should be. Also its something that cant be found on its samsung app market place.

END RESULT: Samsung said within the next 1-2 weeks it will push a software update for At&t and t-mobile(i had no clue t-mobile was having the same issue)

so after numerous messages to knox support messages to at&t and then finally samsung thats the answer so we will wait and see
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
Great news indeed. BUT... we have to be careful about these OTA updates coming at&t especially now that we have root access. ;)

How is Knox working
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msm903:
So I thought it was my Root giving it issues.. but it worked after reflashing toi Mi9 and rooting. However if I use Xposed it breaks Knox and force closes all over the place. I guess it needs Samsung's exact framework to work.

Hey GUys..new to this and have a couple quesiton....

1..can you install this on rooted att note 3?

2...Why would i want too?

3..what would it do for me/??

Sorry for newbi questions...read articles about it but still dont get it.....will it enhance security for my device also??thanks for anyones help......
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
1. Yes you can but since you are rooted you might have some apps FC

2. If you intend to use to profiles. One secured with a password and the normal profile

3. Privacy!?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinandroid:
Hey first i want to say thanks for answering questions....

1)if i install app and do have apps FC...is there a fix for those apps not to FC???

2)when you say profile...i am assuming you mean two people using device..correct or not?? if so, i am only one planning on using this phone so would i benifit from this app...

3)do you know what kind of security...

Like i said knew to this and thanks alot for all your help....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
1. I was faced with these FC issues and unfortunately I had to reset to get rid of Knox since i was rooted.

2. The idea behind Knox to use your own personal everyday profile and use KNox. Knox only operates a limited set of secure apps. like email and servers.... You dont have Play store just Knox apps store to choose from. Its like a corporate profile just business and secure from other play store junky apps.

3. for example all emails, pics and messages on Knox profile wont be visible on your normal profile. Get the drift?! :confused:

To me its pointless since there are many apps that provide such privacy

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R_Andersen:
Do you think installing and setting up the knox app on a rooted AT&T or Verizon Note 3 would cause the knox flag to be triggered thus voiding the warranty?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwood:
This work for me also, thanks for the information!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daraj:
There shouldn't be any reason for the Knox flag to be triggered simply because you are not flashing anything. But, as mentioned above, installing Knox on a rooted phone will cause some FCs.

Please proceed at your own risk.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazman325:
Lots of FCs (rooted/Xpose). Installed before all of the posts above. I do something stupid like this with every new device I get.

Debating between reflashing MI9 or full wipe from Recovery. Opinions?

I just started using TiBu PRO. Backups went well. Anything I should be aware of when restoring? I'm used to using Nandroid Recovery. Stupid bootloader!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matale0:
mine says "Your device is not authorized to enter Samsung KNOX mode"

why is that?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazman325:
It's the voice of a Higher Being telling you that Knox is poison for your device.

Stay away from it. I have spent over 10 hours trying to correct this Knox install with Xpose installed. Nothing but a FC bootloop for 2 hours. TiBu PRO will not restore either. The Knox that was originally installed keeps blocking the system restore. Finally was able to wipe from recovery and then install TiBu PRO and freeze all 3 Knox apks. That took care of the bootloop problem when trying to restore. However, it seems that the original Knox corrupted the backup as it was backing up and now I am spending countless hours installing my apps from Play one at a time and recreating all of the data again.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT INSTALL THIS KNOX APK UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED IT!!!

Before I get flamed for ignoring the above warnings...I did this install before anyone posted any warnings. Knox is not worth the trouble I am going through right now. Consider yourself warned.

hi

Anyone got Knoxs working on Samsung S5 G900F :confused:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j101399j:
Just in case anyone asks,

I have the official 4.4.2 NC2 Kit Kat (100% stock and unrooted) and just installed the KNOX sub apk, and it is working perfectly. So far no issues. I am now a manager at my work and needed an extra level of security, plus I want to keep my work stuff separate from my personal stuff, Knox works perfectly.

It did not wipe anything or crash, but I recommend for anyone going to install this to do a full internal and external sdcard backup, you never know (knock on wood). Also if for some reason you get stuck in know and cannot get out no matter what (and cannot uninstall the knox app) as this happened on my wife's S4; reboot into safe mode. It will disable all non-system apps. This will let you backup your internal sdcard, just incase you need to do a factory reset.

Turn off the device.

Press and hold the Power/Lock key and volume key to turn the phone one.

Once the device turns on, let of of the power button, but keep holding the volume down button

Keep holding the Volume down key until the lock screen displays and says "Safe Mode" in the bottom left corner.

Reboot the phone and you should be able to be back to normal.

Two Years Too Late?

After the Android Kitkat 4.4.4 Update happened, I also had the same issue. NO KNOX CONTAINER/APP. They swore to bring it back in Lollipop, and they didn't. NOT ONLY do I NOT HAVE KNOX, I also don't have a functioning phone anymore. Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V (Verizon) on 5.0 is just a battery draining, data stealing, freezing/overheating brick now. Had to resort to an older phone (5 year old) in order to have a device to text with for more than 3 hours. It's that horrible. And what do they say? Just like Comcast it's ALWAYS "We're so sorry! It's Verizon's fault/Samsung's fault" depending on which side of the circle jerk you're talking to. They also promised me (they being Verizon Agents) several times that they're working on a resolution. I shouldn't have to root my device in order to regain a function I previously had before they ****ed all this up. But if I choose to root my phone in order to restore Knox function, would this APK also function on the Broke Ass Verizon Version?

Anyone else having MAJOR issues on the Galaxy Note 3 on 5.0?

How-to for flashing **stock** kernel with CWM/TWRP without Flashtool on locked bootloader.

By using this way you don't need to use stripped ftf.

Of course you can't flash custom kernel with locked bootloader, we can flash only stock kernel.

[EDIT]

Added instruction for rpm

1. Extract kernel.sin and rpm.sin from ftf and open Flashtool

2. Go to "Sin Editor", select kernel.sin and click "Extract data"

Do same for rpm.sin

3. Download View attachment 2302498 (this zip only contains lines for kernel.elf) or add this lines to your updater-script:

package_extract_file("kernel.elf", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");
package_extract_file("rpm.elf","/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm");

4. Add kernel.elf and rpm.sin to root of zip

5. You can flash it with CWM/TWRP now.
[Xperia Z General] Vennesch:
Nice. But we still need an unlocked bootloader right?
[Xperia Z General] MR.Samo:
All custom kernels needs unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z General] njckjen:
Is that possible flash kernel via Cwm. cuz i read somewhere xperia device cannot do this.

I want to flash a custom kernel go along with Rom, on my Arc, but dont want to use flashtool/fastboot all the time.

how to do with .img? change .img => .elf is the way?

i'll try and report.
[Xperia Z General] eryen:
We are talking here about xperia z. For arc you have to find boot.img partition adress.

I will take a look at my moms arc later for proper address.
[Xperia Z General] njckjen:
tks for letting me know this. im looking for the path like your's but nothing like boot.img address is there. maybe my old device doesnt have this partition as many people said.

never mind :)) its fine with using flashtool.
[Xperia Z General] dr_hakam2:
:good:

Does it work with any device ? I mean that if (cwm_flash_kernel.zip) is for Xperia Z only or for any device :o:o
[Xperia Z General] njckjen:
see the code at step 3. if you can find your device boot patition like this, then u can try to know if it works.

What about stock kernel for locked bootloader does it work?
[Xperia Z General] XperiaFanZ:
Yesterday i flash my xperia z kernel with a locked bootloader, now my wifi is not working neither my sd card is recognized. :(
[Xperia Z General] totzkitotz:
you should have an unlock bootloader first sir...jsut reflash it to a stock kernel sir..
[Xperia Z General] ZakooZ:
You can flash kernels with any bootloader status

When booting the kernel, the phone checks if it's an official sony kernel or not (because sony encrypts kernels using a private key, while custom kernel devs only have a public key). If the bootloader is locked and the kernel is not signed by sony, the phone refuses to boot and is basically bricked (don't know if you can unbrick it with flashtool)

So, you can flash the stock kernel through CWM, but i'd probably just advise to flash with flashtool... Because you might accidentally flash a custom kernel and brick the phone
[Xperia Z General] Freetechware:
