I found how to delete Knox. Open Knox, hit your settings button, and choose "About Knox". There is an Uninstall option there. That got rid of mine! I am running a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android version 4.3.
Hope this helps!!

Bear in mind, everyone, this ONLY deletes the Knox related apps and security settings within the ROM.
It does NOT delete the Knox security in the bootloader and the Knox flag showing the phone has been altered will still be present.
This is a good sollution to removing the security if you don't need it, but will not help with warranty purposes.

I've noticed that there's been some discussion about the new knox bootloader in regards to rooting our device. Now, when I boot my I9505 into download mode I get this wall of text in the upper left corner telling me "knox warranty void 0x1 blah blah" and likewise when I boot into recovery captain obvious knox pops up in the corner reminding me that I'm running a custom recovery.
Now that I have rooted my tablet and flashed TWRP via Odin I have yet to see a single sign of that infamous knox flag. Download mode - nothing, recovery boot - nothing... nothing except my settings telling me my device status is custom, and even that can be spoofed via Wanam Xposed.
Am I missing something or is the knox bootloader simply not present in my firmware version? (XXUBMJ6 NEE/nordic countries)
Also, has anyone had success using TriangleAway on the P600 to reset the flash counter? Not that I currently need it, just curious..

hi. I want to know how you flashed TWRP for P600 as i cant find the file anywhere on the internet. . I rooted it using a stock recovery. I froze the knoxx apps as they were interfering with my root and giving notifications on a security threat. Please any help with TWRP i cant find it.

There is a big discussion about this in a german forum is use:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/samsung-gala...278-anleitung-root-fuer-note-10-1-2014-a.html
It's weird that the p600 does not have the same download mode display as the p605. It says nothing about knox on the p600 download mode. So the guys on the other forum are confident that triangle away should work to reset the counter on p600 because it's not a knox flag. But as far as I know Triangle Away does not support the note 10.1 2014 yet. So I guess we have to wait and see

Strange, strange... because first I got this. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538464
But now the text in the left corner is missing. Maybe because I use the wanam tweck? This means that there is - maybe - no hardware flag
PS. Also when I open the system update in the settings, I didn't get any longer a warning that the update is blocked?! I got it in the beginning...

Thanks for the reply and the link.
A "warranty void etc." message has popped up in download mode as of now but you're right, it says nothing about knox whatsoever, and the strange part is is that it didn't appear until I actually flashed a mod via recovery and wiped cache/dalvik. Before that there was no message in the corner, even though I had already flashed cf-root and TWRP via Odin.

Same here. Even though there were no updates available at the time I last checked I got no warning message.
Maybe the P600 just has less security implementations than the other versions for whatever reason...
''Knox warranty void 0x1'' is the KNOX FLAG. It means that you cannot use the secure Knox container, and you will not get OTA update. Of course you can download and install new software updates.

Yes, but it does not say anything about "KNOX" or "0x1" when I enter Download Mode. I should also correct what I said in my previous post. It doesn't say "Warranty Void" but rather "Warranty Bit: 1".
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-P600
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
WARRANTY BIT: 1
This is identical to how it used to be on the old 4.2.2 non-knox bootloaders and it's NOT the Knox flag. It's the binary counter.

I have SM-P605. I think Knox bootloader is present from 4.3 onward. If SM-P600 has Knox app in the apps drawer and Knox security apps under Application manager then it's likely to have a Knox bootloader Tripping the Knox flag means the Knox container can never be accessed or used again but the phone/tablet itself is OK for regular use. I have not come across a phone/tablet with Knox apps and non-Knox bootloader.
Knox has been mentioned in this SM-P600 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618509

Whether a Knox bootloader is present in the P600 or not, then at least the flag is not visible in download mode or during boot. Either way I'm satisfied as long as I don't have to be reminded every day that my tablet is running an unofficial kernel and recovery.

Hello guys! I recently bought this tab and needing the root I read some guides and knox showed up, so I read other threads on knox. I went on the app drawer and into the samsung folder and then I opened up the knox app and that's what I saw. So I'm confused, is knox intended to be already installed on the device or not? Can I root doing nothing about knox? Sorry I had to take a photo, it didn't let me take a screen.

Knox is installed on all devices. If you don't use it and you are a root user you can get rid of it. Download:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
It lets you uninstall system apps such as knox then it should be gone

Nope I don't use it and I'm not a su and really don't want to root with odin. But if it could solve some annoying issues I cold think about it.. for example when I use my lg p500 or an ipad 4th gen as hotspot wifi, the p605 doesn't see anything. Touch after wake up is laggy for a few seconds. When I start an app there is a 60% of probability that it crash.

Just remember, rooting will trip Knox warranty void thus voiding your warranty...
Seems funny you're having trouble with the apps though. I don't have too much trouble, most things work unless you're using ancient apps from doughnut days...
Ok, having read various references to Knox here in the forums I thought I go and look for it on my tab as I've not seen it.
Thing is, although I can find it in the "all" section of the application manager I can't actually work out how to run it?
There is no icon on the apps page and in the manager section it is not disabled or hidden
Unit is the 10.5, wi-fi only model. Bought in Best-Buy but now in the UK.
Any ideas?
I have Galaxy Tab S 10.5 WiFi (SM-T800, Exynos) with newest soft and I don't have Knox application too.
Only reference to Knox in my device is "Knox Warranty Void 0" text in download mode.
Also in "Galaxy Apps" (Samsung Store) there's no Knox app to download and install.
When I had Samsung Galaxy S4 there was Knox application in main menu.
Maybe Knox application will be introduced in later software versions.
I understand it to be an IT administrative installed app. It supports the new "bring your own device" fad. The admin installs it and provides a knox workspace that will use your enterprise credentials to access the secured whatever.

Thanks for the replies.
Thing is though there are 4 Knox applications on the unit and Samsung Knox is advertised as a feature on the unit on their websites?

Hello, after a search on these forums I could not find any topic about my specific problem so here goes.
I purchased a secondhand P605.
When I checked the Knox trigger it said 0x1, which made me wonder if anyone tried to root it before. It is not rooted at the moment, and I am unable to root it because Knox prevents it. I did update it to Lollipop.
So, I took to the Web and tried to disable Knox. This seems impossible, due to the fact that I don't even have permission to enter the Knox container!
Does anyone have any idea how to disable Knox when one doesn't have access to Knox at all?
Thanks in advance.

If you updated to 5.1.1 then you need a modded kernel to root. Install TWRP, then flash new kernel and then flash supersu.
Your P605has definitely been modified either with a kernel or recovery, that's why you have Knox trigger 0x1.
Will try that , thank you.
I'd love to hear if any developer here would modify a kernel or make a custom ROM that makes Knox apps to work (at least Secure Folder and Samsung Pass). Thanks in advance!

Your guarantee is now void.
There is no other way for this phone, sadly.
