But there are some posts saying that can reset knox but cant find the program
The knox counter, once tripped, cannot be reset, not even by Samsung.
Simplest way is to flash one of our excellent ROMS such as Unity or Dynamic Kat. They have removed Knox altogether, amongst other improvements.
Of course, read everything you can first, and follow directions carefully. As you can plainly see, even following directions can get one into trouble.
I'm curious as too how you managed to trip the knox counter ???
That has proven to be very difficult on a device with a locked and encrypted bootloader...
Are you using an ATT device ??

Hey everyone,
I've been playing around with my AT&T S6 Edge so much that I flashed over the stock firmware and was forced to use odin to get my phone back to normal. While I was re-flashing I noticed that in the downloader it now stated "KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0308)". I had rooted just fine without tripping knox but I obviously tripped knox when I installed the bad flash.
I know it's possible on other models, but is there any way to go about resetting Knox back to "0" on the S6 Edge yet?
What "other models" is it possible to reset KNOX?
I should probably have been more careful before I said 'other models', no S6 edge to my knowledge but according to what I've read and seen videos of, the Note 3 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2740340 ) has had it done successfully so I was hoping an option for the S6 edge is available.

How do we root the 925a?
It's very simple and straight forward, just follow the directions given here using PingPong Root

Hi all just wanted to find out how to do this
Thanks
edit:
I want to root just so I can recover files as most apps must have root.
Then I will unroot to get samsung pay and reset the knox counter.

Tripping Knox is permanent. You cannot reset Knox, even by unrooting your phone. Only Samsung can do it, and even so, it's very rare.

Thanks so I have done a bit more research and like you said permanent and then therefore Samsung Pay will never work. It will be a while yet before its available in AUS anyway so I'm not bothered.
So rooting is back on the cards to recover my camera album I accidentally deleted. It seems so daunting and over my head though. I don't want to brick my phone.
Do you have a easy and effective recommendation for backing up the note 5 before I head down the path of rooting?
Even then it's not very likely you can get the pictures back. Every time you touch your phone to do anything you are likely to overwrite those old memory locations - even by booting the phone.

^Someone else said that and its already been a week. I may try anyway to test out the functionality of a rooted phone. What are the benefits of rooting for a non-power user?
Anyone have a recommended backup service?
Currently no one has really figured out what KNOX is. Some say it is a eFuse but there isn't any solid evidence. Even if it is a eFuse there must be some way to bypass it? We just need to knox for what it checks specifically.
Here are some facts:
Some people claim that they got their phone repaired by guarantee and it reset their KNOX counter from 1 to 0 without changing the motherboard.
SamFAIL can currently root your phone without tripping KNOX. The question is how?

We actually know a lot of those answers already...Samsung doesn't exactly keep it all a secret . As per Google:

Thanks didn't know such an article existed. So perhaps finding out how it detects if a non-knox kernel has been loaded and then bypass it that way.
Also do you have any idea how SamFAIL manages to keep knox 0x0?

Hmm not sure... I suspect it has something to do with having a locked bootloader on those Snapdragon models, meaning root must be achieved differently (in a way that doesn't trip knox), but I really am just speculating here. There may be more detail in the SamFail thread, or someone else might be able to better explain. I have an Exynos model.
I think that the very reason for implementing something like knox is, SAFETY for the user/owner, many see knox as a restraint, something that does not allow them to fully tinker with their devices, at the end, anybody can root the device, knox indeed has nothing to do with it, just flags the fact that the device has been tampered, and no longer as secure as it was before, so, I think knox is a GOOD thing, and that anybody has achieved to return it to 0x0 once tripped, is excellent news, but that is my opinion
Sorry to say but it's unlikely you'll find a way to bypass Knox without tripping it. People much smarter than us have been trying ever since it came out.
In roms you can disable Knox & it will show 0x0 but it will still show tripped in download mode. SamFail doesn't trip Knox cause it's using an engineering bootloader that was leaked from Samsung. Since that engineering bootloader is not custom binary, it won't trip Knox. So until something similar is leaked for Exynos, root without trippin Knox is not possible. Well it's not root exactly, it's flashing custom recovery (like TWRP) is what trips Knox since it's custom binaries & you need TWRP to root.
G'day XDA Developers.
I would love to root my Samsung Galaxy S10 then install a custom recovery (TWRP) then flash a custom rom (LinageOS) how ever I trip Knox when ever I attempt to do these things. So I was wondering how do you go about disabling Knox?
After some Googeling I found this site https://www.progeeksblog.com/how-to-disable-samsung-knox/ How ever these methods require you to first root your phone but rooting triggers Knox.
So I am at a loss here I am running stock android rom until I figure out how to bypass Knox.

thats always been around lolol.. but regardless ur post was more about not tripping knox which ur knox is in fact tripped so "disabling" knox doesnt change anything really.. also, that zip doesnt really disable knox.. it disables verification, defex, force encryption etc.
Actually it says that it disables vault keeper which is supposed to replace Knox but any way yea your right my post was more about flashing anything trips knox so how are you supposed to get around that.

vaultkeeper is not to replace knox.. samsung bases all their security on knox.. vaultkeeper is in addition to knox..
there is no way around tripping knox.. the knox warranty bit is a physical fuse that gets blown when bl is unlocked and u flash a custom firmware and there is no way to reset it..
magiskhide can sometimes "fake" it but with safetynet improving if ur device is set to use hardware then there wont be any way around that either in the long run

I don't care about voiding warranty. What happens when I try and flash anything custom on the device Knox gets tripped and the phone refuses to boot. Thats what I am talking about trying to bypass.
I have Galaxy Tab Active3, which is locked to organization and it seems to have Knox enabled.
I want to Factory reset it so I can use it for private use.
I cannot get it into download mode, but I can get it in recovery mode. However, the Wipe data/factory reset option seems to be disabled.
Dialing *#0*# and *#*#88#*# from emergency dialer do not work either.
Any advice how to remove the Knox protection and factory reset the device, so I can set it up from scratch and remove the organization lock?

short answer: no, you cant reset knox back to 0x0.
The reason i didn't root was that i lose more functionality than i gain and there's no going back to knox 0x0 after that. I couldn't imagine my S3 Mini or S5 without root but my Note9 is perfect without root as many things that were available only with root in the past are included in the stock firmware or in Good Lock modules.

It's a scam. The Knox flag is indicating the state of an eFuse, which can't be changed nor reverted.

The ONLY way to get KNOX back to 0X0 is to replace the mainboard...
You can get a rooted phone to display KNOX as 0X0 but it is cosmetic only and won't fool any apps that don't work on a rooted phone.
If you haven't replaced the boot file, rooted or replaced the recovery then an app you have installed likely is malware that has tried or successfully gained root privileges...

Simple answer NO i made a mistake rooting my Tab S4 i'm never ever rooting unless i get a SnapDragon as they i heard you can root without trpping Knox! Also root is not needed as we have Youtube Vanced, Disconnect Pro! Package Disabler Pro, and #Mono oh forgot about Goodlock! Unless your planning on running Custom Roms it's simply not worth Rooting! As it's to much headache to root update reroot etc!

This^ I also removed a few preinstalled apps via ADB and granted one permission for Tasker via ADB as well. Root was mandatory in the past but not any more at all.
