Installing Samsung KNOX wiithout Re-Downloading it after a Factory Reset? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to install KNOX from a standlone installer in case one does not have access to WiFi internet in order to download KNOX?
So is there a way to use a standalone Android APK KNOX files in case I have to reset my phone and re-install KNOX if I do not have any Internet?
In other words, is it possible to re-install KNOX without re-downloading it?
I have the KNOX Personal Edition.
Looks like nobody seems to know this answer as I already asked this in many many forums.
When 4.3 update was released, I clicked on the KNOX looking Icon from the APPS section and it started downloading. When finished automatically downloading KNOX, It then asked me to install it giving it my password and timeout settings.
But is there any possible way to install KNOX without having to wait for it to re-download in case after restoring my phone from a Factory Reset? Or...what if in case one does not have WiFi internet connection???
In the meantime I went browsing all over ES File Explorer and all things that are KNOX related seems to all spread out in numerous file systems...So I guess it would be impossible to have KNOX installed as a "Standalone" installer.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Knox after going back to stock

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

Accidentally deleted Knox app

Hi everyone!
Today I did a stupid thing- I'm going to factory reset my phone and was looking for a way to backup my Knox data. Sadly, I found an outdated link to a Samsung site that said I will get a prompt to backup when I uninstall the app. Without much thinking, I hit "Uninstall". To my terrified surprise- I didn't get a backup prompt. I quickly installed Knox again, but the data was gone.
Is there any way to retrieve it? The phone isn't rooted or anything, running stock FW.
Many thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it
I don't know.. but maybe Smart Switch? Try that.. also I don't understand how the Uninstall can backup something.. when it's basic uninstall
The whole purpose of Knox is that you cant recover anything from it of you uninstalled it or tampered your device. Ever.
Heeeeeellllppp!!!
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 with kingroot. I wanted to replace it with SuperSU using SuperSU me. So I deleted a few things from Knox including Knox migration agent trying delete Knox completely to make it easier for SuperSU. Well I didn't have any problems until I did the final reset to install super su. Now when I boot up I continuously you get the air Knox migration agent has stopped. It won't even get to my password screen. Anyway I can download a Knox migration agent zip to my SD card and install it via recovery? Please helplll£
Flash stock rom?

Does installing stock firmware reset knox?

Just wondering if installing stock firmware using Odin resets knox. I of course tripped it without even knowing what it was, and it looks like my banks mobile payment option requires knox 0x0 to work. I've looked at lot of posts on here with regards to resetting the knox counter, etc, but they are pretty outdated and most of the files required to accomplish it are long gone. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be so helpful. I don't care about having root, I'd prefer to stay on the custom rom I'm on, but if that's not possible I'm willing to go back to stock. I noticed a lot of the threads are asking how to keep root while resetting the knox counter, but I just want to know if installing stock rom will do this for me.
Did a little digging and it looks like its impossible to do. Oh well, mods can close this thread.
Knox so important?
Even my note 3 got 0x20 count i will no bother if no abnormality happen..just carry on and live with it
I think it's only possible on the Exynos version, not on Snapdragon.
As for your bank, maybe it only detects root, NOT knox 0x1
So, you can try Magisk root method instead of the traditional SuperSU, because Magisk can hide root from a couple of apps that detect root, like Google Pay

[ROOT/KNOX] Consequences?

Hi,
I've never rooted a Knox device before, and I can't find any good generic FAQ about this subject. If there is, feel free to direct me to it and delete this post.
I've read about flashing without tripping Knox, but only other devices. It seemed to involve not flashing the recovery though... Does anyone know anything about this?
If I cannot flash without tripping Knox, can I use XPOSED/MAGISK to make my apps work as normal? Or is this only for apps that detect the device is rooted?
Will my fingerprint scanner still work in Paypal, my banking app, Samsung Pass, etc? (Not sure if this is Knox or Root related in this instance)
If no to either of the previous two questions: is there a complete list of apps that are affected by the Knox flag?

How to disable Knox in A40?

Hi,
I own a samsung galaxy a40 frm my old job. Everytime I try to set it up, It ask me for knox enrollment. I also tried to flash it back using Odin, but always asks me for enrollment.
This phone was my old job's phone, and they never asked me to bring it back to them. I've been waiting for it to happen for more than 6 months but they never called me, I also tried to talk to IT manager, but she told me I can use it to myself, but she can't remove it from knox database? because of enterprise's rules...so now I'd love to use for my personal use.
The problem is that I don't know how to manage in order to uninstall or disable knox.
Please, anyone who could try to help me? I don't want tjhis phone to get old in a drawer...
Thanks in advance
Regards
This thread is for you:
Installing forbidden apps, apk's and even Root Samsung Knox protected phones (Rooting still trips Knox warrenty)
Not sure where to post this exactly as I didn't find any Samsung Generic thread. So: if this is going to be moved somewhere else that's fine. The backdoor I found should be working on any Samsung device running Android 12 with Samsung Knox 3.8...

Thank you very much. Using Passfab I'm able to open a web browser, install some apks and access to settings, but I'm still unable to enter development settings because of knox. Also, In every reboot, I have to launch passfab because knox enrollment asks me to contact to company's gateway... So, I'm not sure what muy next step shold be in order to disable knox, or at least, be able to use my phone as normal, being able to install apps, reboot phone, and maybe rooting it...
I appreciate a lot your post, but I'm not sure if it is ussefull to me. Maybe I'm lost in translation ad it should be somethinb obvious I'm not understanding...
Regards
I gave you a thread to ask questions on it. I am not a knox removal expert.
Yes, I also asked them.
Thank yu very much for your help
Regards
