If Knox is tripped you need magisk hide I think to use it. I don't think you can unrooted anymore. But I'm not sure

Yes the knox, it tripped. Cant I restore it to original stock rom, even if the knox is not reset? I am fine with it. Only want to use an unrooted phone without any problem working with apps. Also, please tell how to use magisk hide. I tried installing it along with Magisk Manager, but installation failed. Please help

Knox not will be reset but you can install custom rom and install Magisk. Magisk options selectable Magisk hide. You want how can you. Go to this thread

If you unroot or use magisk hide you can use all banking apps except samsung pay.

Not able to unroot using odkn, it fails, not able to install magisk, apps still not working. One more question, even if i am able to reset to stock rom somehow, will it make my galaxy s8 dead, sice i bought it in bahrain and using in india.
Help please.

Android Pay not working.

I Haven't rooted my phone yet but it keeps telling me this when I open android pay, when I first got my phone I set my up my card but now it saying that phone is either rooted or bootloader unlocked which isn't the case.
On Vodafone UK, before this I used my OP3 with Magisk with Android Pay but I haven't used that since I've got my s8 so I'm not sure what the issue could be.
Any insight to this?
Besides the usual factory reset.
same here EE UK S8 not rooted (yet) but comes up with same error message. It worked fine on my rooted and hidden with magisk S6
edit - oh and factory reset doesn't work as I already tried that. I thought it might have had something to do with bringing over magisk app from my google backup but I specifically didnt install that the 2nd time around. Knox hasn't been tripped so its not that
I'm having the same issue on a Galaxy S8 via Tmobile. I've never rooted it, have no clue if the bootloader is unlocked and I'm stock since I reset the phone the first time I got the error. Still getting the error and Android pay help chat was not useful.
Same issue here, on Voda UK. I used Package Disabler pro and thinking I might have disabled something I need.
So since I had OEM unlock enabled after disabling it, it passes and safetynet now.
I had no problems adding cards, but a few days later when I wanted to add more cards, I get the error. I can't remember what I did in between that would've caused this, but definitely not rooting! I turned developer option to off and still get the error.
My S7 is rooted and TWRPed and have no problems adding cards!!!!???
Very weird. Working just fine on my rooted s8+ with magisk.
I'm on T-Mobile with a S8 and Android Pay connected to my PayPal is getting card read error everywhere I try to use it.
Safety net says everything is ok too. Not sure what's going on. I have the newest update and not rooted.

Hi Can you let me know how you managed to root with Magisk and get Android pay etc to work?
My phone:
Model: SM-G955F
SW: G955FXXU1AQF7
I tried rooted and couldn't get it working, and now recovered to official ROM and still can't get it to work?!?
Dont you people know anythin?
All EU(exynos) S8 and other galaxies come with unlocked bootloaders. Thats causing the problem
Lock it
Hi all,
I already posted a question in the Official stock upgrade but it got lost in the other comments, so I'm trying my luck again.
I had an italian branded SM-G950F (OMN), I wanted to remove all the Vodafone stuff, so I installed a MULTI-CSC as per the official stock firmware upgrade thread, when I did it I had my Australian sim card in and I got a weird UK CSC (the multi CSC didn't have australia in it), after installing everything I noticed that Android Pay didn't work, so I did a factory reset with my italian sim card in and still Android Pay was complaining that my firmware was modified or rooted.
I decided to use an australian specific firmware so I downloaded an XSA firmware and did the procedure again.
At this stage Secure Folder and Samsung Pay work (the phone is NOT rooted, this update has been the only "mod" I have done) but Android Pay is still saying that my rom may be modified or rooted so it doesn't open.
It is pretty important for me because my back supports android pay but not samsung pay
The phone is not rooted, if I reboot the phone in download mode the warranty void bit is 0 (which is good).
If I use Root Checker Pro, under safety net tab, I get CTS profile match as FAIL, I was thinking this could cause Android Pay to fail.
any idea?

Does rooting in UK\Europe void our warranty?

Hi mariuscrist,
I'm not sure what app can be suspicious, I have reinstalled the apps I had before the firmware update and I could use android pay then. I'll see what it can be, probably it could be worth to do a factory reset and test android pay before anything else?

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?

How to use Samsung Pass after Rooting

I recently have rooted my s6+ G928C with build number G928CXXS3CQH1.
Everything work fine except for secret mode in Samsung internet that I knew not working with rooted device.
Although, I didn't find anypost that said samsung pass also not working, I just want to ask thak anyway to make
samsung pass working along with root? Thanks in advanced.
Please help me, any custom kernal or way to fix this?
As far as I know it will never work... but you could try magisk hide but dont get your hopes up.
Flash the superuser uninstall zip when you want to use it and reroot when you need root? Or get magisk set up so you pass safetynet

[SOLVED]Security Notice after Root (J730G)

Hi, let me just get this straight.
I installed TWRP on my J730G and then installed SuperSU afterwards. Tried the available custom roms I can download from here, but unfortunately, there was none that's stable and not buggy for the J730G-DS at the moment.
I had to flash stock firmware from odin and then just installed TWRP and SuperSU alone.
Now, I'm always getting this "Security Notice" notification
(screenshot attached) telling me there was unauthorized actions have been detected and I need to restart.
Restarted my phone several times but Im still getting the notification.
Can anyone help me get rid of this please? Thanks!
Device is a SM-J730G/DS

Correction: The warning appears after rooting. Therefore, after reflashing stock firmware via odin , the warning disappeared but it came back when I rooted the phone.
Managed to get rid of it with the help of @h.nocturna 's guide from the Galaxy S7 Edge: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/guide-post-root-common-bugs-fixes-t3427600
Bug #3: Notification warning that system has been modified.
Fix #1: Disable com.samsung.android.securitylogagent & com.tmobile.pr.adapt using your favorite package disabler. This will hide all notifications associated with this app as well as the root check that you might have encountered.
Fix #2: This fix requires Xposed. You can follow the instructions to install Xposed HERE.
Then install the Xposed module NotifyClean, activate the module, and reboot the phone. You will then use this app to block the notification under the package com.samsung.android.securitylogagent by clicking on the package so that it is highlighted red. The notification should disappear!
Note: This app can also be used to hide the icon for WiFi Calling if it's annoying you. You can still use the WiFi calling function while hiding the notification.

So you are responsble for what you doing here
Sorry to say that
All you can do try to flash full firmware of your country may be fix samsung pay bot 100% sure
@anurag hacker
since your knox become 0x1, your warranty is void and it effect you based knox app like securefolder, sbrowser private mode, samsung health and also your samsung pay. If you want use the samsung pay you can try search in xda thread about mod samsung pay that can use with rooted device.
Edit: you can try use custom kernel that have fake knox.
There's a simple trick to get s health working
This is the reason I won't root any Samsung phones, unless they're outdated.

Root is far more valuable than some silly secure folder or Samsung pay. Which in any case can all be re-enabled with the right mods.
If you want something secure, store it in the cloud.
If you don't mind about modifying the ROM, then delete this Security Log Agent. It's the part of the Knox suite by the way.
Honestly I wouldn't implement Knox on ANY Samsung phone except for some really serious corporate devices. It's useless. As if Google's partly ugly security patches were not enough, we're also having Knox on our heads.

Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized

Hi everyone,
Straight to the point, I bought Samsung S7 Edge second-hand and I get trouble in lagging and always show notification of "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
This problems also tangled me when I'm using Samsung Health...:crying::crying::crying:
As basic situation, I know it had been root and unroot before I bought this phone.
Is anyone can help me to get rid off?:crying::crying:
samsung health, android pay and secure folder won't work on device that has root or have been rooted. firstly, to get rid of the annoying notification, install titanium backup,grant root rights if you are still rooted, locate the apk "security log agent and freeze it. If not, install latest twrp and root with magisk or supersu, just search online how to do so. lastly , to get rid of the lagging and notification . flash latest stock rom via odin and everything would be fine ..just remember that your knox is tripped forever so don't expect samsung health would work after removing root or getting back to latest stock ..hope this helps and good luck
