I wanted to know if there's a way to verify if I have Samsung Knox installed on my s3. I know it came with the 4.3 update but I see no signs of it. Is there a way to verify?

Re: Knox
Yeah its there but not checked. Think Devs will find a root workaround for Knox?

Re: Knox
It doesn't look like it's going to be easy. A key point of Knox is to lock the bootloader down and prevent people from circumventing it.

Re: Knox
I'm honestly impressed with Knox....even though it's annoying I can see it's usefulness for enterprise solutions. Lol they supposedly worked with the NSA to develop it. Which might make it harder or easier lol..... someone email Mr.Snowden lol he might know?
Probably shouldn't have said that.....might get targeted for investigation......

Re: Knox
Yep. Unless the hacking community figures out a way around Knox, this will be my last Samsung phone.

Re: Knox
They will have it soon. I know cnexus has a 4.3 stock rom out. If I'm not mistaken it doesn't have knox in it.

Re: Knox
Yes, but that only works if you're flashing it on a phone that doesn't already have the Knox bootloader installed. Once Samsung starts shipping new phones with 4.3 pre-installed, or if you've applied the OTA, the cnexus ROM won't remove Knox from the bootloader, and you'll be stuck with the stock recovery, and the stock ROM.

Re: Knox
They are also working on way to take care of that also. Not sure if it is working yet.

Re: Knox
They will get around it, the factory had to have left a back door. I know they didn't lock themselves out... only a matter of time before it's exposed & exploited! Thats what I love about this community, mostly self taught users cranking out better faster roms than the people who get paid to do it.

Re: Knox
Lol, I love how paranoid everybody is about that.. I can kind of understand the KNOX but they shouldn't have put it in the bootloader... or given the consumers the option of installing a KNOX loaded version or none KNOX loaded version...
The back door is there for the NSA.

Re: Knox
I followed this guide from XDA to remove Knox from my T-Mobile branded SGH T999. It states Guide for I9500 but still worked. Been a week rooted with no problems.

Re: Knox
I am like another poster here, it should have been an option. I have never used or do plan on using my personal phone for company use....PERIOD!!!

Re: Knox
Since I don't have a T999 I didn't bother to read all the details, but I'm curious: Does this actually remove it from the bootloader, or just the application files?

Re: Knox
Not sure. I don't see it in settings any more. I just know that before I was rooted and Knox stopped Superuser from running.

Re: Knox
While I haven't customized this phone beyond stock, I know I've always wanted to - and that's one of the main reasons why I choose Android.
I'm stuck trying to figure out what should be my next move to see me through the remaining life of this phone: update OTA and be done with it? or take the plunge with a custom ROM? Decisions, decisions.
But for now, the update notifications are nagging me constantly. Any suggestons? I'm looking for a few good 'If I was you, I'd...'
thanks! ;D

Re: Knox
I can't really speak for you, but if I were me, but with a stock phone.....
I would not run the OTA. We know the Knox bootloader limits your future options (although it has now been successfully rooted), increases the risk of bricking your phone if you try to get around it, and may not ever be bypassed.
I would follow Skunkape's root thread to root and install a custom recovery (NOT custom ROM). This keeps your options open. "You can keep your current stock ROM and eliminate the nags (I think). You can install the stock, rooted 4.3 ROM, install a custom ROM in the future if you choose, go back to 4.1.2 if you decide you don't like 4.3, install Xposed and be able to do lot's of customizations easily and safely. You could even revert to stock in the future and run the OTA then if there's a compelling reason to.
But once you run the OTA your options become more limited.
