Hello everyone, I picked up this phone about 2 days ago from Boost Mobile. I have the SPH-L710T, running 4.4.2. So I had downloaded Kingroot to see if it would root my phone, as I don't have a computer that's readily accessible. So it didn't work at first, but yesterday I went back to the app and it asked me if I want to disable Knox to improve the chances of it finding a root strategy. Unsure & afraid that selecting it would brick my phone, I just left it alone.

I'm curious, has that happened to anyone else? If so, then could you tell me what happened? Thanks everyone, I appreciate it in advance.

Knox is a set of security things for when these are company phone. Knox will mess with root stuff, and nothing happens to your phone when it's disabled. Don't worry about disabling it. I'm on stock (rooted) oh1 with it disabled and nothing has happened due to knox being disabled. Hope this answers your question.
