How do you disable Knox?

[OzGreatAndTerrible]

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

If your not worried about warranties or anything then tripping Knox doesn't matter?

it will likely cause most samsung apps not to work unless theres any tricks that still work also

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?
