How to Disable and Bypass Knox on Samsung Devices

In this guide, we will show you the steps to disable and bypass Knox on any Samsung device. This mobile device management framework comes preinstalled on Samsung devices and provides defense-grade security. It gets activated the moment you turn on your device and protects your device 24*7 from malicious files and viruses. So why would you turn it off?

Well, in some cases, it tends to be overprotective and acts as a roadblock in normal usage of the device. Likewise, various managements also use this service to prevent their employees from unauthorized usage of these devices. However, in some cases, the users are allowed to keep these devices once they leave the organization, but these devices would be of no use whatsoever due to this restriction.

This phone is protected by Knox Cloud Service. To continue setup, connect to a WiFi or mobile network.

So what could be done in all these cases? Well, your best bet is to disable and bypass Knox on your Samsung device. And this, in turn, could be carried out by disabling the Knox Enrollment Service using the Alliance ShieldX app. Doing so will remove most of the restrictions imposed by Knox on your device. Moreover, you can also remove the Alliance ShieldX app from your device once the process is complete. So without further ado, let’s get started.
