KNOX is a feature that Samsung has included in its latest Galaxy devices. It is some kind of a spier which shows if you have rooted your phone or not. It has a value which is by default 0x0 but if you root your phone it will change to 0x1 and you can’t do anything to reset it.
The good thing is that you can root your phone without triggering KNOX, so if you can’t reset the value you can let it unchanged. Unfortunately the most popular rooting methods trigger KNOX, so developers have created new rooting methods which will keep this value unchnged.
