<SOLVED> No Knox App?

Just curious, I saw the knox app om all international and Tmobile versions but I cant find it on my att version. BY Knox I mean the secure profile switcher.
Update 1 :
Koars215 received a correspondence from Samsung:
"after days on days of speaking with att and samsung... corporate finally spilled the beans lol this is coming from samsung mouth the agent told me that att push the device for purchased and did not look over the software in full before putting it on the shelf. They said the reason we can see the knox app in the installation manager is because by default it should be. Also its something that cant be found on its samsung app market place.
END RESULT: Samsung said within the next 1-2 weeks it will push a software update for At&t and t-mobile(i had no clue t-mobile was having the same issue)"
Update 2:
Get the knoxstub.apk from note 3 international and placed it in system after being rooted and now knox is working perfect. Tnx to cburnett
Update 3:
Knoxstub is attached. Tested and it works :good: Tnx to cburnett for the file.
Just open the apk and install normally and let it do its thing.

Exactly I can't find it either.

You would think it should be installed with an icon on the first page also!! considering how much Samsung is proud of it

I've searched high and low but can not figure out how to access/install/enable knox. I also see it running in application manager.

Me neither. It's strange

To activate it go to Security>Device Administrators.
Word to the wise, if you care about Root or Bootloader Unlock; becareful. No one really knows what Knox changes hardware wise, IF it even changes anything hardware wise and software wise.
Unfortunately there's no way for us on AT&T N3 to disable it completely. But so far, it's not running on mine.

How do you use Knox on the att version? How do I get credentials for it

Still it doesn't show up after I activate it.

Same here checking knox in administrators does nothing. Could it be that I'm using the sim from my note 2 and not the one that was in the box?

Guys Knox is not an app. It's a security protocol that keeps your information private and also your activity. Anything done in Knox, stays in Knox. Once it's activated it's on and monitors your security.
Here's some more information on how it works.... http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox
At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro

mine don't work either

@Jammol your wrong on the the other company's such as sprint there is an/a app on the home screen that allows you to place things inside the container and also Knox have its own store with supported apps. I was on the phone with Samsung advanced tech support and they were scratching their head on why it isn't installed on the device but it is found in the installation manager

I said its not an app because I don't classify it as one. Yes its a container, an environment, an app.
At&t Note III...& At&t G Pro

All variants have this Knox app that switches environments, but not at&t and thats what we are asking: Where is it?

I will keep you guys updated this will be round 2 with advance tech support (samsung+att)... My guess is if others are having this problem that they will end up pushing a update that fixes this problem. My buddy got the Note 3 for sprint and i saw that its visible from the home screen and had to download the knox store onto the note 3. When i later got my note 3 from att that was the first app i looked for and i wasn't available.

Have you rooted YOUR Tmobile (or any) G Flex.?

I was just curious if anyone out there has Rooted their T-mo or Other carrier G Flex. I love aspects of Rooted devices (Vibrant, Sensation, Galaxy 2,3 various other devices) however I have found that with a lot of the newer devices that are coming out, I haven't really felt the need to root. Are there any real advantages to rooting my G Flex, or if Im happy with it should I just leave it be?
More specifically however, has anyone used the VROOT method?

Not yet I'm really happy with it I feel like I don't want to **** anything up
Sent from my LG-D959 using xda app-developers app

Well on the ATT model there is a ton of bloat as well as Carrier IQ. So yeah I rooted and am happy now.

TMO here and I've rooted for AdAway and Root Explorer. Think I'm going to wait for a solid recovery to be released before I do much more.

Not yet, I guess given that the phone was just recently released I want to wait until there is (or isn't) significant developer support for this phone. If not, then I won't do any modifications with it and dump it in 6 months and use a JUMP from Tmo.

Since I rooted, is my Jump nullified meaning I can't use it now?
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

Tmobile does NOT care if your phone is rooted when you go to use a Jump..

I have the T-Mobile flex and i rooted with ioroot. So that i can use xposed +gravity for pie and expanded
desktop view. Works flawlesssly!!!!!

I'll probably root once there is a working TWRP recovery..until then, I can wait, cause this phone is so sweet is so many ways right out of the box..

I have Tmobile flex. I rooted to get rid of bloat and so I can use titanium backups. I have to say, there are some similarities between LG UI and touchwiz but I think LG has this a little better organized. Haven't played with exposed on here yet but I will.

Bought the G Flex release day and rooted that same night! Got rid if the bloat with TiB and now messing with some of the xposed modules. Best. Choice. Ever.

Are there any sprint user that rooted there phones and could maybe list the bloatware apps that they had removed?

I used ioroot..manual method. Did you have trouble with that one?

I haven't rooted yet; just got this thing on Thursday, and want to make sure I am keeping it before I do.
Plus, I might wait a bit and see if by some miracle, kitkat gets pushed out for this guy, in the next week or 2,and I dont want to have to unroot it, in order to get that.
I know the chances aren't good for that, but, I like to learn about a new phone for a week or 2, then decide what I want to do with it, so I am not in a big hurry to root; there is no custom recovery yet, and of course, no roms, so I can be patient.

Thanks everyone for the insight, seeing as this thread has brought more to the table than just tmo answers and users I'll leave it be. I have, with some regret, opted to swap my phone for a Note 3. I had an issue where I would get temporary screen burns (lasting no more than a few seconds). Seeing as these are high end devices, I expected better from lg. The screen burn a side, the flex really is a great phone.

Root w/o Tripping Knox??

So there's a method of rooting the stock Note 3 without tripping Knox => http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-to-root-nf4-knox-0x0-effortless-nf4-t2846142
Wondering if there's been a way yet for the Note 4 for this to happen?

That thread has been around since August. I would venture to say if there was a way, we would have it here. It's unfortunate, but it really doesn't cause nearly as many issues as people think it would. There have been plenty of members to make warranty claims and return their devices to T-Mobile and a word hasn't been said. Most workers at T-Mobile probably don't even know to look for it; they have so many phones they deal with on a daily basis that checking for knox being tripped isn't on their priority list.

I'm using it on ATT though and bought off contract.

I can't speak for the AT&T version, however I don't believe anyone has found a way to root without tripping knox. It kind of became accepted that to root you'll trip it.

I have read that there are Tmobile Note 4 with Rent A Center firmware installed and people are able to install "normal " Tmobile firmware without tripping Knox. That would mean that there is a way to keep Knox at 0 and install modified firmware. I just wonder if that requires special equipment to flash those phones to RAC modification or simply people didn't discover "trick" yet?

I've been waiting for this too but looks like no one is working on it

And it seems like after rooting, we must flash a custom rom or else some of the features will not work.
I hope to be getting a job in a couple of months, and would love to use my note 4 there. But not sure if they will let me use a phone with Knox tripped.

Rent a center is considered as... Sort of a provider. They have an agreement with Samsung which enables them to install custom firmware, which if it is similar to their laptops, allows them to "lock" the device if their RIDICULOUSLY expensive payments are not made. Its fraud insurance in a way.
I am not sure how you would go about getting around knox. But I wouldn't hold my breath. Its looking like it might be a little while...
Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk 4

My friend bought his note 4 with rent a center it does have a firmware different than tmobile, my friend updated using kies and it installed all of the tmobile bloat and basically the stock rom, with knox already Tripp when he bought it

How do I download Lollipop and is it worth it on the Note 3

While debating getting a new device after the Zenfone 2 not working out (looking for a dual SIM Lollipop phone)I am back to my Note 3 and am considering the upgrade except I can't find it. I have Smart Switch on my desktop and tried looking there too besides the usual place within settings on the phone but to no avail. Smart Switch does not show an available update. So all I got through settings was the most recent KK update dated in August. What am I missing? Didn't AT&T roll this out to customers? Why can't I find it? I don't want to root or do a custom ROM as I don't know what I'm doing in those areas and can't afford to brick my phone. Is Lollipop worth it on the Note 3?

Thanks. I did see that thread before. I meant did AT&T officially roll this out as an available update and if so, why isn't it showing up an available update? To be honest, I don't know the procedure above well enough to put Lollipop on to my Note 3 and I don't want to screw it up, especially after going through the ordeal I did with my Zenfone. I don't want to lose LTE on it, and so forth-I'd like it to be the official AT&T version. So the thing is-did AT&T actually roll it out? They seemed to, and my question is, if they did, why can't I download it through the normal software update channels then?

Yes it is official att software and are you on att network with an att Sim card if not you won't get ota from them you can also go to best buy and have them flash the most current software for you

Thanks. Yes. I'm on AT&T and it's an AT&T SIM card in the phone.So it's weird that it's not presenting me with an official OTA option. The SIM is provisioned for the Note 3. But thanks for the suggestion to go to Best Buy. I forget all about their Samsung section. They flashed an update once before for me when I was having problems. I forgot all about them.Next week though I'm likely getting a new phone so I may wait until I confirm that the new phone works out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app

Well, there is a release delay in the phone I'm planning to get so I did go to BB today and they gave me the Lollipop update. Thanks for the tip as I'll be using my Note 3 a little longer than planned, so I figured why not upgrade. It still was weird that AT&T servers weren't giving me the update being I have a proper AT&T SIM card and phone bought from them in thd first place. Go figure.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app

I have found Lollipop to be just fine on the Note 3. No issue with battery life. Am getting my new phone today finally so have enjoyed Lollipop.Note 3 is still a fine phone. Can't complain-just looking for dual SIM at a reasonable price point.

T-Mobile Note 9 to Verizon

Hi guys,
I bought the note 9 directly from Samsung and it was a T-mobile version. I just switched to Verizon but I can't use the note 9 because it's locked to T-mobile. I've called T-mobile multiple times and they said i have to do it through the app but the app keeps telling me that the unlock has failed. I have also called samsung countless times and they told me that the Note 9 that i purchased was designed to be used for T-mobile and there is no unlocking it. I doubt that this is true. What are my options here? Can i flash the unlocked firmware if so, where can i find it? Thanks in advance for the help.

Well flashing it may not remove the SIM lock. But if you can't get resolved then I suggest you get a lawyer and see where it goes.

I pretty sure a T-Mobile Note 9 will not work on Verizon due to the frequencies being different and each phone have different radio software that includes specific hardware. The only phone I am aware of that runs on both is the Pixel.

The installation of a specific carrier rom will unlock the modem to allow it to work on a given carriers network. Just do your research before you start flashing roms.

I had this problem before on another phone. Go on Twitter and send tweet to John Legere from T-Mobile that you can't unlock your paid off phone, someone from Tmobile will contact you to get it unlocked. You can probably also send a tweet to T-mobile too, but I never tried them.

If you bought it from Samsung directly for T-Mobile it should be a N960U1 for an unlocked device or a N960U locked on T-Mobile
Which device do you have?

Flashing a different firmware will do absolutely nothing for the SIM Lock situation.
Also,if you're currently on a temporary unlock,that may be holding things up as well.
Typically,T-Mobile has a 40 day period to where you need for the phone to be active on their network before they will grant a SIM Unlock,not sure if this applies to devices bought directly from Samsung,but,it still could be why you're having issues.
You have two options:
1) Continue contacting T-Mobile regarding the issue,be prepared to show 'em your receipt/etc... proving you've bought the phone from Samsung & that it is indeed paid off. Call during typical office hrs on weekdays to ensure you get your former regional "Team Of Experts",I've found T-Mo's Customer Care has greatly improved since they went this route.
2) Use a paid device unlock service & make sure what you buy is T-Mobile Note 9 specific.
Anything else will not work. Google is your friend,as well as searching here in the Note 9 forums for services that have been recommended by the membership here.
Stay on the T-Mobile firmware until the device is permanently unlocked,I'm not sure that side-loading the device unlock .apk will work on non-T-Mobile firmware.
Depending on the method of payment you used,you may have some buyer protection regarding a return/refund,but,I'd use that as a last resort if after a week or so you get no results.

I just had a replacement and it was locked on tmobile, when I was getting the failed to unlock was because it wasn't enough time activated on their network after a week of use I was able to successfully permanent unlock my note 9
