How to find out if you have the Knox 0x1 counter on your Samsung

If you got here, maybe you're worried because you've rooted your Samsung smartphone and now the famous counter to Knox 0x1 has gone up .

Depending on the model, there are methods to root the devices without the meter going up, but you should know that once you have uploaded it, you can no longer go back down from Knox 0x1 to Knox 0x0 because when you jump , this affects the board and is no longer correctable via software.

Samsung Knox what is it and what is it for?

While Samsung Knox is a security system designed by the company itself , it is true that it is more focused on protecting the device from possible threats of the type of software that may affect the security of applications such as Samsung Pay and thus protect you from threats related to private data among other possible objectives.

According to Samsung, incurring in Knox 0x1 will cause you to lose the guarantee of your Android device completely . However it has been shown that at first they were strict with the issue, now several years after the inclusion of this security system, now it is possible that they can repair the device.

You just have to insist on each and every one of the possibilities that you have at hand as far as SAT (Technical Assistance Service) is concerned. Surely in some of them they end up repairing it.

You may also want to sell or buy a Samsung smartphone or tablet with Android if you want to check if it is still under warranty or you have dropped the Knox counter to 0x1.

You may also lose something of value if you are affected, because people are very cautious when it comes to spending money - and that's the way it should be.

How to find out if you have the Knox 0x1 counter on your Samsung

The process is very simple. You will have to restart Samsung's Android smartphone or tablet in recovery mode, so you will see on the screen a text of the type - KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1 - in which you will see if you have raised the Knox counter or not.

To facilitate your work, I will leave you a video of how it is a process and what you should check to get rid of doubts.
