    It is rather not KNOX, it is rather a lock after IMEI, such as after theft.

    This is a knox lock, plus he put on an overlay that will not do anything on the phone. Do you know a workaround for this?

    The way is that you have to pay off the outstanding installments. The lock is like imei and some boxes have the ability to change the imei which is of course illegal.

    If it is a software lock, you could try to upload some other soft, previously unlock the BL, and upload recovery.
    I will add that after these treatments, you will flag the knox flag and lose the warranty.
    I haven't used Samsung phones for a long time, so since the S4 days, it could have changed.

    You buy a new phone from the guest x and after a year he stops paying back, then you will pay for it?

    Nothing will help, because this lock is set by Samsung at the operator's request and assigned to the phone ID.

    At the moment, I do not know how to get rid of it, apparently root and some modified soft will allow you to remove it and you will be able to enter the phone menu, but there will be a lock after IMEI.

    If someone has stopped paying installments at all, it will do nothing for you that you will turn off knox - after 2-3 months the IMEI will be blocked.

    But after uploading a custom rom and repartitioning too?
    From what I read, this is a software that is installed by a plus when you first start the phone.

    Doing root and custom can help, but the IMEI is still blocked.

    If you block the possibility of updating on the phone, it will work until it is connected to the fenrir or restored by one of the update programs available to the gray user (the phone will suck on the IMEI dedicated to itself soft).

    EE in the UK was doing the same but they were using some 3rd party application (I don't remember the name now), the phone was working normally after the XEU software was uploaded. Download XEO and reflash ... you lose nothing trying.

    If, as tino2003 writes, it is an IMEI lock, it will not work with any soft in Poland, but it should work abroad without any combinations, you would have to check abroad to confirm the IMEI lock.
    But as I wrote above, why does the operator need some additional software on the phone to block IMEI? after all, they can do it on their system with no problem.

    The operator needs this additional software to make the phone useless also outside Poland - so to sum up my friend: you don't know each other, don't make a mess!

    You flash twrp on a note 8 model as you have it, download a custom from xda, flash it, use the wipe function, done.

    A bit offtop. If it is a phone from Plus or T-Mobile taken in installments, then by law you do not have the right to buy such a phone, because this "guest" is not the legal owner of this device until the installments for the device are repaid. The "guest" also has no right to sell such a device. This is probably a misappropriation of this.

    A person from my family has just finished a fight with a commission shop after purchasing such a phone. After "appropriate" letters, they accepted the return and returned the money.

    The fish breaks from the head, let's think if what plus and tmobile does is legal? :-)

    In the eyes of the law - yes. From my point of view, as a user, morally also yes. In this way, they effectively shortened the procedure of taking phone calls to the "pole" and problems with timely repayment of installments. Minimizing losses.

    The phone from Plus blocked by imei also does not work - neither with a different network, nor with a different card

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around unlocking the Samsung KNOX lock on devices from PLUS and T-Mobile due to unpaid installments. Users clarify that the lock is primarily an IMEI lock rather than a KNOX-specific issue. Solutions proposed include paying off the installments, rooting the device, and flashing custom ROMs, although these methods may lead to warranty voiding and potential IMEI blocking. Some users mention that while custom software might temporarily bypass the lock, the IMEI will eventually be blocked if payments are not made. Legal concerns regarding the ownership of devices purchased on installments are also raised, emphasizing that such devices cannot be legally sold until fully paid off.
