KG State: Prenormal 2025 Update.
This post attempts to address any technical difference between recently seen
- KG State: Prenormal and
- RMM State: Prenormal
RMM is Remote Monitoring & Management
We could assume any Prenormal status is principally applied from remote Samsung servers
Knox
Explained here What is Samsung Knox? | Samsung Security | Samsung UK
Samsung Knox isn’t a program or application, but is hardware built into your Samsung device at the point of manufacture.
This would imply any KG State: Prenormal derives from within the device.

Unlocking the KG (Knox Guard) status or disabling the Prenormal status on a Samsung Galaxy device, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab SM-T500, is a sensitive and potentially risky process. It generally involves circumventing security features like Samsung’s Knox, which can void your warranty, cause data loss, or even permanently disable certain features on your device.
Here are some things to consider before attempting any modifications:
Knox Warranty Void: Samsung Knox is a security feature that prevents unauthorized changes to the system, and if it’s triggered, it usually voids your warranty. Disabling or bypassing it can render certain features, such as secure folder or Samsung Pay, unusable.
Bootloader & Rooting: The “prenormal” status typically refers to the state before the device has been fully unlocked or modified, and “KG status” refers to the status of Knox. To unlock or bypass Knox status, you might need to unlock the bootloader and root the device, but doing so has significant risks, including the possibility of “bricking” your device if done incorrectly.
Here are some common ways people attempt to modify these statuses:
- Unlocking the Bootloader (for certain devices)
Warning: Unlocking the bootloader might void your warranty and erase all data on the device.
Samsung doesn’t officially allow bootloader unlocking for most of its devices, but on some models and regions, it is possible.
To attempt unlocking the bootloader, you generally need to enable OEM Unlocking in the developer options (Settings > About Phone > Software Info > tap Build Number 7 times).
Once enabled, tools like Odin or third-party software can be used to attempt the unlock, but this can trigger Knox and void the warranty. - Rooting the Device
Rooting can bypass some security features, but it usually results in triggering the Knox flag (KG status), which is often permanent.
Tools like Magisk or CF-Auto-Root can be used for rooting, but this will likely trigger the KG status as Knox monitors root activity. - Custom Firmware
Flashing custom ROMs might bypass certain status restrictions. However, this can be a risky procedure and may render your device unusable if done incorrectly. - Knox Removal (Not Recommended)
There are third-party tools and methods that claim to bypass or remove the Knox status, but these are not officially supported by Samsung, can cause permanent damage to your device, and may result in security vulnerabilities.
Important Considerations:
Data Loss: Any of the processes above, including unlocking or rooting, will typically erase all data on the device. It’s crucial to back up your data before attempting any modifications.
Permanent Risks: Once Knox is tripped, it’s typically permanent and cannot be undone, leading to potential issues with apps that require a secure boot environment.
Voiding Warranty: If you have an active warranty, bypassing Knox or altering the device can void it.
Legal and Security Warning:
Bypassing or unlocking features in this way could violate the terms of service of your device or service provider, and could expose you to security risks. It’s important to evaluate the pros and cons carefully.
For precise steps, it would be important to know your specific goals and whether you wish to preserve device functionality or just bypass certain features.
