It looks like both methods require root access which Knox is preventing for some. I have successfully removed Knox with Titanium but only after
finally getting SuperSU to work.
Now that I'm more awake I will go over what I believe will make that happen.
Flash
SuperSU with a
custom recovery. This puts superuser.apk in the system/app folder. Once you boot up the first time and you try to open a root only app you will get the security alert saying SuperSU has been blocked and you will also notice that is missing from the app drawer. What I did was navigate to system/app with Root Explorer and click on superuser.apk and install it. Then I saw SuperSU in the app drawer and was able to open it up. Do not open a root app just yet.. once in SuperSU click on settings and select "Reinstall: Cleanup for reinstallation from Google Play" and once that completes (it should reboot) reinstall SuperSU from Google Play and you should be good to go. Open Titanium Backup and see if it achieves root access. If it does, freeze the following apps before rebooting to get rid of the Knox security software:
ContainerAgent.apk
KLMSAgent.apk
KnoxAttestationAgent.apk
KNOXStub.apk
Those are the steps that I took and it worked for me. Good luck!
