Currently there are no guaranteed safe ways to flash a Knox enabled phone, there are ways that work, but can still trip the counter on occasion. Best bet is if you don't wanna trip Knox, leave phone as standard!

Oh and by the way, welcome to the forum ;-)

The Knox flag cannot be reset.

Flashing another Samsung, stock, firmware to your phone will not trip the Knox flag but will void your warranty and prevent updates via Kies or OTA.
