Actually, you can take OTAs on 0x1 phones.
I have experience with my dads S5, my old S6, my cousins S6 and my I9505 S4.
All of them were 0x1 KNOX, the S5 took the OTA from 5.0 to 6.0.1, the S6 took an OTA from 5.1.1 to 5.1.1 with security patch and then 5.1.1 to 6.0.1, and my S4 took a baseband update OTA from 5.0.1 to 5.0.1, but my point is, 0x1 doesn't mean no OTAs.
Provided you are not on a custom kernel and recovery, and are completely bone stock, OTAs are very much possible.
Getting back to stock simply involves flashing the entire stock ROM, doing a /data wipe and using your phone as you normally would.

You have to flash them manually with stock recovery, XDA + personal experience so it is right... flashing through settings would say your phone has been modified.

Flashing the Stock ROM reverts phone status to 'Official', regardless of whether or not it's 0x1.
It only says 'Custom' if you unroot the device with the SuperSU app.

I have never flashed an OTA through stock recovery on a Samsung phone.
It always works through Settings.

S5 and S6 as I mentioned in an earlier post.
My I9505 S4 did it too.

If the next OTA comes on my cousins S6, I'll ask him to send a picture of the bootloader with 0x1 KNOX and him installing an OTA through settings.

There isn't a pic of the bootloader showing 0x1 KNOX, but here is my cousins S6 getting a security patch update through an OTA update.
I rooted his phone myself when he was on 5.1.1, so I can assure you that KNOX has most definitely been tripped.
