[Q] Need Help Regarding Rooting the Exynos Variant

Hey Guy Need Help regarding rooting.
I switched from Xperia Z1(Unlocked + root - Did everything with it ) to Galaxy s5, so things are a bit different for me in the Samsung world.
My phone is SM-G900H running 4.4.2 G900HXXU1ANG3 firmware.
I referred to a lot of threads before posting this for reference but didn't get few answers-

But i was confused as i have seen some posts that the phone is not rooting with ANG3 firmware.
I know that warranty will not come back after rooting but in case things went wrong and after tripping knox will i be able to flash the stock firmwares via Odin ?
I also wanted to know what are other demerits after tripping knox like Ota updates and all ?
Please help me.. M confused

Anyone here to help me out :crying:

Hi mate
You can root with this:

The only problem is that the knox bit will be set and the warranty gone......other than that it will work, unfortunately there is no method to root the i9500 without tripping the knox bit .

Guides to install custom Recovery and rom without tripping knoxs

Hi guys,
I rooted my s5 over a year ago and its still running 4.4.2. I have been looking for months but i have been unable to find any guides that show how to get a custom recovery and rom with out tripping knox.
I have found it soo frustrating and cant understand why samsung decided to make it so difficult when it was so easy on the older models.
Could anyone help a brother out and link me to any good guides to help me install a custom recovery and a good custom rom without tripping knox.
cheers all
