Flash this rom for here with Odin and you are rooted. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824. Does not increase the flash counter. Or flash this http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip with a custom recovery.

Wow, Ok I thought there would be more haha. You said you were on a sm-p905, I wonder if this will go as smooth on an sm-p900. I'm on the wifi not lte version. Any guess?
Thanks for summarizing that though.
edit: seeing mixed results related to the Exynos chips from people's s4s and s5s. hmm.

Can you please tell more details about your SM-P905
AP, CP, CSC (These can be found at least on SM-P905 by opening dialer, then type *#1234#)
Kernel version (Settings - General - About device)
And for any else of you, if you try this method, report please how did it go, did you got root? did it trip KNOX flag and what firmware version you were using, thanks
I have the international SM P905 this method did not work. Tried it twice

SM-P900 On KOT49H.P900XXUANC4
Does not work, but did not trigger knox. So no harm no fowl. Shame, really got my hopes up.

Thank you..
Anyway, I pulled the trigger and tried this on my SM-P905, it kinda worked.. I'll post my device info later since I didn't have time for that, had to go to work just after rooting..
SM-P905
AP: P905XXUAND1
CP: P905XXUANA7
CSC: P905NEEAND1
Kernel verison: 3.4.0-1131235 (April 3 2014)
Okay then..
I installed and ran tr.apk
Then after reboot I checked recovery
KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0
System status: custom
Then I installed SuperSU (v1.94 if I remember right) from play store (and paid version also)
When I open SuperSU, it asks me to install binary. Since I got stock recovery, I can't use that option and instead choose normal way.
SuperSU says: install failed, please reboot your device
Anyway my device is rooted since Greenify and couple other root apps worked (and SuperSU asked to grand or deny access for those apps)
But because I cannot install that binary, I cannot open SuperSU to change settings etc..
There is v1.99r4(?) of SuperSU, but that is flashable .zip file, and how I'm supposed to install that with stock recovery. And I'm sceptic about flashing anything, in case of triggering KNOX.
Okay, as #snir2 said, I downloaded SuperSU from HERE (was v1.99r5). I unzip that and took Superuser.apk from there and installed it on my NP 12.2. After that SU updated binary using normal method like it should and everythings ok
And after all this odin mode still shows this:
System Status: Custom
KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0
Will do some tests tomorrow and if there comes anything interesting, I'll post some info..

did u check with "root checker"?
at first the binaries weren't installed for me, but, when checking with "root checker" I did have root.
the supersu in the play store is not the last version of the app... u need to download it from chainfire's site:
download.chainfire.eu/supersu
then it will install the binaries

I'm not worried about custom status because if I'm right:
- I cannot accidentally update phone since OTA is not possible with custom status
- I can fake status back to official using Wanam Xposed
- I can get status back also by flashing stock rom again, if I need to
Does this work on WiFi only version?

For those who can't root for P905 (LTE version), I have found a solution.
1. Update the kernel to NC1 or newer through Download Mode
(like this one at the bottom of OP)
2. Root with towelroot. This time if you see those wordings after pressing "Make it ra1n", it works!
I have P905ZSUANB1/P905XXUANA7/P905OZSANB1 on my tablet and after I update the kernel to NC1, I got it rooted! YAY!
BTW I get "System status: Official" in both Download Mode and under Settings, and also 0x0 for the f**king KNOX thing

Seconded, on SM-P900 this did not work. Tried twice. Though I had my hunch it would not.
I just tested Towelroot on my GT-I9506 running latest NEE 4.3 and it worked like a charm and did not trigger Knox.

Works perfectly!
Please, can you help me?
I've downloaded the towelroot apk and installed it. Then, once the phone was rebooted, I've installed supersu from playstore, but it ask me to update de SU binaries, I select the normal option but it gives me a message about samsung knox and if I want to try to disable it, I select no because I don't know if it will affect to the knox counter.... What are the steps please?
And if I download the suggested SuperSU from the towelroot thread, I can't install it because it's a flashable zip that I can't install because I have stock recovery...

Towelroot installs needed files for root. I didnt install SuperSU at all from play store cause its not latest version.
ChainFire is updating SuperSU soon and when latest version (1.99) is online you can install it from play store.
After Towelroot I just installed Titanium Backup (and pro key) and freezed all crap including knox.
After using towelroot on a KNOX-enabled stock 4.3 device, is is possible to revert back to the 4.2.2 bootloader without burning the e-fuse?
Ok, tried to delete system apps, including the knox ones, with root explorer and was successfull!
And about the downgrade, it will change the knox status for sure, because knox is in the bootloader too, not only the apps and libraries, and here, root doesn't made any chance...

The KNOX e-fuse should be burned only by the bootloader in ODIN mode when it flashes an unsigned file to the device. Getting local root on the device and writing a new bootloader directly to the flash should not be able to affect the e-fuse?

It is slightly wrong. You shoud burned KNOX when you flash different version of kernel, recovery, bootloader.
You can flash system, modem, NON-HLOS and maybe others. I've tested only system and NON-HLOS.
Now I have my GT-I9506 Singapore version with KNOX warranty void 0x0 in this configuration:
System and NON-HLOS from Finladian version: I9506XXUBNE1
The others from original Sigapore version: I9506XXUBND2
towelroot.com installed and working!
Thanks to towelroot

Yes, but you are talking about flashing this via download/odin mode, right?
My point is that with root, you should be able to modify the flash directly, overwriting the bootloader.
Would it be possible to receive original updates OTA with this root?

As we have root I would think (so don't quote me on this) that OTA is blocked. But as I see it it does not really matter as the next update for this devise is probably going to be 4.4.2 and flashing that probably also means loosing root.
Now that was a lot of probably but as I see it..
You need "Official" status under Phone Info to receive OTA updates. ROOT will be overwritten by the updates.
After root it's very common to have "Custom" status, but you can cheat it with Traingle away app (not tested by me) or sometimes you can be "Official"after Wipe ( it depends what changes has been done to the system)

I would think getting the OS" 4.4.2 is only part of the package (BTW 4.2.2 vrzn w/gs4 rooted with ease) but you also get other surprises...
Not exactly like a box if lucky charms either.
Samsung or vrzn either one are not fond of rooting.
Triangle away didn't help me unless i did something wrong.. I still have the unlock icon when booting and phone info says "custom" but knox is 0x0

Don't know why he doesn't label his site or the filename better but it should be the latest version when you download from his site.
When you open the app to install it, it should say the version at the top.

did you check whether its properly Rooted using SU or Root checker?
Also not all Kitkat compatible Xposed modules are working with Lollipop (esp in Touchwiz)
And what recovery have you installed to flash ROM?
i checked it with root checker app get it through play store... it shows my device is rooted but still i am not able to install omega rom. i rood my mobile with ( CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900) with odin BASEBAND N900DDUEBOB1. & STILL IT SHOWS STOCK RECOVERY MODE.
You need to flash recovery separately.
If you read instructions in CF Auto Root, they'd have mentioned as Outcomes as (Root + Stock Recovery)
Flash TWRP or Philz after that
