There have been reports that a recent OTA update has patched CVE-2014-3153 (closed the towel root exploit).
You should be able to use Odin to revert to a stock firmware build date prior to June 3rd. Then towel root will work and your Knox flag should remain at 0x0.
It's not an issue per se with the S5, but do not attempt to downgrade to JB (pre 4.3) as Samsung set a qfuse to block that. With such an attempt tending to brick phones.

If I downgrade via Odin, will I risk bricking my phone? And is the samsung-updates site good for downloading firmware?

Any time you use Odin, you run a small risk of bricking a phone. You are writing critical system files and any glitch or power interruption could have dramatic consequences. But writing the correct stock firmware for your S5 /carrier doesn't add any extra or undue risk.
In the future Samsung might add a qfuse for this method. But as of today it works fine and quite a few people have done it successfully.

Do you mean that downgrading from official stock firmware by carrier provider going back to previous version also official stock firmware will be successful?
Currently I'm in 6.0.1 marshmallow, can I download to KitKat directly? or should I go to lollipop first before going to kitkat?
Is this still possible at present?

Same as last leaked ))
good that its the same coz dev has already started on it
does it raise knox number
It has KNOX, so obviously it does if you don't play by their rules.
And as suspected; no Note3 features.
For me; no thanks.
Waiting for knox-free, note3 modded ROMs.
So leak is official
Of official was leak ?

I wouldn't flash this ROM via ODIN. Some people reported installation failure and KNOX warranty void flags. Fix your Custom status with TriangleAway. Then you will be able to update over OTA, if it is already available for your provider. However, even so, I wouldn't recommend flashing this or updating. It has KNOX so you will not be able to go back if this is buggy, and you will not be able to root without loosing warranty.
Already some ppl has updated in india & reported as buttery smooth.
Can someone tell me if this update has emoji on keyboard?

Well, I'm not sure about raising the counter since I didn't try it myself. Some people reported it. Too early to tell.
It would be logical to make it so that it doesn't raise the flag for the first time. On the other hand, Samsung isn't really logical lately.

Triangle Away should fix the status. You must reastart your phone any give it few minutes. It doesn't always work, but mostly yes. There are also few settings in Triangle Away. Allow tracker to run and System modified workaround. Experiment with those. And remember to leave your phone alone for few minutes before you check the status. There is a reason for that.
It certainly works for me. I'm rooted, and get OTAs.

I have Galaxy S4 international i9505 and I am on old bootloader without knox. I installed OMEGA 19 and I decided to go back at Stock 4.2.2 so I downloaded firmware from sammobile for my country code (XEF) and flashed it with Odin. I had problem with wifi so I also flashed wifi fix for I9505XXUBMEA wich is the ROM I believe it was the stock one as I made no backup before flashing custom
I rooted flashing CF Autoroot and installed Triangle Away and Wanam.
Also changed CSC to XEF with CSC Changer from Play Store
The problem is that I cannot get OTA as no matter how many times I try with Wanam Xposed, system status always goes to Custom.
Also despite having flashed old stock memory and bootloader there seems to be a knox store and a knox app in my applications list.
I want to get back to official and be able follow Samsung updates as I am going to sell the phone and the buyer wants official 4.3 and Knox 0x0
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong because I followed every guide in XDA??
Forgot to mention that Triangle Away shows Binary and System Official but Device information does not!
Also Kies tells me that there is an update. Should I install it from there or will it trigger knox??
Do hav any custom recovery installed
No custom recovery. I have the recovery that was flashed with Odin though I am currently searching how to ectract recovery from firmware and flash it again
Reflashing any stock rom would make u recieve ota updates bt I cant say about knox
Hit thanx if I helped
I allready flashed stock 4.2.2 but I cannot get device status to official. Thanks anyway
Bt I think the files ur flashing after flashing stock firmware are creating the prblm of ota ....jst flash again some firmware nd dont even root and see whether u r getting ota updates r not

2. use odin 3.09 to flash it.
3. enter in reconery mode and make a factory reset and Done.

Installed AICP ROM 4.4.2, i didn't liked the ROM very much so i went back to old MIUI rom (miuiandroid_multi_ja3g_4.1.3_jb-4.2). Then just for a check, i copied I9500_Omega_v14.1_UBUBMH1 and flashed. Yep It did work. Here is the screenshot.

I rooted my phone then....added (flashed) the 4.2.2 modem to it. Then flashed the 4.2.2 firmware. You will have to extract the modem from the firmware. Just add the extension .rar to the firmware name ( rename it) eg. 'Tar.md5.rar' and extract modem.bin. use odin to flash it to your phone. Use PDA OPTION TO FLASH MODEM FILE. Then flash your 4.2.2 firmware. Factory reset and wipe cash before phone starts up. However.....no sound...no wifi. ..have to find a work around this. Will let you all know when I figure it out.....Contact me at [email protected].
Flash the modem again and you should have your issue resolved. Sometimes the flash doesn't fully take, and it might have something to do with the S4 storing a backup of the modem.
On Vodafone UK got the following OTA about 131MB (G925FXXU1AODG), checked Sammobile also posted there, but also branded Vodafone.

No. Once you got root you can flash custom Roms and then you can even update the Kernel (maybe...might not be needed so). Only for rooting the unsafe kernel is needed.
There might be the possibility to downgrade without tripping knox via Odin but I'm not quiet sure.

They are working on a s6e version and in the thread he says it should work with all kernel before may 3. You won't be able to flash a recovery but on the s5 it was possible with mobile odin to flash custom Roms without tripping knox. I assume it's the same for the s6.
Downgrade without tripping knox should be possible with official firmwares via odin. It worked for me on the s5. Not sure about the s6. That's why I wanted to make sure the kernel is still exploitable.

Heads up for anyone attempting to flash it on another version.
Attempted to flash the Vodafone 925F(ODG) version on my W8. System only. No boot/radio/csc. The version boots fine even on older kernels, no fc's even without a data wipe. Sadly no in-call audio on W8 and it will be the same for TMO people as well.
For others with any 925F, you should be able to download the full image from SamMobile and then extract the system.img and boot.img. Convert them to ODIN flashable packages and then flash the tar files individually with AP mode in ODIN to upgrade. If you're using TWRP, you can then boot in and flash SuperSU and gain root back. Unsure when kernel sources would be released for the update.
The Vodafone image had 0 bloat on first boot so it should be the same for others.
Edit*
Please make a backup still to be safe. Also have a full flashable image ready incase flashing goes bad.

Take the ODG zip and create an Odin flashable tar package of only System.img and boot.img.
Once an image comes out for your carrier, you can update bootloader/radio if you choose.
Not sure if it will trigger KNOX. If you're worried about that, stick to OTA update from your carrier. You do not need to be rooted to flash an ODIN tar.

any luck with figuring out how to downgrade?
Should i upgrade to 5.1.1 or stay at 4.2.2? I am not rooted yet cause we don't have a custom recovery so just wanted some opinions. Thanks

If your on 4.2.2 then stay on it. Btw you can root and have a custom recovery on sm-g530. The bootloader is locked on 5.1.1 which definitely decreases the chance for custom recovery.
G530az is what I have the root method for the g530 I'm not sure will work. At least no one has said it will

I have not seen any evidence that the bootloader is unlocked on the kitkat firmware for the G530AZ as I have not seen any custom rom or recovery for it either I am currently on 5.1.1 but I would like to see what your talking about on the kitkat firmware where would one find custom recovery and such for this variant on kitkat?

On my old s4 and s5 knox came preloaded but i can't find the knox apk on my grand prime. I'm not a newb when it comes to this but i have seen maybe 2 people say they have root without using kingroot and I'm not doing that. I guess I'll wait till we get a revovery. If I could find the source code I could compile a rom but i have never even tried a recovery. I guess I just want the easy way out.

In the above post I'm saying that I don't see a trace of knox on 4.2.2 that's why I'm wondering if I should take the update
Well their is a recovery already for 5.1.1 but it fails the security checks that are in place unfortunately so its dead in the water for this variant unless someone that is uber dev can figure out how the heck to unlock it lol.

Ahh i see, well if its like 5.1.1 at all knox is there but you cant really access it, I have been messing around with some of the sql databases and have found some things of interest and also they lead me to believe that their is some kind of variation of knox installed but, you can use triangle away from the app store to fool odin mode and the device into believing your running stock however when you try to do update from the update settings in the device it catches it there, but still nothing changes on the reboot splash screen etc. oddly enough.
Yeah that's not me. I don't know how different building a recovery is from a kernel or rom but as I said I have never even tried.

I guess we just keep waiting. I just want root for the ram partition and link 2 sd. Wouldn't mind a custom rom but.....
Ya we have root on 5.1.1 also although it's not ideal but using kingroot does get it done then you can use supersume app to remove that junk and replace with supersu.

I just downgraded from 5.1.1 QEZ to 5.1.1 OJ4 and looking to see how far it will allow me to go before running into some road block.
