That's so subjective. Once you've rooted, there are so many to chose from. Stock, AOSP, whatever works for you.
When dialog fails, its time for violence.

Wouldn't that method put knox to 0x1? Or am I mistaken. And couldn't he try using towelroot, depending on the version hes on?

He doesn't have a Verizon phone. He has an international model or at least that is what he listed. Not everyone can go up and down firmwares like we can.
You are right though. He could try towelroot first.

The full instructions here should help. The only difference is that you need the kernel/firmware for your specific s5 version.

Your questions would be safer answered by someone on the Galaxy S5 international forum but I found a couple of things. Use with caution as I don't know anything about your device.
Here is a link on how to upgrade to lollipop if you are interested. Also, this custom recovery (CWM) was in the same link. I believe you might have an unlocked boot loader so you are way better off than we are.
I also found this:
Backup device
Quote:
Step 1. Boot into recovery(hold the menu button and volume up button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
Step 2. Select the backup button and confirm backup

Try Kingroot app first, the latest version. If it fails( it wont for sure. Internet connection is neccessary) then try pc version of kingroot
Edit:
Instead of saying thanks in comment, you can hit the thanks button

I tried both Kingo root for PC (1.4.9) and Android version but they are both fail.
