In the case above , after you flash it if you wish to gain root again towelroot will not work (yet) so if you root knox bit will be trip , maybe is already tripped as you have a custom rom now

Hi ,
It depends in what firmware you had last , if you had 4.2.2 you can , if you had 4.3 or 4.4.2 yon can not , odin will not let you downgrade
Once you flash stock firmware and your status is stock you can upgrade from kies or ota
