In general custom roms doesn't have knox. But if install a custom rom the knox counter will be triggered and your warranty will be void. And it doesn't exist any official Samsung firmware without know. Any firmware without know isn't a official firmware anymore.
I hope this helped you to understand.

I think that you can, but Knox will be tripped

Hi. No,it will not trip your knox as it is Samsung Firmware. KNOX Gets tripped only when you root/CWM.
From what i heard which i forgot where, downgrading from 5.0 to lower WILL trip knox, because it then downgrades KNOX security, so samsung doesn't officially accept to downgrade it from 5.0 to 4.4. Also im 100% certain that Samsung wrote that it's not possible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.x, so i assume if u force to downgrade, it may trigger the knox.

I downgraded from polish lollipop bnl9 to kitkat(beacause I do not want to loose root) and my knox counter is still 0x0
Well thanks guys.
I did it also and it doesn't trip knox .
This ROM works in G900M?
Sent from my klte using XDA Free mobile app
Downgraded from lollipop G900IZTU1BOA1 to G900IDVU1ANK1 .
Lollipop is not yet for me. A bit laggy, not XPOSED framework and much other stuff which worked fine on KK. Must wait to 5.0.2 version maybe? Version 5.0 is not for advanced user yet
Total noooob downgrade:
1)Start phone in download mode
2)Flash KK firmware.
3)Your phone will not start normally either. Bootloop guaranted.
4)Remove battery and put in again.
5)Do a factory reset from STOCK recovery
6)Flash again KK firmware
7)Phone start normally, you can start customization and other stuff like rooting or daily using.
