Do you have any superuser app installed? Make sure that root checker is not blacklisted.

Strange but the apps are working fine.
I am confused do I have root or not?

You are on 4.4.2 or 4.3 or 4.2.2 ??
On 4.4.2 cf auto root might not work
Install philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot/install su binary

[Q] Rooting After Update

I have not rooted my S5 yet and I updated to firmware NI2 and now I want to root it. How do I do this without tripping Knox?

Use Towelroot method.

Will that work even though the kernel is from September?

No

Could I just flash an old kernel, root, then flash back to the NI2 kernel?

Sorry, I'm new to Odin, but can I just flash the boot.img or do I have to convert it to a .tar.md5? And also, will converting it give it a different signature meaning it will trip Knox?

[Q]Odin not working on U.S. Cellular S5 could someone help me find what I did wrong?

Not sure what I did but had to Odin back to stock lollipop but then couldn't root using twrp or cf-auto root. I get a fail (auth). Tried factory wipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
