There is numerous threads around XDA regarding this, have a look around and see. Read up on everything before you start messing around with firmwares.

Read about KNOX and make sure you're comfortable rooting, grab CF-Autoroot flash it in Odin via PDA and it will root your device (don't use latest CF as it's for Kitkat only)

There's no root for MJ7 that wont tripped the knox

This WILL trip KNOX. If you want root on MJ7 then this is the method you need. If you do not want to trip KNOX, Do not use it.

If you have rooted you now need a Custom recovery, you can choose either CWM by Chenglu / TWRP by TeamWin or PhilZ Advanced CWM.
Download which ever one you choose to use, flash via Odin in PDA then download your Custom ROM, reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache then flash your Custom ROM via the recovery

[Q] Any one test SuperSU OTA survival mode in s5?

has any1 tried to preserve root in an OTA update for 900F?
Moreover, is there a way to find out if the OTA will flash kernel or not?

Best way to keep root is to flash the new updated factory rom with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root with nearly 100% certainty. Survival mode may or may not work after an OTA, Chainfire doesn`t guarantee it.

What rom did you flash, everything above NE2 cannot be rooted with Towelroot anymore. If you flashed NG2 only CF Auto Root will root the device atm.

You can always flash a NE2 rom and root with TR again and try the survival mode in superSU Pro to keep root. It may fail but the chances of succes are greater.

Read this http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/788644-knox-security-locked-bootloader-new-firmwares.html and judge for yourself. I`am not sure wether flashing an older rom will or can overwrite the new bootloader and if it leads to a faillure of the flash or tripping KNOX. Logicaly i would say option 1 but as said not 100% sure. Look on Google for more info before you try it.

Most bootloaders except some US models like Verizon and AT&T are unlocked afaik, The problem with the NG2 and newer bootloader is that it cannot be replaced atm by an older bootloader.

Wait a minute, just flashed NE2 over my NG2 and lets see what happened Realy curious if KNOX is tripped.
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------
Downgrade flash succeeded, KNOX still 0x0, bootloader downgraded from NG2 to NE2! You need to untick Auto Reboot in Odin before the flash because it doesn`t boot without a full wipe in recovery, so after the flash pull the battery, wait 10 seconds and reboot into recovery, data factory reset and reboot. Done

[share] about knox , root and odin firmware [please read before posting]

Hey friends:
im a normal member and everything above is only sharing
So you may get upset because of this thread
but i'll make things clear, everytime i open Q&A forum i see repeated questions everywhere
so here ill put some repeated answers about those stuff above
1. knox: well when you buy a new galaxy s5 the knox state will be 0*0 , but when you root your phone, flash custom recovery,custom kernel or custom rom this will trip knox and the knox state will be 0*1 and your warrenty will be void.
P.S: flashing firmware via odin will not trip knox
- so if you want to root without tripping knox you can go to this website : http://www.towelroot.com install apk by pressing the sign.
you will be able to root your phone quick from the phone itself but only if your phone on firmware from 3rd june or less
or your phone will not be rooted, but you can also root it by chainfire method from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
you can also use mobile odin to flash firmwares but be carefull to be sure about your phone model.
you can install the app from playstore or from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
P.S: firmwares can be downloaded from here : http://www.sammobile.com
i hope you Moderators understand me and dont get angry or close this thread because im only sharing and thought it will help my friends and the new forum members.
and at last im a member and i have the right to post what it usefull to xda community
hope that i helped.

to flash firmware you can use computer odin v3.09 and then extract the md5 file from the firmware zip and put it in AP in odin (and maybe different version of odin says PDA)

AFAIK it will be fake, the only way to officially convert it to original is, uninstall root reboot and then reinstall root and SuperSU to user directory, not to system. This method worked for Roms prior to 3rd June.

Ughhhh should have know that before updating and installing SuperSU to system... So no way to revert it if ROM is posterior to 3rd June? Even flashing official ROM again without root? :crying:

Yes you can downgrade, i downgraded from NG2 to NE2 myself without problems. Just flash the NE2 rom with Odin and data factory reset afterwards. Then use TR to root again.

Yes, i only flashed the older firmware without a extra PIT file or bootloader file. Make sure to untick Auto Reboot first in Odin, after the flash pull the battery, wait for 10-20 seconds, boot into recovery and do a data factory reset and then the phone should boot normal and both the firmware and bootloader are downgraded to NE2 and KNOX remains 0x0. At least it worked for me this way and i expect it to work for others the same way

TWRP 4.3 or 4.4? Where are you getting it? The latest version is 2.8.7 as far as I can see!
If you are flashing through desktop Odin then use this, https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar.html
If you are going to flash from another recovery, then this, https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.zip.html
