Private mode will not work

Hello, I'm pretty new to all this but I was hoping I could get an explanation/ solution to what is going on.
I recently rooted my galaxy s5 and everything was working fine, sometime after installing xposed framework I noticed I could not access my private mode pictures. It would say unable to enable, please try again. I looked around on here for a while and believe it has something to do with knox.
I checked out this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-enable-private-mode-knox-0x1-t2904723 however I am unsure exactly what it is I need to do.
If anyone can help me out with either a fix or a way to retrieve the pictures stuck in private mode that would be great.
Sorry I'm not well versed in this knowledge.

SM-G900F Rooted, How To Enable Private Mode?

SM-G900F Rooted, how to enable Private Mode?
Since i have rooted my SM-G900F using CF Auto Root, i haven't been able to enable Private Mode. Using Google didn't help at all, and flashing the zip file found here did nothing. Is there any method to be able to enable Private Mode WITHOUT unrooting or installing Xposed Installer (We all know it is too buggy on Lollipop)
Works fine with my rooted G900F
How did you not trip the KNOX counter then?!?
I did trip KNOX, ages ago, and private mode never stopped working
Even froze all the KNOX apps and everything still works fine
Could you maybe send me a copy of your PersonalPageService.apk?
Maybe that will fix my problem

Private Mode Fix on Stock Rom after xposed framework

Maybe my private mode stopped working after installing xposed framework.
After Searching a lot for the Private mode fix , i got few zip files. But none worked.
After flashing zip my Private mode and Finger Print service broke with > Unfortunately Private Mode and Fingerprint has stopped.
I had few Photos stored in Private Mode and had no back up of it.
Finally I did this, and it worked for me. Even you guys can try this out.
Backup these files first:
/data/privatemode -------> This folder contains all the files locked in private mode
/data/system/fingerprintpassword.key
/data/system/personalbackuppin.key
/data/system/personalfingerprintpassword.key
/data/system/personalpattern.key
also
/data/system/users/privatemode_edk_1000
and uninstall xposed framework and its apk with its uninstaller, you will find it in this site itself.
Now comes the point of luck, Software update
I was thinking to finally update my software if there was any, luckily I checked and i had a software update. But it cannot be updated from mobile as it has been rooted.
Download: Samsung SmartSwitch/Samsung Kies and use it for software update.
After the update root your phone with Auto-root and then restore the files you've back up of.
Before that have a Nandroid backup of all your data for safety.
I am not sure how this works out for you guys, but i guess its worth trying once.
ALL THE BEST , TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. :good:
Hope it helps you.
