you need a custom recovery
You need a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM
Easiest method I've found is TWRP Manager from the play store
if i flashed cwm then it will trip my knox counter0x0 to 0x1?

Yup, flashing anything custom will trip KNOX
okay sad! fine but at least ill get access to in internal system so i can remove un wanted stock apks and i can replace apks with permission?

Yep, with root you can modify any part of the installed ROM you want without tripping KNOX
KNOX is only tripped when you flash a custom ROM, Kernel, recovery etc

I use ES File Explorer, long press on APK until highlighted/selected, then hit Menu 3 dots ... and choose "Properties > Change Permissions"
Make sure to choose "Tools menu > Root Explorer" first to give ES File Explorer root permissions

Towelroot won't be upgraded past Kitkat as the Dev (Geohot) now works for Google......

Install philz, then flash deknox removal script , choose re-root system from philz and then download supersu from play store.
You don't have to use cfroot. Follow the tutorial above step by step.
You can download adaway from other stores like Aptoide.
I did not have issues with sd card, i have a custom rom though.

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.
Is is possible to use any Odin (I have 3 or 4 on my downloads) to flash stock over unlocked O2?

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)

What about "System Status", in recovery I have a "System Status: Custom", knox 0x0 though, I'm rooted and use Xposed, what does this mean? how can I reverse it to "OFFICIAL", is this important when it comes to warranty?

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
Can someone tell me how to remove ROOT from s5 securly(do not trip KNOX flag), because my s5 need go to warranty???? Please help

Dude realy, to get to full stock unrooted first use Triangle Away to reset the system status and the binaries. Then unroot from within the superSU app and after that flash a stock rom and data factory reset.

I know. Noobs question. But first time in life I work with KNOX. My device need go to warranty and I dont wanna trip KNOX to 0x1.
I just uninstall ROOT with SuperSU. KNOX still 0x0.
I have i9500 and I'm on latest stock(rooted) rom but after installing VolTaqe 15.0 kernel
"Unauthorised actions have been detected" on Smart Manager of my rom, how can i reset this flag to secure again or disable threat detecter??
I'm not familiar with the kernel but you may need a custom recovery and/or root to install it.

My device is rooted and i have TWRP 3.0.0 custom build, i know how to install zip via recovery.
Sir plz read my problem again....
Copy the Voltage zip file to a micro SD card or the phone's internal memory, boot into TWRP, and install it from TWRP.
Disable Knox via SuperSU or debloat your ROM. That actually comes from Knox. I've warned my kernel users on j2lte variants to do the same (since there are no custom ROMs available for those devices yet).

You don't need root to flash a custom ROM.
You just need a custom recovery. TWRP is recommended.

You don't need root. TWRP can be flashed with Odin and this doesn't require root.
Rooting and flashing a custom ROM are different and separate things.
