Samsung Galaxy S5 (G870A) ROOT Help. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 active. I have come across endless tutorials that tell me to flash " G870AUCU1ANE4" to my phone but it no longer allows that.
Every time I try to flash " G870AUCU1ANE4" to my phone it stays "aboot.mbn" then the flash fails. So can someone give me instructions on how to root my Galaxy S5 Active as of 10/5/15? Every tutorial out so far doesn't work for me. I will include my phone information below:

sm-g870a #2-1 running 6.0.1 - need root
I picked up one of these units and immediately upgraded itself to 6.0.1 and apparently, that is the last word on the subject for rooting. There is some convoluted processes but I have either failed to execute said process' correctly or I'm barking up the wrong tree. I have devoted a fair amount of time to this endeavor but would really like to find a solution to the problem. Quite frankly, I have no doubt there is a slam dunk, obvious answer out there somewhere but I just don't have it, and I'm at my whit's end with this beast.

[Q] Help with rooting on knox 4.2.2?

Hi i brought my second s4. its 2nd hand and locked to EE. Unfortunately this one has knox bootloader and the previous owner has voided the warranty status to 0x1. i was hoping someone could point me to the right direction if there is already a root tutorial for my device firmware. also i would be grateful if you could advice me network unlocking the device. the service menu tutorial does not work for me. thanks
My phone details in about follow:
Android 4.2.2

What would be the best and easiest method for me to root? i would prefer not to have a yellow triangle at boot up screen, are there any solutions.
Kind regards.
Thanks in advance

No, it's not. BTU is United Kingdom code country. And the latest firmware 5.0 is this ONE. Do you have installed it?
Hi,
I already had this installed but re-flashed using your link just in case - I still have the same issue
Any ideas?
Thanks!
