no, your warranty doesn't work as your system status is custom.

[Q] can I flash stock rooted fw without custom recovery?

I would like to flash the ROM available here, forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/rom-stock-root-odex-knox-carrieriq-free-t2877511. But, I don't want to trip KNOX and so I can't install a custom recovery. Is this possible? I'm on stock NE6 that's just been towelrooted. I updated the modem and bootloader to NH5 using pc odin 3.09. Can I flash the rooted deodexed stock NH5 firmware that's posted here over it on mobile odin pro?
That one will trip knox.
You need to be on NE5, use towel root, then Mobile Odin to NH5 (stock). If you are on something newer than NE5, downgrade to it using PC ODIN first.
Mobile Odin will inject root into the firmware flash so you won't lose root in the process. You can not install custom recovery or any non-stock firmware without tripping knox.
But doesn't Mobile Odin trip Knox? I had purchased the pro version and started to let it install when it warned of tripping knox so I stopped it.
Thank you ctaranto.

IGNORE THE WARNING as long as you flash official samsung firmware knox will not get tripped

Like mentioned by Ashraf, only ignore the warning if you are flashing an official Samsung firmware. Any other firmware, like those that have KNOX disabled as the OP mentioned, will trip KNOX.
Thanks for the answer. I've decided to hold off on any further tweaking on this phone for now.

The only way to root it is by ODIN (indirectly)
Just grab a ClockworkMod recovery ported for your device as ODIN flashable image (.img)
Go to odin. In your phone keep the home, vol + and power buttons pressed till it goes on download mode. In ODIN, choose the preloader and recovery and disable the reboot after flash. Press start. After it finishes, you can remove the battery and boot into CWM. From there flash SuperSu.zip update file (google for it). Reboot and congrats. Note that you may brick your device with ODIN. Please refer to video tuts for a step-by-step solution. Anyway, hope i helped.

Beware! Rooting your device using the aforementioned method WILL work, but will void your warranty by tripping KNOX WARRANTY VOID. It cannot be reset once tripped.

you can root your device the same method mentioned in general thread
better to use philz recovery and for sure it must be through odin
for knox issue don't worry NK2 is knox free same like NH6 and NH3
only the indian firmware NJ2 and NK1 have this knox issue.
i talk about real experience really i flashed all this firmwares and tried them all
now i am on rooted NK2 with some mods

Things to do before updating to 5.1.1

I'm a noob to the android scene, anyway currrently I'm on 5.0.2 pingpong and I'm planning on updating it. Is there anything I should do before updating? Should I update? Is there anyway to safely downgrade?
Thanks in advance

If you update to 5.1.1 and you want to root your phone now it will trip your Knox counter... to do it you should first upgrade to an oficial FW using odin and them you can install twrp and flash custom kernel and supersu

What do you mean? Flashing anything with Odin will trip the Knox counter. This has always been like this. And to have root you need to flash via Odin so Knox will change to 0 x 1
Flashing an oficial firmware Will trĂ­p the counter I think no

Negative. Flashing anything except official Samsung packages via Odin will cause Knox Status 0x1.

Will Custom Recovery Trip Knox Currently?

Whats the current status of Custom Recoveries tripping Knox? Has there been a way to get CR without tripping Knox.
Currently running 5.0.2 on SM-G925I with root via pingpong. Knox still intact.
Yes it will trip Knox
