If you are still on kitkat then kingroot should do the trick.

Hello I just wanted everyone to know that I found a root program for our SM-G900T on Android 4.4.2 it says its for Verizon Wireless version but I have been using this for a few months now without any problems. The program is called Towelroot and can be found at https://towelroot.com/

I am sure you are right as my friend who is on the Verizon Wireless, and he updated his phone and he lost his root, I will upload a screen shot of my version.
but if you really want to root without tripping knox you can downgrade your firmware to any rom prior to the June update then root with towel root and now you can upgrade with mobile odin to any later roms while keeping root during the mobile odin flash.
however you can't have any custom recovery without tripping knox.

^^ What he said.
The bootloader is not locked. You can downgrade to any stock firmware and flash whatever stock firmware you want. Anything that NOT stock will trip your knox counter warranty status.
I rooted and flat-out deleted all knox apps in the system folder. I have no idea if that tripped my knox counter, I am figuring my knox counter was tripped because I went ahead and flashed TWRP recovery. Removing the Knox apps in /system/app and /system/priv-app are no big deal.

so flash a firmware <june 2014 with odin, root with towel root, then flash newest with odin?
which firmwares are <june 2014?
When you start the mobile odin it specifically says using mobile odin on this divice will trip the knox counter there is no recovery from this. lol so downloaded the ne6 rom flashed with odin and root with towel root. all good now

What'd you use to flash to a earlier stock firmware? Flashify or Flashboot?
Since towelroot isn't working is there another root option for 4.4.4 without tripping Knox?

Any root working at all? Sorry for the original vague title of the thread..
I used Chainfire's auto-root with no problem. Trips Knox, though. But it will root your device on 4.4.4.

I know but as you said before I don't think there is any method right now that can root lollipop a5 without tripping knox
To tell the truth, since 2000, none of my phones not broke. For each of them, since I discovered xda in 2008, I had modified software,so I do not look on the phone warranty.
Take your time, and wait for stable proven solutions.
For now this is warm, new, but unpopular (for the moment) phone.
I was curious if there was root method for 5.1.1 (FOL1) that doesn't void Knox
Not at the moment.

No, but it's hilariously easy to get Samsung to honor a warranty on a device with a tripped Knox flag, if that's what you're worried about

Nope. I doubt that there will ever be. The best thing we can hope for is root with knox intact
