How to root it, if possible without tripping the KNOX counter?

Kingo doesn't seem to support Samsung Galaxy S5.

I think you should search on xda developers on the forum for your specific device but i don't think you can root it without flag knox and break the warranty i have an S4 with knox too and i couldn't find an way to root without flagging the knox counter

http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin << here you can find the autoroot for your device and will flag knox just download it and follow the steps you can easily find on xda developers on how to use odin
