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.

Just download the correct firmware and it will work. Same thing happened to me a week ago. If you have updated your Mega recently, and flashed an old firmware, that is what happens. So flash the new firmware, let it boot and if it doesn't, go into recovery and wipe data.

That's the thing, I can't find the firmware at all! I'm not even sure which one I need to download.

- Go there http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
- In search window put your model number (I9200)
- Choose firmware suitable for your region and download
- Install downloaded firmware by Odin
Because your System staus is 'Custom' you can not get OTA software upgrade.
Ether you can try to recover your firmware in Kies using tutorial from this thread:

I downloaded Russia firmware and Iran's firmware for my i9200 and flashed them with odin 3.07 and 3.09
but after odin finishes flashing the rom and i expect the phone to turn on, i only see the LOGO of samsung and a red line in upper part of the screen that has written: SECURE FAIL : KERNEL
do i have to download the latest firmware?? cause Iraq firmware is the latest one
also because my internet is very slow and i pay money for each Gigabyte that i download i have to w8 until 2:00 am so that my internet becomes free ( 2:00 - 7:00 am is free) so that i can download another firmware

You HAVE to download the latest firmware for it to work, otherwise, you'll trip the KNOX counter. I learned this the hard way ^•^

I am sorry so I did not mention it, but it was for me selfevident so you need to download LATEST firmware for your region (all firmwares later than xxxUCNA1 should do. Of course there is one unknown - what kind of firmware you were flashing the first time. )
Although you did not post what firmware you were flashed at the beginning and what you are downloaded now, in my opinion red line means so you probably are trying to flash older firmware without knox, while the first one which cost you troubles, was new kind with knox and, what is even more important, new bootloader . This new bootloader prevent from flashing older firmwares (without knox) and such attempt can be source of soft brick. Unfortunately this situation is irreversible and from now on you can flash ONLY newest firmwares containing knox and new type of bootloader.
So find firmware not older than from the beginning of this year suitable for your region and flash it. That should cure problem immediately.

from Finland
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9205
i found in this thread an attached zip file to remove all Knox files
and my first question:
is it safe to use it on my SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND 2 DUOS :SM-G7102 and how to use this zip file i mean by what tool to use it?
second question is how to reset counters of my device,i mean a tool like "Triangle away" so i could upgrade via OTA?as i used towelroot V1 to root my device and then OTA said your deicve modified and didn't upgrade he also he disable my google account and my samsung account,i mean it always faild to login to my google and samsung accounts after root and try upgrade officially
please advice me what to do:fingers-crossed:
triangle away is kinda risky to use as it might cause Hard Brick ! and ya flash the stock firmware again and use CFROOT to root as it is Safe compared to many but u shud go into recovery once before flashing

I have tried telling that many times but they still continue to mention Triangle away to flash counter
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.

Gửi từ SM-N915K của tôi
Very thanks to nuoitiec19.
I have just upgraded my Edge to stock firmware Lollipop 5.0.1 by Kies3.
It's very simple, after I installed Kies3 on PC and connected Edge to PC, Kies3 automatically upgraded my Edge to Stock firmware Lollipop 5.0.1, no need anything else. All things on my Edge did not lost.
Now my Edge runs fast and smoothly, no problem.
Is this gonna FULL WIPE the phone if I flash it via odin?
There is another thread whose op posted 7 files and 7 steps for odin flashing the 915K This one is a single rom file right? Bootloader modem etc... all included and will be okay if I flash your file via odin (pda option) or should I find / download / flash them also?
Thank you..

My Edge was upgraded very easily.
After Installing Kies3 on PC, Edge was connected to PC. Kies3 connect to Edge (pic).
If Edge firmware was old (4.4.4), Kies3 will show the latest firmware Lollipop (5.0.1). Edge will be upgraded new firmware automatically if you want. You not need download and flash new firmware with Odin, all softwares you like also exist on Edge nothing was wiped.
If you flash Edge firmware via Odin this gonna FULL WIPE the phone.
Mine is rooted and have stock 4.4.4 will it make a difference for updating via kies?

My Edge was unrooted, I don't know whether Kies3 could upgrade Rooted Edge or not. But you could try to use Kies3, if Kies3 could upgrades your Edge, it becomes unrooted. If Kies3 could not upgrade, you unroot your Edge and use Kies3 again.

I have just rooted my Edge 5.0.1, after that I connect it again with Kies3, Kies3 also connects rooted Edge and still has ability to upgrade new firmware.
So you have rooted Edge 4.4.4, you can use Kies3 to upgrade 5.0.1 firmware to your phone.
Cheers,

I just rooted my i545 s4 running on 4.3.
All i want is to update to a 5.0 or higher version.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
U can update manually with odin just download stock samsung firmware vrugoc1 or vrugof1 either one is 5.0 but you may loose root. if you do oc1 has been rooted I'm sure you can find the info about rooting oc1 in this forum
I've got everything downloaded and ready. Even removed root just in case. But I can't get the drivers downloaded/updated. Always fails. Any thoughts?
