I have Samsung (SM-G900FD) with Lolipop(5.0) and I want to root it without tripping the knox. I have been searching the internet for past couple of days and I have found a way. It involves, among other steps, downloading and installing the "towelroot" apk, but here is the problem. Towelroot method does not work with Lolipop and I have to downgrade the software to Kitkat(4.4.2), the software version my phone came with.
Once again I have searched thoroughly to find a way to downgrade to Kitkat and I came to the understanding that I need to download official KitKat firmware from sammobile and install it manually, but I don't know which firmware to download from the list that appears against my phone's model.
I have following questions:
1. How will I know which firmware to download from the list.
2. Once I have downgraded and rooted my phone, can I upgrade to android 5.0
Here is my device info,
Model Number: SM-G900FD

First my phone information:
Model number; SM-G900V
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: G900VVRU1AN12
Kernal version: 3.4.0 dated Sun Sep 13 2014
Build number: KTU84P.G900VVRU1AN12
SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SMG900V_4.4.4_0032 Dated Oct 13 2014
Security software version: MDFv1.0, Release 3 , VPN v1.4 Release 1
I want to be able to utilize my external SD card and thus my need to root my phone. I have been reading through the threads and indications are that I can do that with towelroot. I also know towel root would be the way to go. However, given the date of my kernal is this even possible yet? If so, can someone direct me to the proper root instructions if that is other than towelroot please? I really don't want to change from the stock ROM at this time but want to be able to have the flexibility to do that in the future.
Thanks in advance.

I am basically a noob, but I know my way around computers and I can do a few advanced things. I can follow instructions well. So, could you please tell me, could I install a Custom ROM onto my device? (See title).
I am looking to install CyanogenMod (12). My device is rooted. I am unaccustomed to installing Custom ROMs, in fact this is my first attempt. If there are already instructions on this, please point me that way. I'm new to these forums, but I have used them to solve some of my problems.
Stock SAMSUNG ROM is installed.
