No it wont, you have to pay to get it unlocked either by software or code.
Doesn't matter what firmware you use
OK thanks, now first find somewhere reasonable, last quote I got was £30!!!! Not paying that

If you didn't mod the system files then the original owner did. To resolve, flash stock factory 4.4.2 images. If you did a factory reset when you got the phone, and don't want to start over, flash the img files one at a time with fastboot (excluding userdata.img).
If you don't know how to do that, check out the stickies (I think in general). There is a very detailed thread there.
The phone was brand new when I got it. I believe it said update ready for download when I did the factory reset.. Now it just says that..

you can take the ota update through wi-fi only...
no need to reset. but i prefer to do it to prevent any system app from crashing and to have a fresh firmware.
All you had to do was connect to wifi. That update required you to do that. "Via wifi only".

Oh. Thats odd, but I guess you got it working, so thats good.
Your screen shot shows that your not connected to Wi-Fi. It says you have to be connected to Wi-Fi to update.

You could use Odin to install Lollipop from here. That should bring you to stock, beware though, you can't undo having tripped Knox (but I don't think most people care about that anymore)
I could just do it from the Samsung website, as well, right?

Just received a replacement phone from Amazon. It has a Viper Rom wallpaper (default). Is it possible this phone could have been rooted and unlocked before and Verizon didn't catch it? If so can it be re-rooted easily? Root checker app says it's not rooted.

Check recovery
It i's possible, have you checked the recovery screen?
Yeah, just did. S-on locked. It is still 4.4.4 so still hope I guess. If I can keep it from updating before I use Sunshine.

As soon as u login to your google account it would have loaded your wall paper. So unless u did not login and it booted straight to home screen then the phone wasn't wiped before it was sent to you.

I've been desperately looking for a convenient root method for my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 version 5.0.1 but I've been unsuccessful. Every post I look for either involves a method with an older Android version or other model number. It's pretty frustating, It's my third day of intensive research and nothing has come up! The nearest post I found was pretty much the same version and model but the model had an "M" in the end of the model name (SGH-i337M) but is not possible due to that minor detail. Please Help!:crying:

You may have to unlock the bootloader before trying to root. For this model bootloader may be locked or unlocked depending upon the operator. Bootloader unlock process may wipe out your data so back up first.
