Rooting 6.0.1 (PE1) Without Tripping KNOX (0x0)?

I'm sure this won't apply to many people, as most have already installed a custom recovery and rooted through other means, without worrying about the KNOX counter.

However, I previously used the method muniz_ri posted here: http://ift.tt/1KMdFWe, so the phone is currently on 5.0 (G900TUVU1DOB1) and rooted without needing a custom recovery (KNOX status 0x0).

As I understand, 5.0 was the last version that allowed downgrading and Kitkat was the last rom that provided a root method that leaves KNOX intact.

So, I was wondering if the following method might work:
  1. Downgrade to 4.4.2 stock using Odin v3.0.9.
  2. Root with Towelroot.
  3. Use Flashfire and the steps outlined in the post above, but substitute the OB1 rom for the 6.0.1 PE1 rom in this thread.
  4. Flash PE1 Bootloader and Modem with Odin.

Any chance this could work?
