S975L and Towelroot

SM-S975L Galaxy S4 Straight Talk Official Phone Variant running Android 4.3 working with Towelroot.
Build: JSS15J.S975LUDUANB1

Has NOT tripped bootloader Knox Warranty Bit.. 0x0
Cannot get a pic.. its tiny ass writing on that screen.

On Settings > About Device > Status > Device Status.. it is saying 'Custom'
but once you factory reset and remove towelroot and supersu it does return to 'Official'

I am okay with this because this will never update to 4.4.2..
Straight Talk with never update this phone.. but I guess if I did factory reset then I could update.
Staying with Factory Recovery.

Working smooth with no fast battery drain and 4G speed.
