I downloaded the Philz file from Post No 91 (Above) a couple of weeks ago - everything worked fine! Hope this helps . . .

I'd like a copy of it too, please. Servers are still down.
For anyone else who may be needing the Philz file - this link is working (this morning). I've used this version and can confirm it worked perfectly . . .

Custom ROM Suggestions
For those that have successfully installed Philz Touch Recovery, are there any custom ROMs that you could suggest flashing? Thanks!

Is the Wicked S5 Xperience ROM a good choice?

Can anyone tell me if the Knox counter/fuse gets tripped using method 2? I have a VM SPH-L710 on NJ3 w/4.4.2 and would like to get root without tripping Knox.
I rooted my wife's SPH-L710 on NJ2 w/4.4.2 several weeks ago -- and YES IT TRIPPED KNOX. She's now a member of the 0x1 club . . . Used Method 2 AND installed Philz recovery also - It may have been JUST the Philz that tripped KNOX . .. .

if you get a Knox tripped notification you just need to flash the stock rom tar and you won't have it tripped anymore but then again you won't have root or other fun things anymore.
Now I'm confused -- I thought I'd read many posts saying that there was NO WAY to get back to a KNOX 0x0 after it was tripped to 0x1 . . . AND, I've never tried to re-set it simply by flashing Stock ROM . . .
Has anyone else done this ? Have I been concerned about nothing?

Here's a forum I just stumbled on - haven't had time to read it thoroughly. Hopefully there are some detailed answers here to be uncovered. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486346
Looks like there is (or maybe WAS) a bounty being offered to clear out the KNOX counter. And maybe this only applies if you don't simply flash a stock ROM before needing warranty work or want to sell the phone???

First off thank you for your work and dedication in getting this phone rooted. I am using the L710T on 4.4.2 and OA3. I used the philz method and it worked great. Afterward I installed supersu from the play store. Everything is working fine but supersu is telling me that I need to update the binaries. Is that safe to do? Or should I just keep dismissing the notification since everything seems to be working fine anyway?

Perfectly safe just update them with the "Normal" method
Just to clarify the normal method would be to update through the supersu app?

Yes the one that doesn't say "TWRP/CWM"
OK did it. Now it's saying knox has been detected and would I like to try to disable it. Which option should I select?
