Root [Boost Mobile] HELP! Need to root Tri-Band SPH-L710T after OTA latest update (L710TVPU0AO3)

Hello! I would like to know if its possible to re-root or root SPH-L710T after last update. I was rooted, went back to stock took the update and now I can't get root. Well, I tried to flash Philz recovery but it didn't work, it shows DEVICE STATUS "CUSTOM" but I'm still in stock recovery. I used Odin to flash Philz, maybe I'm doing something wrong or It's not possible yet to root with the new update. Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Which version of Philz did you use? Did you put it in the PDA slot in Odin? Did it say success or failure? You could try unchecking A. Reboot, and when it finishes flashing, pull the battery and manually go into recovery and select (re)root
 
OK you need to Odin TWRP first then pull battery then back into Odin then Odin philz.This works took me a day to figure it out.Backup once your into philz your good to go.
 
Yes I contacted Samsung about this issue I was about to update but was unsure..... Does it give 4.4.4 or 5.0 do you know what it did? If you could tell me that that would be great. There are some stock nf4 tars but I don't know if you can downgrade.

Philz touch 6.48.4 I haven't try unchecking A. Rebbot. I will give it a shot. Thanks

Sorry for the dumb question, I'm using Odin3 v3.04, is this the same as Odin TWRP?
 
I tried to get the last update with root and nothing happens, no update, no brick. I'm no expert, I'm sharing my experience. Someone more experienced can confirm that
