Root [Boost Mobile] ROM's confirmed working for SPH-L710T

Hello board,
I would like to thank you all again. I'm sorry I asked all those questions about customizing, then went begging for something more stock-like. My wife is into the stock. Good news is I have my own phone, and because of an inept seller on Ebay it's the Triband. Yay! I have settled on Philz touch, with Liquid Smooth Rom. It runs very nice, but there is some quirks. 1.) The keyboard sometimes is slow to pull up even requiring a tap to get it up. This seems to come and go depending on how I transferred and flashed the zip. As in mount usb in recovery, or while the phone is on. 2.) The home screen blinks a few times at start up. Not sure if this is just the Kernal controls built into Liquid Smooth, or again because I've been a flash maniac. 3.) I've also been trying to get Link2sd working. I come from a Transform Ultra and needed it back then. I've read the two threads about it, and I think I'm going to give up. I don't need it that bad, but now I'm worried I have a disorganized file system do to the formatting and partitioning. If someone could please help me, and answer these questions. A.) Should the Rom's be placed on the SDcard (internal), or the extSDcard (storage1) for flashing, and should the transfer be done in recovery, or with the phone booted up? Seems to work quicker with the phone booted up (unless in TWRP, it's fast!). B.) Does formatting SD remove partitions? C.) Move to SD in Link2sd didn't seem to change the storage stats, and now I have two files in file explorer, "external_sd" and "extSDCard" with identical files in them. Is that bad/ a result of poor partitioning?
D.) My desktop wallpaper in Apex won't stick. It goes back to stock after reboot. Not sure again if this is of my own doing with all the crap I've been doing.

Now that I have a phone I will whole hearty pledge it to a Dev who need some testing. Thanks for all your help Dev Gods. Sorry for the long post.

I think it's just a patch for the stagefright vulnerability exploit.

Then use Odin flash the tar file.But before that make sure you have the best ROM out downloaded first.Team octos along with a gapps package.

Pull battery before it auto reboots, boot from off, to recovery. Then choose reboot system. It will fix recovery so that it's permanent, and it will ask if you want root. Select yes. Then update su binaries in SuperSU app.

I edited my post with a link. This works on all basebands. It doesn't change. These are always the steps. Just make sure after odin finishes you don't let it auto reboot to system. Pull battery, or hold vol up and home so it boots to recovery. If you let it auto reboot, your phone will flash stock recovery back. If that happens just repeat the process.
