TWRP should prompt you to root after it's installed. Yes you can flash ROMs after you install TWRP.

I use CM13 nightlies.

If you're going to use AOSP ROMs make sure you backup your APN settings since you are using a different network than Sprint.

Which rom you are running ? If you are running any s7 port or note 7 port rom then definitely fingerprint won't work at all.

If its still in a stock rom and you didnt root it, then maybe its a hardware failure.
Take it to the customer service.

Samsung Galaxy S4 L720 Unlock question

Hello,
I recently unlocked my L720 using the SSU app, I'm currently running the stock 5.0.1 rom on the NG2 modem.
If I flash a custom rom like Cyanogenmod, will I lose my unlock?

No, just don't use Odin except for flashing TWRP.

Thanks, so to keep the unlock, I only flash in TWRP?
Also which one do you think is more stable, CM13 or 12.

12
I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 and gapps, but I can't access data or send/receive calls or texts.
I changed the APN settings for the sim I'm using (FreedomPop), but it won't let me search for a Network Operator.
Why do you even need unlock? Freedompop is on the Sprint network. I prefer TouchWiz so I can't really help you on what AOSP ROM works best.
