Sorry, your post got lost in the shuffle of my other notifications that night.
I might be wrong, but that is why (the last I knew) the Knox counter was unchangeable.

I have always understood that you root, you voided your warranty.

As far as I know, that is the most up to date version of SlimKat. They are a little slower than most other Dev's for updating ROMs, but when they do, they are usually pretty solid. I just got in the habit of checking on their website. To update, you would download, and flash in recovery, the same way you loaded the ROM initially.

My update came up in slimcenter

But i think i killed my TWRP since i flashed stock recovery to see how it looked and it was boring so i open rashr and got TWRP again.

And now it fails every flash ;(

Since i clear dalvik and tap install i select 4.4.4 slim and it just says "Failed" ??

Try again, but instead, download from the site, and flash through TWRP.

Dalvik and system cache. Reset only when you change ROMs or get a major update.
