Workaround for those firmwares have boot-recovery.p in system folder and reflash original recovery after reboot.
1). Copy CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip and Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip to your device internal memory card.
2). Boot your device in to download mode.
(Power off and then press and hold the power + volume down + home button at the same time)
3). Flash CWM with Odin with unchecked the Auto Reboot box.
4). After Odin finish do not turn off or restart the device but try to go in recovery mode.
(Press and hold the power + volume up + home button at the same time)
5). Once in recovery, flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip to gain root and Remove-boot-recovery.p.zip to delete the boot-recovery.p file and then reboot.
Thank's
I should rename it to .tar ?? Because Odin doesn't accept .zip files.
Thanks!!

BTW, if I am now rooted with 4.1.1, can I upgrade to 4.1.2, will the root be gone?

Sorry for the noob question, but will I have to do this operation everytime I flash another recovery?
Or is this to get the recovery to stick only the first time you flash cwm?
EDIT: I tried and found the answer. Depends on the rom.
I wasn't able to root my phone today, it was on COM3 in the first USB and COM4 in a different USB.
It got stuck at mapping for pit or something.. Then after 5 minutes it said it failed in red.
I must say I was in a Internet café and the computers were horribly slow and ****. Complete trash.
Don't even think it had USB 2.0 but only 1.0.. That's what it said at least.
Good day! I bought the s3 lte in Portugal. Locked to Vodafone. I did update to the 4.1.2 Now I do not root.
In recovery, do not have the option "install from sd card". and yes :" update from external card" and when I install the .zip file , appears: " E:failed to verify whole-file E: signature: signature verification failed" Sorry the english
