Qualcomm secure boot enabled?

[JHumBL3]

I just got my 2nd GS3 and attempted to root via Odin but when I booted into CW after to flash I kept receiving the message "E: can't mount /external_sd!" whenever I tried to "install from external sd." I also noticed that while in "Download Mode" in the top left corner under the normal status's was "QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT ENABLED" in grey. Now i never saw that on my first GS3 when in "Download Mode."
Rebooting phone and there was no root/SU application installed.

I then attempted to gain root via Odin again but this time I used the "CF Auto-Root" method and after the reboot my phone properly showed the screen with the RED Android and script. But after scrolling thru app drawer I could not find the SU app.

In conclusion I believe that the "QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT ENABLED" is preventing the root. So I have spent 3hrs combing thru forum after forum and any evidence to support my claim or disprove it. Can anyone give answers of some use???
I just want to root my GS3. FYI im running 4.1.2.

I could only flash the newest CW via Odin but even after that im still having the same issues with "E: can't mount external_sd/."
Im not able to "instal from external sd. or install from sd." II get an error can't mount.

That's because you have newer phones. Search there are specific recovery for your device.

How much more specific do I need to be?
Im trying to root a Sprint SGS3 SPH-L710 running Jellybean 4.1.2. What else could could prevent me gaining root?

Since it's one of the Newer S3's you need a different version of CWM /TWRP. It's because of a change that Samsung did. You can find the Modified Recoveries that you need HERE. Then you should be all good to gain Root.
