Editing this to provide info for those who were in my boat.
I did not plan to try to root, given the ton of threads on how impossible it is, but I figured I would at least follow the 10 minute video and see if I could get into recovery. In the 10 minute video, he gets in, but shows a second way for those who dont. It turned out, what he did, I did; and his second try was my second and final try. Once in I figured the hard part was behind me, and went to put in the update.zip. Since 99.999% of the threads discuss how to get into recovery, there was no information on what happened to me; so hopefully this thread can stand for those who run into what I did.
Basically, I couldn't get the timing right, and I would either get a verification failed (no worries), or a LONG list of things which looked like they were a success. The readout was:
Finding update package ...
opening update package ...
verifying update package ...
installing update ...
verifying current system ...
unpacking patches ...
removing unneeded files ...
patching system files ...
symlinks and permissions ...
BUT what I never got was "unrEVOked". So I tried a few more times, and got that list again BUT with
e:multiple firmware images
e: can't store zip image
installation aborted
If this happens to you, it simply means you are pushing the update too early. Ignore all the instructions about waiting 1/2 second or 1 second or all that. Just wait until your phone says "verifying" with a green bar, and push out the update. You will get the unrEVOked message.
I hope this can help someone out there.

are you pushing the power button before the enter button?
I think so
Thread edited with problem and outcome in post # 1
if your not getting the unrevoked message your timing is off... keep trying. click the power button on update zip and wait .5 to 1 sec then hit the enterbutton to send the payload
Please

Done ... for those in my boat while Doug was keeping me calm, dnchattan gave me the hint ... I was pushing too early and confused by the long list of decent messages about installation.
When I did it on verifying; it went ok.
THANK YOU DOUG AND DNCHATTAN
Not sure what is going on I was cooking a rom and I kept getting this error
E: Can't symlink/system/xbin/su
E: Failure at line 29:symlink/system/xbin/su SYSTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted

I thought maybe I forgot the su file. I made sure both were there but I still get the errors when trying to install. I am able to Nandroid and install roms by other people but for some reason I get this error with the rom i've cooked what is the problem?
Have you updated your kitchen lately? I thought that problem was fixed.
And did you run the script checker? Option 10 (maybe) I in the main menu of the kitchen?

I see there are others with this issue and aplogize if this question is reduntant.I do not see my build, that being Sprint - Samsung Galaxy S III, SPH-L710 - 4.1.2, Kerneal version 3.0.31-944783.
I am a NOOB or worse (if there is such a thing)
I had rooted used qbking77 you-tube video, via odin, in hopes to run wifi tether, however I never was able to get tethering to work, so I restored to stock.....or so I thought....again via odin and qbking77.
I have since found xda developers, and trust the knowledge and advice found here. I am not confindent in my own ablilties however, I would feel confident in guidance from xda, if someone would be so kind as to point me to the right link for my phone to correct this problem.
I constantly get a message that up-dates are avaiable,when I try to up-date I get the following message:
CWM - based recovery V5.5.0.4
E: Invaild command argument
Finding up date package.....
Opening up date package......
Verifying up date package......
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed

Many thanks to you all for all you do, very impressive!!
