I am having the same issue, I was able to root it without any issues. Installed GooManager but the App itself is force closing or it get stucks in "Installing Recovery Image" when I reboot into recovery I still get the standard recovery and not TWRP.
Now my question is since I have SU, would it be easier to just get Rom Manager and install CWM then flash TWRP off of it? Any suggestions appreciated.

Sound like your last paragraph will work... Or just flash CWM through Odin then flash TWRP trough CWM.

That is what I did and it did the trick.
Try as I might, I just couldn't get mine to work through Goo manager either. Finally, flashed CWM through Odin, flashed TWRP zip for T879 through CWM and I was good to go.
Had the same troubles.. Finally got it installed by following the dd method on the teamwin page. OK, can't post a link but google "sgh-t879 twrp". They list several alternate methods of installation.
"Download - DD Method:
You can use adb or terminal emulator to install the following image:
...
adb push openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.img /sdcard
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-879.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22"
would someone point me to the step-by-step for this? I have odin running but it shows blue... I'll figure that out - what I need is how to get CWM loaded & running correctly.

Is it possible to install CWM through stock recovery? Or via any app on rooted phone? Or is it possible to just unpack CWM and put every file in it's place? (I know it's probably stupid, but I want to know)

CWM can be flashed through stock recovery.
1) First download this file - http://www.mediafire.com/?qadx0xhewbfm89a
2) Enter stock recovery
3) Choose apply update from sd
4) Choose the zip file>>yes
There you go. CWM is installed on your device.
CWM can also be flashed via Odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156194
As for unpacking and putting every file in place, i suppose it can be done but what's the point?
Press thanks if i helped you.

Hello,
I have searched and didn't find TWRP custom recovery for GT-P1000.
The TWRP site doesn't support GT-P1000
I have rooted my device, and flashed CWM recovery.
I want to flash TWRP recovery instead using Odin or "install zip from sdcard"
Anyone can help me find this custom recovery.
Thanks
Well, you can get it automatically if you flash this Omni KK ROM on your CWM recovery, after that don't forget to flash SuperSU.zip
OMNI ROM ---> http://dl.omnirom.org/p1/
SUPERSU.ZIP ---> http://download.chainfire.eu/695/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.45.zip?retrieve_file=1

Hello everyone. There are such topics after each official update for this device and many more.
I tried towelroot (with the secret code also) and Framaroot. No one succeeded. I couldn't root 4.3 with CF-Auto-root, so i didn't try this one. Anyone can help? Thanks!

Hi, so if I understood well, the only thing I have to do to get rooted my S3 with 4.4.4 is to flash the CF-autoroot via Odin, isn't it? Then how can I install a new Superuser.apk if it brings me a force close trying to open the one already installed caused because of Knox?
Has anyone tried that method already? Does it actually work?
this works, but you have to untick "reset" in Odin and after flashing the recovery disconnect it, pull the battery, put it back and start the recovery manually, then flash supersu .zip and the other one that prevents the original recovery to be written back
If you let the phone reboot after flashing custom recovery, it will overwrite the custom one with stock one - tried that earlier today
---
sorry, misunderstand, if you update supersu just open knox and close after it shows you options to lock screen - then the supersu handles knox blocking properly
---
edit2: I tried with supersu by chainfire, didn't test with other party superuser.apk

well, just to be sure, you may not allow the phone to enter normal boot mode after flashing custom recovery
so step-by-step how I did it:
(you have to put both zips from cf-root to your sd card before you proceed any further)
1. phone in download mode, odin->untick "reboot"
2. choose your recovery file->start
3. as soon as you see "reset" in Odin window, you may ignore the message on the phone "do not turn off" and pull the battery
4. re-insert the battery, boot with vol-up+home+power combo (if you don't enter recovery, but the phone boots normally - restart from scratch, as your custom recovery just got overwritten)
5. flash your supersu and recovery disabler (both files from cf-root)
6. you may reboot to system now, set up know, update (or download) supersu from play store, allow to disable knox
that's it, I used philZ touch recovery
--------
info from another forum: it's said you can root with kingoroot
so after you root you can use semi-automated recovery install using skipsoft united - after you root, you send the script to prevent recovery overwriting via adb, you got to download mode, flash your recovery and you're done
Thank you adamuadamu !!!
It works!

Thanks for the explanation adamuadamu,
However, just to be sure, apart from the recovery disabler file, the other CF-Root file that I need to flash is the "update supersu2.02.zip"? I've read a lot of posts explaining the same procedure but no link to the actual files that need to be flashed, and sometimes the reference is to generic names like CF-root and when you search for it there is a lot of different files, etc.. I'm a newbie, so sometimes I don't know if any version of Philz will work or if it's better to use just plain CWM, if CF-auto-root is the way to go or just the old CF-Root (last version for i9305 says is for 4.1.1).
Thanks in advance for the reply and explanation.
Cheers,
Da Fig
Do you have to flash the custom recovery first and then SuperU? Is it possible to just flash SuperU and then using Triangle Away in order to root 4.4.4?
I want root but want to stay as stock as possible.

I remember using some older SuperSu (1.9xx) as the files were already on my SD Card
In case you need proper and updated files and you're a bit afraid of confusing them - google for skipsoft toolkit, choose your device, wait for the program to download appropriate files and then in order to get the files you need, you'd have to (all from my memory, in case you'd need more detailed info, let me know and I can check within couple of hours, as I'm not in front of my private PC now)
1. go to root options and use option to push supersu and recovery disabler to your card
2. let the program reboot your phone into download mode
3. contrary to the advice onscreen, use odin, but untick "Auto Reboot", flash your recovery (the program will show you the path to newest recoveries it downloaded upon first run)
4. wait for the recovery being flashed, disconnect the phone, pull the battery. DON'T CLOSE ODIN yet, you may need it if you fail to boot into recovery directly!
5. start the phone using 3-key combo into recovery. if you fail, you'll need to go back to step 2.
6. flash both files copied in step 1.
7. reboot into system
personally I stick with PhilZ touch, as it always checks for root when leaving recovery and offers to repair it
8. go to play store and download or update supersu by chainfire (whatever applies to you)
9. run SuperSU, agree to disable KNOX
Thanks for the reply adamuadamu, I'll try this and see. Apparently most supersu or the correspondent CF-auto-root will do the trick. I'll try your method first, otherwise I'll start playing with different files.
Cheers.

SuperSU version 2.01 has the forced close problem on 4.4.4.
Download the SuperSU version 2.02 in following thread and install it. It will ask to disable KNOX. select YES.
