How did you root it? if you used some "universal" rooter then the outcome is pretty expected. Our device structure is a "bit" different, so you should follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928509 (Make sure you have read and understood everything, including unlocked bootloader)

On the other hand, if you did followed that guide and completed all the steps, it may be the case that your phone is rooted, but just it doesn't show itslef up. Just install any program that require root permissions (Titanium Backup, for instance) and launch it. If Superuser screen pops up asking for permission - you are done. If not - the link is above ;)

Okay thank you very much. I got Titanium Backup and then the superuser screen popped up, so i guess it is rooted :)



EDIT: But then how come i can't use any of the hack tool like Game Killer, GameCIH/2, Freedom and Game Guardian???
cause it says "deny root" or "Root privilege required".

I guess then it means it's not properly rooted, so go to the link. Don't forget to back your ROM up first!

Okay so after i backup my rom. Then do i just install it or do i have to do a factory reset? And is this for JB 4.1.2?

Oh and can i install Omars rom after i root it?

If you use Omars Rom you don't have to root. Just use cwm to install the Rom.

So you only have to unlock the bootloader and install cwm. If you haven't done it.

So i don't need to root it? just install Omar's ROM and it'll root by itself?

If you come from stockRom our an other Rom you have to wipe. You can find an how-to in Omars thread...

Okay does it matter which version of Omar's ROM i use?

EDIT: Okay i just installed the latest one and i still cant use GameKiller and GameCIH/2. Can you use any of them on your phone?
