What is your Hboot version? First find out your Hboot version, then you
Can know exactly which method of rooting to use. Revolutionary uses specific h boot versions. So once you find that out then you can move forward using the correct guide. Hope this helps.

Hey, don't jump to rooting right away.
You first need to S Off or unlock your bootloader.
Here are the appropriate guides for you:
How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM
Flashing roms with S-ON and 1.2x HBOOT

These are guides for flashing ROMs, & your Hboot version is very important to determine which method will work for you.
For now, it should be sufficient to read through the guide.
Don't try to do it right away, read first, understand & then proceed.

Yes when the time comes you will really enjoy 4ext recovery. It is so nice with many features and is extremely user friendly! They also have some beautiful themes you can use on your 4ext recovery! I just flashed one yesterday called purple moon its soo nice. I think you will be very happy with 4 ext.The one I'm using is the newest version its called 2.41.
So far its been great.
