try rooting after data wipe from stock recovery

If not then you'll have to flash a stock sbf

If you have a nandroid backup, just restore it. If you were rooted when you backed up, you will be rooted again.

Factory reset - power up while holding Volume Down, then press Vol-Up and Vol-Down together when you see the little Android icon. This is stock recovery. Then select Wipe Data and cache. Yes you will lose all your data and apps.

thanks for the info,will restoring nandroid backup too will result in lost of apps & data?

for restoring nandroid backup boot to recovery then select back & recovery then select restore from backup option. this is the step right?

You probably can't get into CWM recovery now (you are not rooted at the moment). When you see exclamation mark just press vol - and + simultaneously. Then you will get into stock recovery. Just wipe data from here (factory reset) and try again with rooting.

Only one note: as far as you have TB of your apps + data, you will be able to get them back after successful root.
If you need your sms messages, then backup them with any SMS backup app from GooglePlay
If you have your contacts synced with google account, they will be back after new sync.
It will take some time but most important data will be safe to restore.
And for next time: make a nandroid backup before any bigger changes in the system - then you will be able to get back quite fast with all system settings.

When resetting the system do not erase your SD card.

So sorry for bad news but probably resetting the system is now probably best step to do. If it doesn't work next step would be flashing of full sbf.

Then you loose nothing.
- Wipe data/factory reset
- try to root
- if successfull install 2nd init and restore from nandroid backup (all) - then you shall have a phone in a state that you had before

- if not successful, then give me your current kernel (settings>about phone) and I'll try to show you which sbf from a list I send in message should be the best. Then you will root it, install 2ndinit, restore nandroid backup or flash any CMxxx and restore from your TB backup.
