Not to be rude but I'm calling user error here. Rooting is probably the easiest thing you'll do on the phone once you have super user access, if this is tripping you up, go back to square one and read, read, read and trouble shoot. You're missing something in the process, watch the you tube video and follow it step by step, you'll get it.
Swyped Thunder coming at you
Every time I get psyched to root I read a post like yours and come to my senses.
