I suppose that you wish to root your device via fake recovery method, is it right? It is the best method in my opinion, but let me ask a stupid question, have you got at all an external memory card (micro SD) inserted into the phone?

Yeah but it won't mount it says error I've rooted before with an s+ I can't get into either the external or internal sd cards, weird. There isn't even an option to open internal card.

And answering the Jokesy question? Is it stock recovery (3e) or clockworkmode?

If you don't know how to do that, it might not be a good idea to root. You need to do more research. Keep in mind that you, and only you, are responsible for your device.

Boot into CWM recovery (power+home+vol up). Make sure you have root.zip from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26800724
Select "install zip from sd card", choose root.zip & reboot.

don't use ROM manager to flash anything on your device. It has caused many problems for many people already.
Flash with CWM recovery.
It's very easy to use.
BTW, what's your ROM details?

That was quick.
If iunderstood you properly, your aim is to flash Miui ROM, right?
I'm not sure if you are rooted or even have access to CWM recovery.
Anyway, follow this instruction:
- You will need root access. If you have let me know.
- You will need CWM recovery. If you have, let me know.
- have you found your desired miui ROM? If yes, post the link to the Rom thread
- why do you want to flash an miui ROM, is it because it looks like an iPhone? If yes, there may be other alternatives.
Waiting for your response.

on Xda, you cannot ask for ROM recommendation. Questions like that go through PM. If you want me to recommend you any ROM, send me a PM.
My aim is to help you install/flash your desired Rom safely.

I would not recommend using a pit file unless you know 100% what you're doing, and based on your posts it seems like you don't.

If it is in philz recovery I believe in the settings. Either advanced or the philz settings you will see an option to change the location. Tell me if you find it. CMW... well no one really uses it as much but the change in file structure shouldn't change.
