Hi,

Type at shell console line this command, adb shell id, if you receive uid=2000 answer then device not rooted, if you receive uid=0 answer then device rooted.

BR,

That's because it depends on if phone is rooted via ENGINEERING kernel or not. Dicle_Gsm command will work if it's ENGINEERING rooted. If you rooted by cf auto root you should be able to use the "adb shell su -c id" I believe. Then if the phone hasn't had root prompt accepted, you should see it pop up asking for permissions.
