same problem with mine, but i found the solution.
the sim card must be removed during the whole process of installing cm12, once the device is ready to be used with the new os, switch off the device and insert the sim card and turn it on, it should be working fine now.
Once you have installed cm12, you are already the root, just goto developer options and enable the root to App only or so. You will get root access.
