I used odin to root my phone a while back, but tried to install the CyanogenMod over the weekend but it failed.

Rooting it is only one step to install a new brand of Android.

Not sure. But a secondary effect is that it may brick it.

Your gonna have to flash the stock rom back on there. If you do the factory reset it might brick it but it definitely won't unroot the phone.
