I got the same error messages. Get Root Check, and ignore the errors, and once it's sent, see if that works. It doesn't allow you to update the binaries though, until you do the full root with the WPnomo described in the Pie thread
Elaborate
So I got root checker it says I am not rooted so your telling me that I should just ignore everything and run the full root process because everyone else says that root checker should say I'm rooted is there any other programs I need besides sdk I read somewhere that I need Java setup correctly to execute scripts and also I read that I may have to create a junk file on my phone that will allow the scripts to be pushed to I'm so lost I am about to give up someone please help me out I'm new member so I can't post in development

You need to make sure everything like your firewall, avg, security is all turned off or it won't work.

sorry, I never got a notification from this. No, root checker SHOULD tell you if you have root. Are you running each of the 4 commands separately?
I plug my phone in, cd to the path of my sdk, adb devices to make sure it's recognized then run the four commands separately and phone does nothing it doesn't reboot just stays the same run root checker and it says I'm not rooted the guy before you says to turn avg and firewalls off I'm going to try that when I get home
Reboot? It shouldn't reboot. The phone should technically do nothing until you do root checker. The way this root works, it's tethered, and gets wiped once you reboot unless you do the next steps of using wpnomo

Pie alone isn't going to give you the root that you are looking for. All Pie does is give you root access to the /system partition.
You need to go here: http://bit.ly/1sxDN9t and disable Write Protection, which will allow you to flash the SU binary that gives full root.
After that is done you need to install Safestrap ((Can be found here: http://bit.ly/1jq4WeO) Our device is the XT1080), reboot into recovery and flash: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Now when you boot up you will have permanent root, and root check / SuperSU should show up properly.

Yes after you do all the steps and buy SuperSu pro and enable survival mode to be able to update and keep root

Root survives but write protection gets disabled. So the root is basically useless.
I've never really had to use adb much before on any of my other devices. It's eating my lunch, and is frustrating because everyone is saying how easy it is. I honestly am having issues simply pushing the pie exploit to my phone. When I do, all correct directories, it gives me the adb info and shortcut stuff, definitions, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Just don't know adb well at all.
Edit: nm. got it.
