Default Cannot Root...

My device was rooted, but in the midst of creating a custom recovery, I bricked it and had to restore from update (thank god I modded the build.prop). Well, now that I ran the update, I lost root, and when I try to run this Root-Tool, I get errors. Here is the output:
Code:

Sorry for the long post, but I wanted you to see what I do. I had issues installing the OTA RootKeeper (it kept FCing).

Any suggestions?

Hmm... you are first user, who has problem with root. Maybe its related with your adb server problems? (i've read somewhere that you had to kill and rerun adb manually).

To my understanding the process is the same as djrbliss but a few errors that people were having were fixed in condi’s method. Your best googleing a YouTube video if you are looking for a root tutorial. All you need to do is unzip the file on your desktop and make sure you have adb access when plugged in. Then all you have to do is click the run.bat file and root should be applied.

Try one of these videos

It is my adb/computer... I uninstalled it and now am reinstalling everything... Hopefully that fixes it... If not, I will try rewriting it in shell and run it for terminal on device...

yes, ok, and after you will reinstall everything - connect tab to pc, go to device manager - point on sony tab mtp device and uninstall it - CHECK uninstall files also!, then replug it, wait till windows install drivers, click right - update drivers, choose manual, from disc, and point to MTP driver which is included in root tool.

Its very important. I had the same issue with com.pwn.me and drivers,
and this helped me also.

Nope, didn't work. ADB works fine on my phone, but with the tab, I started typing in random things like crap, screw you, youre an a hole, etc, and kept getting : permission denied. When I should ahve gotten :not found... It has to be something with in the device, and I cannot flash an update, because since it isn't rooted, I cannot mod the build.prop. It's looking like my DEVing days on this device might be over... Well, unless we get ICS as promised...

Update
It's deffinitely something in the device. I am completely at a loss, and have no idea how to fix it. But I can say that the device is denying any attempt to access any files/folders in the rootfs via adb...

Try to enter adb shell. And then try to run bins with full path, like:
Code:
/system/bin/ls -l /
/system/bin/mount
It should give you normal results, without permission thing.
Then try below commands, and after each one try to 'ls' or something else, to check if error is still there.
Code:
/system/bin/su
ls 

/system/xbin/su
ls

/system/bin/ash
ls

/system/xbin/busybox sh
ls
Post here results, your device can be deffinitely fixed.
