[Q] Problem while rooting Sony Tablet S - Sony Tablet S

Hello, I'm facing a problem while trying to root my Sony Tablet S. Using "S.onyTablet.S__ALLinONE__v6.3" I can't start rooting my device because I get stucked when it says "waiting for device", nothing happens even if I wait 10 minutes.
I installed the ADB drivers and executed "adb devices" command, all went fine. I can see my tablet on my PC and have access to storage.
Is there sonthing I'm missing ? I tried other root methods using the same script but same result, once "waiting for device" and in other time "path specified inaccessible"
I hope you can guide me. Thanks

Go into tablet's Settings > Developer Options and set USB Debugging to ON.

I already did that and checked for "unknown sources" as well.

do not run AiO directly from archive - unpack it, best location is root of C:\ for example.
then try to root. if it still fails, then try to right-click - run as admin.
if you have still problems - run task manager on pc, and check if some adb process exists,
if yes - kill it, then try again to use AiO.
I also had similar problem when had installed Droid Explorer - it runned in background,
with its adb - which caused some problems with communication.
oh, and always use newest ver - currently v6.4 (not 6.3).

Same here, Droid Explorer became a disappointment because of that unfortunately.

Thank you for your advices, so :
-updated to 6.4........................................ok
-adb process kill from task manager..........ok (didn't find any)
-unpack root software in C:\....................ok
- run as admin.....................................ok
- Root..................................................Failed, still getting stuck on "waiting for device"
Nonetheless, I noticed when running root software, I killed adb process created by the software and there for one second it recognized my tablet but the adb process turned on again and I got "error device not detected"
I am getting crazy, I rooted many phones without any problem, but this tablet........Grrrrrrrrr.......any suggestions?

Try changing the adb files from another source. That was solved my problem.
Sorry for bad English.

Connect tablet to computer.
Power on tablet. Best to have tablet connected to charger or at least, fully charged.
Open Windows Device Manager.
In Device Manager, check to see if these two devices are shown.
Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface
Portable Devices > Sony Tablet S
If either is missing or has a yellow triangle next to it, ADB drivers need to be installed/reinstalled or the USB cable is defective.
If both are shown, then run adb.exe to see if it detects your tablet.
Open a command window in Condi's AiO's \files directory; e.g., C:\S.onyTablet.S__ALLinONE__v6.4\files.
Type the following.
adb kill-server
adb devices
The following should be displayed.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
2755010100xxxxx device
(Note: xxxxx added by me to hide actual serial number.)
Before closing the command window, type the following.
adb kill-server
If nothing was shown under "List of devices attached", then either the USB cable is defective or the adb.exe supplied with Condi's AiO is not compatible with your tablet (unlikely) and you will need to install and use a different version of adb.exe.
Good luck.

I ended up having to install Koush's universal ADB driver to get it to work with mine, however that may be because I have drivers from Samsung, HTC, and Sony for ADB on my computer already.

With your tablet connected to your computer, open Windows Device Manager, then right-click on the device with the yellow triangle and select "Update Driver Software" to re-install the device drivers. If the drivers were previously installed and working, they should re-install without problem. If they don't, re-install them using the tool or method you used the first time you installed them.

From the images you posted, the ADB drivers appear to be installed and working; however, here is a link for downloading the ADB drivers and instructions for installing them on Windows 8.
BluechipJ's Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S and P
Also, USB Debugging must be set ON during the process.
