Success at last!. I have been trying to root my Tablet S with this method during trhee days without success. It always stuck at the point where it is supposed that the terminal emulator appears in the tablet after a restart: it never appeared and the process didn't work. What I have done to get my tablet S rooted is the following:

1- Follow the proccess until stuck in the point described (terminal emulator doesn't appear in the tablet after the restart).

2- Close the DOS window in the PC.(don't do anything in the Tablet)

3- Restart the Runme bat and choose rollback. When finished close the DOS window (don't do anything in the Tablet)

4- Restart the Runme.bat and choose Root. This time the terminal will appear in the Tablet when it is supposed to. Follow the instructions.

5- When finished do a factory reset and the Tablet is Rooted!.

Last but not least: Thanks, Thanks, Thanks to Bin4ry and WonderEkin; it's unbelieveble what they have done.

Just one thing: My Tablet S is from Spain (and in spanish of course).

did the apps not on usb storage disappear ???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
IT can happen that they disappear, when happening you can use rollback to get them back. Root will stay.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boxkillor:
hey bin4ry,

maybe you have a clue for me cause i dont know any further :/ Imean, is it even possible to loose shell-commands? ^^

"believe it or not, i guess i dont have a working shell anymore.

besides, when i open terminal emulator it shows me something like this in the first line :

/system/bin/sh: /system/etc/mkshrc[8]: id: not found

(besides realizing that commands like ls or mkdir or rm doesnt work either -___-)

guess its wasted .... "

thx in advance ;)

Still did not work on Galaxy Note (ROM: 4.0.4 LRT) - getting stuck at remounting system rw.

fortunately there is a backup way to root it (1st option) - a bit longer process, but works just fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bin4ry:
I have to think about it, the problem is when you "sh" is broken there is not much what you can do :/

Only good thing would be reflash the system partition, but how to do without a external programming tool ?!

Let me think if i can imagine of something but dont get your hopes up, i think the only good way would be taking it to service.

Ran the script as normal and once the terminal emulator didn't load after reboot I just manually ran the onload.sh lines with pre-installed terminal emulator and continued from there. Got lots of errors still, didn't expect it to work... rebooted anyway and bingo!

Seems to be a driver issue. Which one do you use ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jumper62:
Look on sony support.and it will tell.you how to.install it

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

URL first, then instructions

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-info.pl?info_id=878

But then i fixed it as follows,

1. You should see Sony Tablet in 'Other devices' in Device Manager.

2. Ensure that adb is killed. (no "adb.exe" process in Task Manager)

3. Double click the "Sony Tablet" in Device manager.

And follow the steps in the upcoming windows..

Click Reinstall driver No, Not this time --> Next Install from a list or specific location --> Next Click "Include this location in this search" Browse to this path in your machine, android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver Click Next

It will detect "Android Composite ADB Interface" and drivers will be installed.

Check adb devices in command prompt, you should see device listed
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] elfeneco:
Thanks for detailed explanation but it's the same.

Hey, I tried using this script on my Galaxy Nexus, unfortunately it doesn't seem to reboot my phone into emulator mode properly (doesn't create a local.prop file). And as such, I get permission denied when the script tries pushing the files into their proper places and the system isn't getting remounted.

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fham:
barqers,

This might be inappropriate as I am suggesting an alternate method, than the OP's, to get root on your Galaxy Nexus but in the interest of helping you and other GNex owners I hope to be forgiven.

Check my signature for the link to mskip's GNex Toolkit. If all drivers are in place then the whole process should take no more than 5 minutes. Keep in mind that unlocking your GNex Bootloader will wipe everything on your handset. Follow the instructions carefully in mskip's Toolkit. Always make a Nandroid backup.

Hope I didn't sound too pedantic.
