Alright, this is getting silly with the errors. Let's try to bypass this method entirely and just get your device functioning again, ok? Let's get the device into the bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader" without the quotes. Every command I'm giving you here will be quoted, but don't type the quotes in. After you're back to bootloader let's lock it back up with the command "adb oem relock". Now we can restore via a valid ruu file. These ruu files are handy as they require little to no effort to use. The following is a website that is hosting the ruu files:

Go there and find the right ruu for your device. If you're having a problem figuring that out please reply with your carrier or whether or not you bought it unlocked international whatever and I'll let you know. In the event you just try one because you think it's the right one you'll be ok. If the ruu is wrong for your device it will do a check and fail before it does anything detrimental. Upon finding the correct ruu, I recommend STRONGLY that you keep it stored somewhere physical and in the cloud via Google Drive or Dropbox just in case you need it again.
After you have the correct RUU file, use adb to reboot into the bootloader and select fastboot with the phone attached to your computer (obviously). After you're in fastboot just execute the ruu file and let the computer and your phone do the work. The phone will recover itself to the stock state.
After you're stock and have the ruu, feel free to go back to modding if you feel comfortable doing so. Make sure you always backup your stuff in nand and you always wipe your data, cache and dalvik before flashing anything please. Let us know how it works out.
I would have suggest that earlier, but I didn't think using the adb command to relock the bootloader would work as adb wasn't properly detecting the device, only in sideload. I thought an error like "device not found" would be given.
It is definitely worth a try, though!

Hmm, I've never seen that error in adb before. Perhaps you should try a different USB port, if your using the ones on the case and not the motherboard they can give you problems.
If that doesn't work, try a new cable. In fact, are you using the stock cable? If your using a different cable other than stock, make sure it can transfer data as well, as most 3rd party cables are charge only.
