Why on Z4?
For the challenge? Then you hit the next wall with DM-Verity. Without modifying your partitions you do not get a stable and useful root.
I doubt it on Z4 since we can unlock the bootloader and get sources from SONY.

The reason I asked is I am unable to unlock the bootloader the official way since O2 UK locked it (bootloader unlock allowed: no). Personally, I'd love to unlock it first thing and get the device rooted no problem if this was only possible, though. This is why I seek other workarounds since this is my only chance to get my Z4 Tablet rooted.
Btw.
Has anyone tested the Test Point method to get the bootloader unlocked?
Thanks,
Yeah, I did. I'm currently on a generic debranded SONY rom. Still no change, unlocking not allowed, though haven't tried repairing it via PC Companion yet might be another option left.
Unfortunately there is no known way to remove the carrier lock.
One great wizard might write a complete new bootloader (a very high risk activity) that you could use. I doubt we can flash this non-existant bootloader with the software tools available right now.
Thanks very much for your reply.
Btw. I forgot to metion that I now also tried Firmware Repair via Sony Companion and still no luck
