Root Sony Z4 tab, fastboot command not allowed

[raffis]

Hi

I'm trying now for hours to root my Z4 tab.
I've never had problems like this with any other vendors, stupid sony...

1. Started tab for the first time, activated myxperia
2. Rebooted into fastboot and tried to unlock bootloader => fastboot returend command not allowed
3. Found out this was happening since myxperia was activated => diabled it, successfully unlocked bootloader
4. flushed androkernel v10 using fastboot
5. rebooted and run android wizard, activated myxperia again *stupid*, becauce after that the device never booted again (@see thread t3265984)
6. Installed stock using flashtool and disabled myxperia during the android wizard.
7. Tried to flush the androplus kern again, but I get alway the "command is not allowed" response. Even if I try to unlock the bootloader again, I get the same response from fastboot (I'm not sure if my device is still unlocked after gone back to stock).

Don't know what to do, stupid sony device, grml

Has anybody some helpful idea? Same Problems? Thanks!

From what I can find on XDA you've nuked your tablet.

wtf, f*** sony. I will never buy sony products again. I'm going to trash my ps4 too ^^ .

In a nutshell, I will not be able to root my device anymore?
(I don't have to trash it, it's working fine (just without root))
Maybe there will be a way without the need using fastboot to root the Z4?

I'm not an expert in rooting android's, but since flashtool in flashmode is or was working, can't I
hack it that way? (I'm not sure if it will work again since the bootloader is probably locked, at least "Emma" sees that this way.)

You simply have to be patient now until some new vulnerability in android is found that can be exploited to gain root access.
Sadly Sony is very fast to patch those. Ping Pong root and Kingroot doesn't work on stock 5.0 Lolipop that comes with Z4 ;/

I'm in the same boat, I had figured myxperia from the description of it was just another Android Device manager app. Can't disable it now.
