hey, im new to the forum. :)
I wanted to root my z4 tablet so i could use it to play nvidia shield games like half life 2 and portal. for some reason i like to do stuff im not suposed to do
but I unlocked my bootloader successfully (i think) and when i was installing the custom kernel from androplus it took like around one sec to finnish afterwards i type something like fastboot reboot in cmd but no supersu or root access i went to settings and saw my kernel version was [email protected] #141 I thin i sucessfully flashed the costum kernel but didn't gain root access. I want root access can somebody help. and i also tryed another kernel but then i bricked it. i freaked out for a bit but just installed the other kernel again. and it worked. im still using androplus. please help me i would really appreciate it!! :) :) :)

tell us the actual output you see after
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRPxxx.img
After the flash went through successfully you should see for a short time a yellow light on each boot.
Press "volume up" key during that time.
