[E6853][TWRP] Root with unlocked bootloader [ABANDONED]

[AndroPlus]

I created TWRP and custom kernel for Z5 Premium E6853.
I won't update this kernel since I don't have Z5P.

NOTE: This kernel is not for people who don't read official instruction at Sony Developer World!
This note is ridiculous, but some people don't read long instruction even if it has risk.

Download:
https://dl.androplus.org/Xperia Z5 Premium_E6853/

NOTE: You should search how to setup adb and fastboot.
You can find how to for unlocking bootloader on Sony Developer World.

1. Download Z5P_AndroPlusKernel_v4a.zip and twrp-2.8.7.0-E6853-20151122_material.img
You also need SuperSU from this thread
2. Enter into fastboot mode and run these commands in same folder you downloaded 1.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-E6853-20151122_material.img
fastboot reboot

3. Press volume key when LED is on
4. Install SuperSU zip
5. Reboot and rooting is done

If TWRP didn't work, you can alternatively do this:

adb shell
rootsh +p
./SuperSU_files/install_SuperSU.sh
reboot

Hi androplus

You do awesome work I have used your kernel on the z3 before. So happy to see you helping us out. Is there any changes or things you have added to this kernel or is it just rooted?

Thanks

Thanks, yeah I should have guessed it will be based off the z5 changlog cause basically the same except for the screen.

My Os is Windows 10 64 bit

I get this

FAILD (remote: Command not allowed)

What does that mean??

you have to unlock your bootloader first

 

[Jacob_Bentzen]

I really need that first? I didn't need that with my LG G4

 

[get2easy]

Ok i have install S1 driver, but i have the same problem as Jacob_Bentzen(FAILD (remote: Command not allowed))

You really should read instruction on Sony developer world...
If you don't read carefully, your device will be bricked.
Please don't use my kernel and TWRP if you don't want to read long instruction.

I will be rooting and flashing the recovery after work.

One question, will I still get Xperia updates for the sony rom after I have rooted and will my phone be wiped after u locking bootloader and flashing recovery ?
