worked for me with this
Reference
rootkitXperia_E23xx_26.1.X.3.xxx
https://goo.gl/cGvXSA
For BL Locked M4 Aqua
For Windows as host machine
Require ADB environment(can run adb shell)
Works on FW 26.1.B.3.109, maybe neighbor FW(for example E2303 26.1.A.3.111)
Unzip rootkitXperia_E23xx_26.1.X.3.xxx.zip, and run install.bat
Sometimes failed, at that time try more time

Try to keep your phone unlocked

Did you enable developer options and then usb debugging ?

Hello,
First enable Developer options by touching many times on build number..
Secondly enable 'Enable OEM unlock' option under Developer options, otherwise you can't unlock bootloader..
Unlock your bootloader following official way to unlock it..
Then Flash TWRP via Fastboot.. You can find latest TWRP recovery on forum..
Download SuperSU from it's own website and put it on your microsd card..
Enter Recovery and install SuperSU update zip..
You will have rooted M4 Aqua..

Yes, but still nothing.. I've done everything, phone restarts while plugged in the PC via the USB cable, and when it restarts, there's no root or anything..

I had same problems as you.
I solved it installing SuperSU from Play Store and reinstalling rootxperia again.
Usb debug must be checked.
If you want download Root Checker Basic on Play Store to prove it's ok.
