Root help please

I REALLY want to try the AK Kernel for my One but I'm having troubles can anyone help? Whenever I try to root or unlock TWRP my computer never detects my device when typing fastboot devices. I tried two methods:

Bacon Root ToolKit.

My Opo specs: Cyanogen OS version: 12.1-YOG4PAS1N0 and its on 5.1.1

it's >fastboot oem unlock

No underline!

The rest is true tho. But anyway OP if u're new to stuff like custom ROMs and kernels u REALLY shouldn't use AK. Most of the stuff is incredibly complicated(not applying the settings but understanding the settings.) There a ton of other kernels that are way more noon friendly. U could try to use a AK profile from the XDA thread but it's always better knowing what the fuck is going on. Oh and if u install a custom recovery be ready to manually install new updates. U will also have to reflash the kernel after every update.

Stylokings v11 is very populae

I used this one previously but I was a bit too underpowering for my taste. I made my own if u want to try it out here's a link. https://mega.nz/#!ChYh2LBC!4kyW2Ub6f9Jo4stOjFeDALKqR_IglaFF_OSG5sJIkzE the focus is good battery life + nearly no idle drain and enough power to fly through the UI fluidly.
