[Guide] Unlock bootloader, get root and flash TWRP - No "Enable OEM unlock" edition

[TuxInside18]

After month of trying, I've succeeded unlocking bootloader for free (but in my case, I've literally lost 15€ with DC unlocker and downgraded firmware so many times).
I'll share my experience, saving time and money for equally unfortunate people, but first remember

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEM, THIS PROCEDURE WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY (if still present)!
YOU SHOULD STAY ON LOLLIPOP!

After this premise, let's start with the actual guide:

Step 1​

Activate "Developer Options" by going to Settings -> About tablet -> press 5 times on "Build number".

Step 2​

After enabled the Developer Options, go to Settings -> Developer Options.

Step 3​

Once there, you should look for "Enable OEM Unlock". You shouldn't find it (like me). Theoretically it should be between "Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log" and "Process stats". If you're lucky and find it, enable it, It will save your day. Then enable "USB debug".

Step 4​

Install KingRoot 4.6.2 (download below) and do the root, you should get it without problems in Lollipop.
I don't want to take care of replacing KingRoot, the root, in this case, is just for unlocking the bootloader.

Optional​

You can save your unlock code accessing device via adb and granting root permission to it.
Just do this in your terminal with the tablet connected and USB debugging enabled as follows
adb shell
and then
su -c "grep -m1 -aoE 'WVLOCK.{14}[0-9]{16}' /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 |grep -aoE '[0-9]{16}'"
You should get a bunch of numbers, they are the bootloader code.

​

Step 5​

Now, after checking with "Root Checker Basic" if root is presented, reboot (1 or 2 times) into bootloader via adb, you should get "PHONE UNLOCKED" (the bootloader is unlocked!) and "FRP Lock" (due the missing of "Enable OEM unlock" option in Developer Options). Now reboot into system.

Step 6​

Install the Official TWRP App and flash manually the recovery image linked below.

​

Step 7​

Reboot into recovery and enjoy TWRP!
