Hiya dude I know there's a certain fw version that it'll let u adb sideload, I take your getting this issue from trying to side load, I'll have a look and try and find fw I used. It does state device unlocked: true which I did mine using an app if I remember correctly
Are you able to flash recovery ar all ??
