This was given to me today and I'm trying to mess with it to no avail. I haven't been able to root the damn thing no matter what I try. And the OEM unlocking option is absent from the developer options altogether. I have tried trick after trick, gome through step after step, and it just doesn't seem to want to let me root it. I can't flash anything on it without that as far as I am aware. The I try to mess with thw bootloader but the whole thing is in Chinese. I am extremely limited in my ability to read it. I would post pictures but for some reason I'm not able to post pictures on here anymore. But that's a separate issue. Here's some more info on the device: runs Android 4.4.2, kernel is 3.4.67. It's an iDroid Royal v7. Dunno what else I need to add, but I'll say what I can I just want to root the damn thing to play with it further. Thanks.
