How to enter flash mode
Hold the Volume Down button, and then press the Power button
Unlocking the bootloader
Downgrade the bootloader & system to version B100 to be able to unlock bootloader.
1. Root your phone, you can use kingoroot for easy rooting.
2. Download stock android and recovery from here
3. Install Rashr - Flash Tool from the Play store, or download it from the internet and grant it root access.
4. Unzip the downloaded stock recovery on your internal storage.Unzip the downloaded ROM on an SDcard, or you can use ADB later.
5. Inside Rashr, choose "Recovery from storage" and select the unzipped recovery.
6. Choose "reboot" from the Rashr app.
7. After you reboot into recovery, choose either "Apply update from ADB" or "Apply update from SDcard".
8. When update finishes, restart(if it didn't already do that), enable developer settings, click on the OEM unlock setting and enable adb.
9. In a commandline run:
adb reboot-bootloader
10. The phone should reboot to a black screen/OEM image. From inside the commandline run:
fastboot oem-unlock go
Install TWRP (optional, but recommended!)
1. Download TWRP from here
2. Reboot into fastboot mode.
3. Inside a commandline run:
fastboot flash recovery [drag your downloaded recovery image here]
4. It should now work to reboot into TWRP!
