Hi again everyone,

I am trying to get ubuntu touch onto a tablet. I now have a rooted zeki 8" TBDB863b for this but I have run into an issue.

I can not get into the bootloader. I have a feeling it is because I cannot enable/disable fast boot which I cannot find either.

Holding power and volume up while booting brings me to the recovery screen. adb reboot-bootloader just reboots the tablet normally, same with apps that claim to reboot into bootloader. Fastboot options is not in the battery part of the settings, and there is not a power section to the settings.

So any ideas on how to get to the fastboot option and how to get to the bootloader?
