did you try using latest magisk manager to patch boot? did you try patching boot using a different android phone?
did you get any error message when you tried patching boot? if yes what's the error message?
(27-12-2018, 08:00 PM)Marsian8 The thing is that to flash the patched_boot.img I need to unlock the bootloader and I can't unlock the bootloader
I mean, whenever I boot it into bootloader it just shows the ' Powered by android' logo.
fastboot oem unlock or fastboot flashing unlock give the same error by simply saying failed
I can't believe how difficult this can be :/

Your phone should be running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 MSM8909
why not flash the patched boot using Miracle box @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-25473.html
I believe you have the programmer (firehose) and other files from the stock rom
(28-12-2018, 11:38 AM)Marsian8 That requires me to modify the stock rom and stuff which seems a bit too over-complicated.
Can I not just flash the boot.img without unlocking the bootloader
or maybe unlock the bootloader in some way that doesn't require me to modify the stock rom and stuff
