you should be able to get to fastboot though adb with adb reboot bootloader. I also found a great step by step tutorial here. also in step 8 of that guide it says to boot into fastboot mode, I believe they meant recovery mode. as far as rooting without unlocking the bootloader, it is possible, but not recommendable. i have from experience soft and in one case hard bricked a few devices by doing so. I would suggest getting the bootloader unlocked, flashing a custom recovery, and then falshing a root package along with supersu or magisk. another way you can get root and many other features is by flashing a custom rom, which is essentially installing a differnt custom version of android, you typicall have to enable root acess through the settings and install supersu or magisk.

  • When you do adb reboot bootloader on that phone, it doesn't go to the bootloader, it says fastboot initially, then it goes to the regular system. If you do power-voldown it doesn't go to the bootloader, it goes to a recovery thing called ColorOS
