Quick grep sources to find how vendor calls device, using some names from stock dmesg:

It seems Pop3 (5) name in vendor kernel sources is pixi35. This 3 seems to be our targets:

arch/arm/boot/dts/pixi35/msm8909-1gb-mtp.dts:22:        qcom,board-id= <8 0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/pixi35/msm8909-mtp.dts:23:            qcom,board-id= <8 0x100>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/pixi35/msm8909-mtp-smb1360.dts:24:    qcom,board-id= <8 0x3>;

Bootloader

It is usual for qcom LK but with disabled fastboot mode.
Stock firmware 01002 contain Developer options->Enable OEM unlock switch, but
it has no visible effect.
4PDA recomends suspicious KingRoot v.4.0.0.233 app.
It realy installs su somehow, but also place alot of strange files into
all places of system including read-only recovery areas.

Need to check iovyroot or rowhammer exploits, maybe it is possible to use them. UPDATE: iovyroot works fine on build 01002

Splash screen

Splash screen lives in /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash partition.
Probably it is same as other qcom devices: bitmap of size 480x854, vertically rotated and 24bit RGB888
