Does this tablet / phone have an MMC slot? For example, on all
Allwinner tablets it is technically possible to use MMC pins for UART
via a different non-standard pin mux setup and a breakout board:

Also are you sure that there are really no UART pads on the PCB to
solder some wires if you disassemble your tablet / phone?
