Hagoromo did neither of these to unlock his Rinnegan. Hagoromo possesses it naturally. Not sure if from birth, but he didn't do anything special to get it, it's just part of the power he inherited from Kaguya.

She wasn't wholly thrown in, but it could've been expanded more yea.

His sons/transmigrants have the necessary genes, though each only has a portion. MehNameIsJeff wrote: I get that, you get his Chakra you get his "powers" per say. It's not so much chakra as it is power. Madara didn't just get the Rinnegan by having some Hashirama flesh, it took decades. So presumably you need to acquire the other's power for yourself, whatever that precisely entails. Not just as a stolen power, but actually possessing it for so long it counts as your own. Madara didn't just obtain a bit of Hagoromo's chakra, but rather his own flesh transformed such that it could produce that chakra by itself.
