Since you already have the firmware, why are you trying to do a Miracle Box dump? Or is your build number different from the firmware?
If you're having trouble with Miracle Box then try Wwr @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html

i managed to find an alternative way to get the boot.img using the forums actually since you guys already had my firmware version and model on the site. i did the magisk thing but now im struggling flashing the file. i need a scatter file for ym device but im not sure how to go about that. I need a scatter file for MT6750T chipset but this forums scatter file storage only has MT6750 does that make a difference?

don't use any scatter file you find online to flash your device, there's a big chance you'll end up bricked your device and you need to be sure you have the correct stock rom or at least a firmware backup from your device before trying anything. thats your ticket to fixing your phone if it bricks.
check and give a reply to the question @hovatek asked
secondly where / how did you get the stock boot.img you patched from?
