So i tried using adb fastboot to flash my tecno k7 v180 and  This image is from my adb fastboot and it showed failed: Not allowed in locked state. I thought it was because i had a pin on my fone, i switched off the password and still same failed message

What's wrong with the phone and how did the problem start?

'Not allowed in locked state'
you get that error cause your bootloader is still locked. either you unlock bootloader using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19578.html then you can flash images in fastboot OR you flash patched_boot using scatter file + sp flash tool without unlocking bootloader

download scatter for your build number at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-20510.html OR dump firmware directly from your phone using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html
then flash boot.img + scatter file using SP flash tool at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html

Does the phone seek for permission to use SuperSU?

That means the phone isn't rooted.
Retry the process @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html make sure you use the boot.img for your phone's build.
