Just backup the userdata partition then mount userdata using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-26809.html and extract your files.

you can try flashing twrp recovery.img using fastboot instead of sp flash tool OR if you want to use sp flash tool, then make a duplicate of your full rom backup then copy twrp recovery.img into the rom backup folder and replace the existing recovery.img >> then flash using firmware upgrade

PS: if your userdata is encrypted then twrp really can't help you because you need to format /data to decrypt it

you can try it out on an encrypted userdata backup yourself and find out the outcome

this alone already tells it won't work and there's no pulling anything out of the backup, twrp wont help you either as it requires formatting /data
last you can try is to look for the exact firmware build number that your phone is running on and flash (boot and system.img) from the firmware and if your userdata partition itself isn't corrupt then your device should boot fine as it was before if not then you're going to do away with the old backup

my phone is not working as of now, i tried to flash system.img, but it stucks at 3%, so that i have given mobile to service center, they are saying like hardware issues. so is there no use of my full rom backup. what can i do now, i have lot of important datas are there in that backup.

attach full screenshot of the flash tool and the error message
what are you flashing? system.img from stock firmware or from your backup
if from your backup, when did you make the backup before or after it got bricked?
in the event of next time, you should always keep a second backup of your "important data" elsewhere asides from your phone
