you'll need to backup firmware from your device and also unlock bootloader
backup firmware using wwr mtk @
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html or use miracle thunder @
https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-13347.html
you'll need to use a custom DA for backup, download for your model @

Happy New Year, brilliant minds!
Thanks for your walkthrough. I managed to dump the ROM using Wwr + SP Flash tool. I went ahead to patch the boot.img in Magisk. However when I try to flash the patched image in adb I get the Error "Cannot load patched_boot.img". The device is well detected in both adb and fastboot and I saved the patched file in the same directory as adb tools on C\: from where I'm running the commands.
I'm also drawing blanks when I try to flash the image using the SP Flash tool. I am getting BROM ERROR : S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND (6045).
Then tried to use the Write Memory utility (as advised by someone for whom that worked) and get Error 1002: S_INVALID_ARGUMENTS.
I'm using the Scatter file from the dumped ROM.
I request your unparalleled guidance.
Thanks in advance.
HNY once again.

Did you unlock bootloader before attempt rooting.

Yes. Bootloader unlocked already.

If you don't want to bother finding errors behind unsuccessful fastboot flashing then you can try this tool :

I'm not advertising this tool it's just an awesome tool which has also helped me a lot in such type of errors. The installation password is available in .txt file, after installation complete copy and paste your patched_boot in C:\Program Files\KKC TEAM\KKC TOOL\AutoPlay\Docs\ADB_Fastboot
After copy paste open this tool i.e; KKC tool from desktop shortcut if you've created and open adb fastboot option then try flashing, hope it will help you.

seeing as bootloader is unlocked, flash patched boot using the "How to Flash patched_boot.img using Fastboot" instructions @

Thanks X3non,
I already followed the guide to the letter. That's when I'm getting the error (Cannot load patched_boot.img).
Device is well detected (adb/fastboot).
