you don't need to unlock bootloader to make a rom backup, you can do so either using miracle box or wwr
miracle method @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
wwr mtk method @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html

for flashing custom recovery, you would need to unlock bootloader if you intend to flash using fastboot but if you wish to use sp flash tool or any other flash tool, then you don't need to unlock bootloader

Thank you for the reply, I have backed up the ROM with miracle box, in scatter file, I tried to port twrp with both twrp auto porter, and philz, I followed the method correctly , but it is showing that recovery.IMG not found in stock- recovery folder, I have copied the recovery.IMG to the folder correctly, I want to flash the recovery with miracle box, what is the solution? Thanks.

if you made a backup using miracle box then the file name for recovery would be recovery.bin
you're to rename recovery.bin to recovery.img (not recovery.img.bin) before attempting to use any of the porting tools

Thank you, how can I flash the ported recovery with miracle box, will the ported recovery, be in bin format? So that it will be flashable with miracle box?

Yes, if you want to use miracle box you’ll have to rename ported recovery to recovery.bin then put to a new folder together with preloader.bin and scatter file then follow the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13894.html to flash it.
