The root thread worked fine on my K7, but i have a problem with folder mount app, it keeps telling me i'm using an unsupported superuser app, can't i install supersu through revovery rather than magisk or is there a complication?

You could remove Magisk and use Supersu if you want

then root using the guide at https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21427.html

is your device Tecno K7?
You can also root using Magisk @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21427.html [no custom recovery or supersu needed]
Port TWRP for your model using the tool @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21839.html
