Hi there Sir/Ma'am
I have an itel a13 plus as I mentioned already running Android 7.0 on Spredtrum.I tried to root it and install a custom recovery.I failed to unlocked bootloader so couldn't flash anything.
Here's what happened -
Installed all the drivers and adb stuff
Commands works fine for ex.- reboot wipe bootloader and etc

Marked the oem unlock options from developer option
Usb debug enabled

In fastboot mode I typed 

fastboot oem unlock

And adb gets stuck showing a 3 dot
Although other commands works just fine.
I have unlocked tons of bootloaders before and never encountered this issue.
I put my phone connected to pc after that for like 5 mins then unplugged.
Something like this pop-ed up-

'Status read failed
Too many links.

Since I couldn't unlock BL,I tried 
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
command and cmd replied me with this -

'Sorry
Flashing lock flag is locked.
Try unlocking it first.'

I have attached 2 pics of this problem.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Note : I have some experience messing up with phones.So Im not entirely a noob.
I will try my best to fix it if somebody can help.
Or help me with a working rooting method of a13 plus Itel phone.

Ensure you have Pdanet and MediaTek Vcom Installed on your PC.

ensure to try all three unlock commands @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19578.html
you could also flash without unlocking bootloader using research download tool (if you have the PAC firmware for your device build); untick all files and tick only fdl 1&2 and any other file you want to flash

Thanks Sir
I actually tried all the commands.
Can I backup my whole rom or just simply boot.img using any tool?
All I want is to root my phone.
If I could just get the boot.img out I could use Magisk to do the rest.
I'm on a really slow internet now and downloading a 2.5GB+ rom would be hard for me.

Can I backup my spreadtrum's stock boot.img only?
Thanks in advance

did you get any error or stuck ewhile trying to unlock bootloader? if yes, attach screenshot of the error message
for backup, do you have CM2 dongle? if yes, you can backup entire firmware then convert to PAC and extract the pac using research download tool
if no, you can try backing up firmware using miracle box @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17226.html

and let me see a screenshot of the result

I have attached 3 pictures.
1st one is the method u told me about.
I checked if my BL is unlocked using 'fastboot getvar unlock'
As you can see the response.It showed nothing.So I guess its still locked?(Because I can't flash anything from fastboot using adb)

2nd and 3rd picture was taken while trying to flash patched_boot.img(I used magisk and patched my boot.img)
using SPD tools and it gave me that error.
I guess SPD Tools can't flash img files right?
Thanks in advance
I appreciate your reply sir ☺
