Thanks for clearing up the confusion regarding recovery.
Method 3 - Patching fstab in /vendor partition using file manager + root access
I used 3rd method which I found easy but not just for this reason. The first one just didn't work at all and in 2nd one I didn't find the fstab.* file in vendor/nvdata which made me realise that I have to skip this step but then I thought to try 3rd one which uses a file manager which can access root directory but I was surprised to find fsatb.* file in vendor/nvdata also which wasn't showing in recovery's file manager.

Is there no any way to flash TWRP without patching stock boot first because I wanted TWRP to take rom backup without rooting first but due to this dm_verity it has become as if stuck in the date palm fell from the sky.
Yes I can backup by dumping rom but I have an old pc on which I can't trust because it can stuck in the middle of the process anytime.
And why this dm_verity has given to the boot.img by manufacturers ? Can't they tolerate our happiness which we get from messing up with our phones and is there no any way to modify TWRP so that it can't detect dm_verity ? Plz tell.

No, can't flash twrp without patching boot

when you want to backup, do so without including userdata and cache and the process should complete easily

This particular question best be referred to the OEMs themselves and no, twrp can't be modified to evade dm_verity check

Also I checked your reply given to user kolosec89 that flashing stock rom is possible if install image feature is available in TWRP, my TWRP has this feature can I install stock firmware using it, if yes then do I need to choose the zip file directly or extracted zip and if I have to choose extracted file then which particular file I have to choose in it. I don't know anything about this option because I used to think that we can't flash stock rom from TWRP because you told me that a few years ago that I can't flash stock rom from any custom recovery when I wanted to flash stock firmware in my "itel it 1508" through TWRP which I flashed by downloading from your website.

twrp recent versions now has install image feature which it didn't have in the past
usage:
TWRP > install > install image > select the particular file you intend to flash and select the right partition e.g boot.img then select boot partition > swipe to confirm the process then repeat the process for other files / partitions

note that not all partitions can be flashed this way e.g preloader and you also can't flash zip

Sir I flashed sys.img choosing system image as partition but phone couldn't boot to home screen it was stuck on Tecno logo. I flashed only system image for testing if it works because I thought if system partition has modified somehow after magisk root then replacing system can resolve the issue of installing OTA, now because phone didn't boot as expected so do I have to flash all partitions available in install image option to get expected results or the build no. of the firmware must match to the current build beacuse I flashed sys.img from an old one which is available on your website because no other option left . Also I didn't wipe any partition before flashing beacuse you didn't answer my question related to wipe section so I thought maybe wiping is not necessary .

I searched on YouTube but most of videos explain custom rom installation even googled but same results found. If I had any help from youtube and goole i wouldn't bother you again.
