to root, you're going to need either boot.img or recovery.img.
Since you don't have the stock rom, I suggest you either search for it or try dumping your phone's rom using wwr tool at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html

Where did you get the boot.img you're trying to flash?
Also, follow the link @hovatek's reply to dump your current stock ROM.

I got from Update.zip when the tablette has an update I've flashed both stock recovery and boot imgs via fastboot with no problem but it wont flash patched boot

verify the chipset of your device using the app @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13054.html
also attach a screenshot of the error message you get when you attempt flashing patched_boot

the error msg:

C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

I suggest you first try backing up your current firmware before you proceed. If you can't find your chipset in wwr tool then add it
