the images look okay, here is what you can try
1. try using SP Flash Tool V5.1532.00 @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13970.html
2. unlock bootloader using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19578.html then retry flashing the dump using latest version of SP flash tool
lets know the outcome of these two
if neither of them work, you can try using the "write memory" tab in SP flash tool to flash each file one after the other OR better still, you can just flash the files using fastboot e.g
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.imgfor rooting, see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html
whichever method above that works to flash your dump, you will use the same flashing method to flash patched_boot
BTW whats the build number of this your tecno F1?

None of the first two steps worked for me. I mean using the version of sp flashtool u recommend and after I unlocked the bootloader, the newer sp flashtool gave same results while the one u recommend gave me error 1042 timeout.
As for the fastboot method, I know it will work, but my problem is that what if I enter a bootloop from flashing either a custom boot or a custom recovery, how will I be able to restore my phone back to normal since both spflashtool and miracle box doesn't work and since the phone won't boot properly, booting into fastboot may be impossible?
Pls don't be offended but can u throw more light on the "write memory"method because I couldn't find the "write memory" tab

Ok. I just found out that the write memory was a hidden menu.
On the tab, I selected recovery.img, put my linear start address, ticked my preloader on the download tab, went back to click write memory and it flashed the recovery successfully.
But B4 my overjoyed heart leads me to flash any custom file, I want to know if this process can still work on a bricked device and can this process successfully flash my system IMG too ?
I know my question sounds stupid but I just have to ask.
By the way, I thank you for leading me thus far, I appreciate. :-)

Finally I have root access! I even flashed system.img and it worked flawlessly.
You were right, the ROM backup was ok just that I will have to flash it using the write memory tab.
Thank you sir. Thanks for teaching me.If there's anyway I can help, I won't hesitate, even if it means uploading the full backup.

It's a nice idea uploading the full firmware, it'll come handy to those with brick or rooting issue.
Upload to mega.nz or google drive and drop the link.
