Please help on how to Root Tecno K8 successfully? I have tried every step I found online but nothing work.

I even patched the recovery.img instead of boot.img following this thread https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-gain...rk-go-kc1/ but ended up in a boot loop. I used the exact firmware recovery.img. I also disable dm-verity or Android Verified Boot (AVB) through Magisk before flashing it with ADB still not work. 

Please is there another method that works? disable dm-verity or Android Verified Boot (AVB)
disable dm-verity or Android Verified Boot (AVB)

you are to disable dm_verity by flashing an empty vbmeta first before flashing any custom image to avoid bricking ; refer to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32719.html
then try either patching boot using magisk manager OR patch boot using magisk canary. one should work for you

Thanks, I disabled the dm-verity using method two from the link you provided. I then proceeded with patching and flashing the recovery.img for rooting using this method here: https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-gain...rk-go-kc1/ and still ended in a bootloop again.

Have you tried factory reset after flashing patched?

you should read my previous reply again, there's nothing referring to patching recovery in my reply seeing as you already mentioned that in your OP

Please do you mean after I disable dm_verify. I should proceed with the Rooting by patching the boot using magisk manager or magisk canary? I'm confused ? Please elaborate more on this. And if yes, how do I patch the boot with Magisk after I have recently patched and flash it to disable the dm_verify

I used the second method (Patching boot.img using magisk manager) from this thread https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32719.html to disable the dm_verify.

flash empty vbmeta ; refer to https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32719.html
boot the phone to homescreen and ensure it can boot properly
then either patch boot using magisk manager @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html OR patch boot using magisk canary @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGLWoJ-POlA
then boot to homescreen and confirm if the device has root

If still no root by patching boot then patch recovery as explained in the KC1 blog post
