Dear Mohhamed,
I have Gratel A7, I do not know how to unlock bootloader. I wrote some Gratel sites, But nobody answered me. I do not even know if it’s unlocked bootloader, I do not know how to get in fastboot, I know how to get in recovery.
I know your further procedure because I worked on Xiaomi.
Please help me.

Finally I succeded into flashing the TWRP recovery! It seems that the trick is to reboot into recovery mode after TWRP flashing, WITHOUT ever booting in normal mode! It seems that if you boot in normal mode after TWRP flash, something restore the stock Recovery.
So the procedure is: poweroff the phone, execute SP Flash Tool (I used the GNU/Linux 64 bit version), load the scatter file and the TWRP recovery.img, click the Download button, connect the phone with the USB cable: the flashing starts automatically and succeed in a few seconds. Unplug the USB cable, start in Select Boot Mode Menu (pressing Volume UP and Power for some seconds). Then boot directly in recovery.
Once started TWRP recovery, I installed the SuperSU. After a couple of reboots required by SuperSU, I have a rooted phone with TWRP installed permanently on it.
thanks! finally it worked out with your advice.
