Error trying to use Mtk Easy SU and Magisk to access root  #221

I'm using an Android 5.1 MT6580 tablet
The Kernel is 3.10.65+ azhou
I've installed Magisk 25.2 via APK and Mtk Easy SU 2.0.0 the same way
When I press the root button it tries to root the device but returns "Fail try again" with the following in the log

/data/data/juniojsv.mtk.easy.su/files/magisk-boot.sh[13]: dirname: not found
/data/data/juniojsv.mtk.easy.su/files/magisk-boot.sh[113]: cd: /32: No such file or directory
Tried previous versions,pressing the Bootless Root button shows "Please wait" and the entire tablet freezes,I have to hard reset it with the button trick to reboot

To give you the full picture,I am trying to use root to flash TWRP recovery so that I can install a custom ROM of LineageOS to keep this old flame ahh tab running
Before yall scream at me to use adb and fastboot,I've tried my best and the recovery screen is Android <3e>
Rebooting to the bootloader shows some weird Chinese Text which is obviously not easy to navigate with especially when one wrong press could brick the device
SuperSU doesn't work either
Root checker says Root not installed

Thanks in advance to the replies,I've been stuck with this issue since 3 days and nothing has helped me so far
(SP Flash tool doesn't work cause my PC can't install the Google USB .inf for some reason)

I typed a paragraph my bad,please help me root this old Frankenstein
