Is there a working apk of the gcam for your phone?

I know nothing about your phone but you may be able to find one in XDA forums.

Yeah that method basically says you have to root your phone first. I'll be on my phone all day can't help till I get off work.

you are typing the fastboot command incorrectly:

from your link:

7.In Command Window enter:

 fastboot boot twrprecoveryname.img

• *enter the name of twrp recovery that you have downloaded in place of twrprecoveryname
• (eg. twrp-3.2.3-2-whyred.img).
