Everything I've read lately leans toward using Magisk for rooting (still).
It requires extracting the boot image from the ROM zip (on your pc), copying it to the phone, modifying it with Magisk, copying it back to your pc, then flashing it using ADB.
Does this process not work with your phone (it's possible it doesn't)?
Hi, I did a quick search for it and i see what you mean. Most of those site assume you already have bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, but don't even give good instructions anyway. Here's a link i found that gives a detailed procedure from beginning to end. It's from 2022 but it should work. I have done this on an old phone (galaxy A20). Make sure you backup your data. https://www.thecustomdroid.com/galaxy-tab-a7-2020-rooting-guide/ For degoogling, i would recommend looking up MicroG to replace Gplay store. Good luck!
Thank you I appreciate it!
You're welcome!
