I have done extensive due diligence but there are a dozen conflicting posts on XDA covering how to go about this. Off of XDA are just a million sites with AI generated copy that's absolutely incorrect.
So, I have a new Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. I want to root it and have the superU app, etc. and I will then de-google it.
So, like I said, there's a ton of conflicting methods listed. Also, many provide instructions like "Now flash the device," or "put it in xyz mode" but they don't actually say how. Instructions are supposed to be instructive, not referential.
I'm not incapable; far from it. I rooted my Zenpad a few years ago. It's just I had comprehensive directions.
So, would anyone be up to the task? I'm offering $20 because I know this is a bit of a todo and I respect the value of your time and effort.
Thanks, all.
P.S. I should first make sure, rooting does not preclude keeping updates, right? If it would prohibit updates then I think I might not want to do it.
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.

For degoogling, i would recommend looking up MicroG to replace Gplay store.
Good luck!
