How to root Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite SM-P610 P610ZCU2CUC4

 What worked?

I mainly used the instructions in this article: https://techorfy.com/root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s6-lite/

Main take-aways:

1. The tablet/phone bootloader must be unlocked (In the developer options OEM解锁)

2. Used Magisk app to patch the boot.img file and replace the one in the factory stock AP*** file. Used Odin to refresh the files to the tablet. TWRP was not needed and used.

3. Some useful tips: To enter the tablet download mode: press volume UP + volume DOWN buttons, then plugin the power cable.
