Stock ROM for the SM-T380 Android 9, Bloatware free TWRP backup - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series ROMs, Kernels, Recover

Since there aren't any Custom ROM for the SM-T380 I made this TWRP back from my tablet, running on stock Pie I took all the bloatware, Knox out to add some root mods, and latest updates with Magisk root with Safetynet Passing. No other personal app added

Can you tell me how you rooted the SM-T380 I tried rooting it using the 2018 guide but it's not working and I tried patching the Boot.img ( from Sammobile) with magisk but when i open the magisk app it says Installed: N\A Ramdisk: Yes A\B & Sars: no.
Or can you share the stock boot animation from the T830 since I'm not a big fan of the Marvel's avengers/iron man boot animation.

@xfk110, out of sheer desperation I want to try this. I understand why and how it should work, and I'm downloading your backup now. But a couple of questions first if I may:
1. Will Titanium Backup work with this rooted firmware? That's most important and my biggest frustration, after trying every other way described in the T380 threads, with both Oreo and Pie, TWRP or patched boot image. Nothing has worked well enough for me.
. . . My Tab A arrived with XAR 3CTH4 which meant I could downgrade it to the last Oreo update 3BSD1, and I've been back and forth between versions trying to make something work with TiBu. I'm a diehard Titanium user. I have tried 4-5 different root methods and every effort has failed somehow, if only that TiBu would not run. (Most efforts were even worse failures though.)
2. How important is the firmware version (and CSC) on my Tab A? . . . My T380 came with XAR firmware . . . Should I match the 3CSL2 version of your backup exactly, i.e., should I flash 3CSL2 first? Or if I'm on 3CSI5, would that be close enough? (I ask because I'm getting really really tired of changing firmware on this Tab lol, and I already have 3CSI5 downloaded and unpacked.)
3. You mention "all of those files" -- for a TWRP restore I would expect to select ONE FOLDER to restore from, so I'm a little confused about what you mean by "all of those files". Wouldn't it necessary to copy all of those files to one new folder under TWRP/BACKUPS/my-serial-number? Maybe named 2022-01-18, something short and simple.
I do truly truly hope this will work for me. Thanks in advance for however much you can help me understand everything I need to do to get a solid working root.

Just wanted to thank you for providing this guide. It worked first time for me and I'm very happy with the improved speed and space.
Thank you!

Hello could you please make a video, the truth is that I do not understand anything.

Can this process be done using internal storage?

No, unfortunately, this process can only be completed with a micro sd card and another computer with an sd card reader. the sd card must be at least 8gb to work.

Still works great as of 3rd May, 2023! Thanks mate.
@banistersmind @mehmeh.re I just did it without an SD card using internal storage. Works fine.
