Done that with three different stock fm, none of them work. Even after flashing i tried to go directly to factory reset & cache wipe, then reboot the device, still stck with that message. Knox dont allowed custom os!

u flashed BL , i was too on bootloop , ur kg status is not brokern. And why everything is in chinese u have to flash india version

here's what to do open that frp video in the original post and use that to bypass the knox check and get into your tab
It will keep on asking you to reset if that happens just restart the app don't reset it
Be quick head to settings turn on dev options and enable oem unlocking you should now have the boot menu in ur download mode unlock it from there and then follow along this guide

    could anyone build it? or do you know how to?
    Yeah someone can build it if they want to but considering it's a mediatek device and a tablet to top that the chances of there being a custom rom is kinda low so the recovery won't really matter much

    Firstly i would like to thank you for providing this awesome working guide for us to root and debloat all knox stuff successfully. It works perfectly. Although with utmost respect i would like to suggest you to make the guide a bit short and remove unnecessary steps to avoid confusions etc.

    With @Insomniac05 great help and my hours of hit and trail i managed to successfully flash magisk and remove all knox app and now enjoy the device. If anyone faces any issues, i am always ready to help. My TG : @fastboot_boot_life

    Well there's the android 13 update for the device
    You'll need to download the firmware from samfw
    Extract the files and patch the ap with magisk
    Then connect to odin on pc and flash the newer firmware
    Make sure to select home_csc for the csc field that way ur data will stay
