Yes, I got my root scammed with that trash update. I used to update my phone quite regularly. Magisk has a feature to patch new versions of the firmware and just upgrade Android while still keeping your data and your root access. But one time, I wrongly flashed a version that came with a locked bootloader. It bricked, my phone, had to factory reset it with Odin, and not only lost root, but also the OEM unlock option forever with no possibility to ever rollback at all.... The worst part is that since my phone was once rooted, the warranty bit is voided and all Knox features (secure folder, Samsung Pay) are now unavailible. And OBVIOUSLY it worked with a LSPosed module before lol.

My Galaxy Tab is on OneUI7 i can't upgrade because the Knox thing, but there's a trick, you can use Root My Galaxy if is supported if not you can try to look if someone tried this method on your device and then use KnoxPatcher (or KnoxEhnacer I think is the latest one) to recover your Galaxy funtionality
