Have you tried installing any custom ROM on a Samsung a40? I had to get one because it was cheap, and a cursory look said it could be rooted, but when I actually tried to access the bootloader and unlock it, I was having issues.

Samsung ๐Ÿ˜ญ In old days it was easy to flash ROM on old Galaxy. But now I find things more complicated and some devices are not supported. Maybe you should have a look on XDA website or LineageOS website for support.
