Greetings,
I'm embarking on a new journey to rooting and putting a "custom" ROM onto my phone. However I've never modified an android phone, so this process is all new to me.
Obviously the first step would be rooting my phone, but from there I'm stuck. I'm using a Samsung-SM-J320A, and I'd like to keep the main features of the OS (look and data that's already installed), but upgrade the actual Android version. It's currently running Android 7.1.1, though I'd like to upgrade it to 8.1 (Oreo).
I do understand the header of the forum said "no noobs", but I cannot for the life of me find a method to pull the existing ROM that's installed on my phone off and modify it.
Any assistance is welcome. (Apologies if this is not in the right category/titled correctly)

Does anyone have any ideas? Here's a list of junk I have intstalled to help solve the problem:
Guac Recov

TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_2.0.1.4
adb-setup-1.3
Qualcomm-Driver

I don't really remember what most of these did, but none of them have worked so far.

Good morning/afternoon/evening!
I'm attempting to find and load a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (SM-T330NU), but I haven't been able to detect the device with fastboot, nor have I been able to unlock SecureBoot. I'm just asking for some guidance on how to proceed with this. I know Lineage OS isn't compatible with this device, so that's already out of the way. Feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer them!
