Great, glad that worked out for you. Yeah, this stuff isn't really that tough once you get some familiarity and confidence.

As written above, I was able to be rooted Astro Slide on v07 without any problems, but when I carried out exactly the same procedure on the v07b, it fell into a boot loop. I cannot even power off.
I left it until the battery ran out and investigated with MTK client, the following rooted image for v07b seems to be incorrect. (Stock image is no problem.)

Writing with either FASTBOOT or MTK client,  it fell into a boot loop in the same way. MD5 matches have also confirmed.

When I used a boot image patched with Magisk v26.4 from the v07b Stock image, I was able to be rooted successfully.
For reference, I put it here.

Supplementary information.
After the battery ran out, I connected the power supply while holding down the volume reduction button, and it booted in FASTBOOT mode.
This procedure was new knew to me.
Even without MTK client, the boot image can be replaced again.
