Connecting my phone to a non-smart tv

Hepativore

I have tried looking around the forum, but I did not find anything on this specifically.

I have gotten a deGoogled Pixel 6 Pro with Graphene and Magisk installed on it after my deGoogled Galaxy S10 finally died.

I am currently trying to connect my Pixel 6 Pro with my old non-smart TV with my USB-C to HDMI cord like I did with my S10. The problem is that I do not seem to get a picture by doing so. I know that there are USB-C to HDMI cords specifically for the Pixel 6 Pro, but they are expensive, so is that actually the problem?

Going the route of screen-casting, I never had any luck with screencasting adapters for my TV as they all seem to refuse to work with rooted phones, be it Chromecast, Anycast, etc. Are there any devices for screencasting that do work with rooted phones?

What would everyone suggest for connecting my phone to my TV?

Unfortunately display out was blocked hardware-wise in all Pixels before 8th generation or later. You're out of luck here for cables, but might find a workaround with a streaming solution (such as a chromecast o fire TV stick or your own media center built from a raspberry pi).

Every time I try using a Chromecast or similar device it says "no devices found" or it disconnects immediately. There seems to be something about rooted phones that most casting devices hate.
