[Q] LG Optimus T P509 and loading a new kernel

I purchased an unlocked LG Optimus T P509 phone off eBay. Phone works fine as it was purchased. It has the stock ROM from T-Mobile and I was interested in loading a different ROM.
I'm attempting to load the kernel found in this thread but I'm having difficulty getting into recovery mode.
I'm aware of the steps leading up to recovery mode. Install z4root to root the phone, install a terminal emulator, and run the reboot recovery command. The problem I'm having happens after I type that command and the phone reboots.
I'm supposed to get this screen here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But instead I get this:
The screen that I'm getting stays there for about 10 seconds, then the phone reboots itself again and loads right back up completely wiped to factory default.
What gives? I'm I completely stuck and can't do jack with this phone?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Alright, so I figured it out.
This phone has a two-step process to loading a cooked ROM from this place.
I'm compelled to post a write-up of my experience since the information in this forum is all over the place for this phone. Once I'm all finished playing with the phone, I'll work on it.
I ended up installing a stock ROM without overclocking abilities since I couldn't figure out what was the best route to go. Later on I'll tinker with it.
This place, as always, is a great source of information. Thanks again.

Some app named System tries to connect various IPs...need help in figuring it out

I got a Moto G phone running Oreo. I have a firewall installed, and its logs show an app with the name "System" trying to connect to various AWS hosted addresses. The phone is not rooted. I am trying to find out which process this System actually is, and what is its purpose. I am trying to somehow capture some traffic and find something.
If anyone knows what exactly this is and whether I should be worried or not, please let me know.
Here are some of them:

I found some more information using logcat:
[ 10-19 17:12:33.467 1229: 1309 E/LocSvc_xtra2 ]
connect:204] connect to 54.230.93.211 failed
This is one of the IPs that System process is trying to connect. Some googling tells that this is Location Service being used probably. I have GPS turned off completely when I don't need it. I have also given access to GPS only to OpenMaps application which isn't running at the moment. All google apps are in disabled state.
I also noticed that these connection attempts happen every 5-6 minutes.
I cannot use strace as don't have root. I am trying to route the traffic from the phone through my PC to be able to capture network traffic.

Trouble with n8010 - get pit on mapping ...

Hi folks!!!
I have 2 galaxy note 10.1 (2012).
One of them had already put twrp several times and different roms without problem. Now there is no way to enter the recovery, it stays in the logo. I can not use odin either because it stays in get pit for mapping and from there it does not happen. I already tried to load several pits of this page but nothing. Also download an official rom but neither. There is no way to fix the tablet.
The other was never done anything, it was such a factory but, although it worked, there was no way to enter the recovery until one day did not pass the logo.
I have used windows 7 with the drivers, now there is no way and I have had to use windows 10 and if it recognizes the tablet but it still does not pass the get pit for mapping ...
I've also tried from Linux with fastboot devices but it does not recognize anything.
Any help ?. I know it's an obsolete tablet but my son worked to see the YouTube videos.
Attached 1 capture in case they are useful.
I've spent a lot of time with this problem and trying and reading but there's no way.
Thanks and sorry for bothering.

There is any way back to the older(older than 16.1220.1909.194) or the first fimware? I think maybe it's the fimware 16.1220.1909.194 newer than the unlock apps...I tried the ADB but cant wrrote the older fimware...
Sry for the image...looks like it can't show out by google cloud drive.
Plz help me guys.
Thx a lot.

same problem here. i tried the 1st firmware that came with it 2019 april .still same problem. this happened after i gave it service regarding a problem which is taking too much time to open gallery. they have reflashe the phone and gave to me with AndroidQ. i tried to unlock with the asus tool. it says network issue. then i downgraded to 16.1210.1904.75
and tried with no success. any help

Did you finally solved this problem?

I saw somewhere people saying to remove device pin before you try unlocking bootloader. I guess you can try that.

Anyone found a solution for the bootloader unlock?

Samsung SM-G532F Goes Dead Help!

Hi there
I'm having a serious problem with my sm-g532f, which went OFF forever after trying to flash a new ROM.
Here is what happen:
I rooted the phone in April of 2019, granted to use super user rights but the malfunction started in the midst of 2020, it started simulating back button clicks on its own. By that time I was used to flashing it with original and custom ROMS. But as I was not ok with its malfunction, I downloaded an original update which is of 2019, trying to overcome the problem i flashed it using Odin (as usual). Unfortunately, the download was interrupted by the USB cable, so the process failed. From that day it has never displayed anything.
it does not respond to charger connection nor power button press.
I tried to follow some advices from various sites from which they told me to flash it with SP Flash Tool using MTK USB Drivers. They said it would be detected but it wouldn't remain stable, they meant i would hear Windows reporting device connection and disconnection in less than 45 seconds. Yes, that happened and even now it does the same. They said the 'preloader' has been wiped, so their procedure told me it flash the preloader file first before all the rest of the files. I did it but the flashing tool asked for the 'authentication file', i searched it all around the Internet and found one with this name 'auth-sv5' in a ZIP file. But here is what the Flash Tool says back:

I don't know if there is any way do recover this device, Help please!!
