Samsung SM-G532F Goes Dead Help! - General Questions and Answers

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:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

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

[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.

[Q] Unbrick LG Mach/Cayenne LS860

Has anyone had any luck unbricking an LG Mach LS860?
It all started when I used Titanium backup to remove some Google bloatware, i.e., Books, Magazines, Music, and such. I restarted my phone, only to get the dreaded "Security Error" screen and nothing else.
I have scoured the net, including these forums, downloaded and used lots of tools, but come up with error messages.
Using KDZ, I have ended up with errors like "Load Library (126)", "Extraction error", and "No Phone Found."
With the LG Mobile Update Tool, I keep getting the "necessary information not found" error.
SmartFlash is unable to automatically recognize the com port to which the phone is connected.
I swear I've got the correct dll and cab files for my phone.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Mine will not get past "READY!!" in the lg flash tool. Mine is not bricked but it will not update and nags constantly about updates it refuses to install. I've set the com port to 41, used the mega DLL, used all different driver versions, nothing...

I followed the instructions. Even waited 5 seconds to connect the phone after pressing the arrow.
But now Im stuck on this error. I tried 3 PCs but same result. Any advice?

Noob in need of saviour - Z3 softbrick

Hi all,
Scoured the forum for a while but, to be honest, I didn't even know how to search for my issue. Please feel free to redirect me to another thread.
Two problems.
1.
Tried to flash Cyanogen to my Xperia Z3. Unlocked bootloader and tried to do something [enter technical word, flash maybe] a root img file. This soft bricked my phone, took it to a shop, they said it's dead, bought another one. Is this salvageable? More details: Followed instructions here, got to "fastboot reboot", (flashed a cyanogen nightly) then phone only made it to the Sony screen on startup. Then followed these instructions to flash moonwalker but the result was a soft brick (try to turn it on, one lifeless vibration and nothing). Didn't root it beforehand (yep, idiot). I've heard you could flash an older ROM, but this leads me to the problem below.
2.
New phone. Looking to root it. Using flashtool and an ftf (D6603_23.0.A.2.93) downloaded here, but when selecting firmware, the file ftf appears to be empty. I imagine flashtool has undergone cosmetic surgery (update) as it appears to be different than other pictures, or perhaps I'm missing something glaringly obvious?
If anybody with a bit of free time has a moment to help me out, I'd be very grateful. Many thanks.

Not sure the image is working and not able to post external links. To explain it, the firmware appears (and is the correct model), but all other boxes (content, wipe etc.) are empty and the flash button is greyed out.

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.

Sticky Recovery

Hey everyone,
I have this issue with my device hopefully you know something about it: a while ago I rooted it, got Magisk on it all that. The device was just out so updates were still coming strong--or maybe I payed more attention to them than I do now, IDK--the case is that I accepted one of them and it undid the root and updated MIUI to something-something, regardless, since then I'm unable to flash a recovery image.
I thought the partitions got messed up or something and flashed the official system with the official Xiaomi spyware/adware suite "tools" hoping it would rewrite what needed rewriting then I tried flashing the recovery (TWRP) but no luck.
I'm using the XiaomiADBFastbootTools Java applet. It seemingly flashes the thing successfuly then it boots right into the system again, not in recovery. If I use force a recovery reboot through adb or with the buttons (which I've already forgot which were) the recovery the comes up is the official one, not TWRP.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Every time finishes "successfully", then the device reboots taking just tiny bit longer then I see the MIUI logo with the sort of paint-spill animation covering it and then I'm back on stupid Mars again (the stock pseudo-interactive wallpaper). Not even my information is lost--not that I'd want to, but at least it'd be something.
Since I removed most bloat the phone became pretty much useless and I wasn't even thorough because there's stuff that just can't be removed. Rooting would allow me to get some utility back out of it. Can it be fixed at all??
