Samsung SM-T211: Checking PIT partition - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

*Current behaviour of the device*
When trying to power it on, the device displays several text, it looks like it's debugging itself:
{
"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"
}
Now, while this device displays this texts, I push the following button to get to odin mode, "volume down+home+power button". It should have displayed a warning about entering odin mode, (to which pressing volume up continues going to odin mode and volume down cancels it), but it displays nothing-just blank. But even though it displays blank, I pressed volume up, to which I got then to odin mode.
Now, I have already downloaded the firmware for this device. I have attached BL_*tar.md5, AP_*tar.md5, CP_*tar.md5, CSC_*tar.md5 to the fields of odin, and unchecked "auto reboot", but then itt failed to flash, Odin failed writing the PBL.bin from BL_*tar.md5, but this failure did not gave me up!
AP_*tar.md5 consist of:
boot.img
NVM.img
recovery.img
system.img
I have extracted the files from AP_*tar.gz and tried flashing each of *img from it.
Extracting system.img from AP_*tar.md5, compressing it with `tar` and flashing it returned success from odin but it did not saved the device. No good news.
Extracting NVM.img from AP_*tar.md5, compressing it with `tar` to `NVM.tar.gz` and flashing it returned success from odin but it did not saved the device. No good news.
Other *img, (boot.img and recovery.img) failed to flash.
As a last resort, I would like to write a firmware that displays, "Hello world".
If you find ambiguities in this post, feel free to write.

On a side note: Is there a post about compiling boot.img, system.img, recovery.img?

Can't flash any img file using fastboot to root

As flashing frp.img: FAILED (remote: 'Requested download size is more than max allowed)
As flashing rooted-boot: FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links)). It shows "press any key to shutdown" on my phone screen, even I enter the command at first, plug the phone then, or do both at the same time.
By the way the original fastboot shows the product name is g7ulm, but LG's official website says it's a sprint version according to my fastboot device-id.
Could you tell me what should I do if you knew the right way? I've been stucking here for a long time.

Do you have the latest android platform tools (fastboot) installed?
For my phone, for root, you install magisk app.
Put stock boot.img on phone sdcard
In magisk, click "install magisk".
Choose patch file. Select your boot.img.
Patched image will be in download folder.
Put patched image on pc and boot to fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched***.img

Custom ROM for Huawei y6 (2018)

I unlocked the bootloader of my Huawei y6 (atu-l21) 2 days ago. Now the problem is that I can't get working custom roms for twrp.
I had downloaded many .ZIP files but the zip file always contained only one image. When I wanted to download the ZIP file via twrp bottles, I always got a red message "invalid zip file format!
Does anyone have working custom ROMs for the Huawei y6 (atu-l21)

By you meaning by one file contains img file, you are trying to flash compressed gsi/treble image.
The installation procedure is different for treble devices. Instead do:
First you must uncompress it & do "adb reboot bootloader" & "fastboot flash system [UNCOMPRESSED_IMG_FILE]", wipe data by "fastboot -w", final reboot ur device "fastboot reboot"
do you think I should e.g. extract the customrom.zip to customrom.img and then the image with the commands Flash
Yes, Only if zip archive contains one *.img file like aonly, ab... etc
can I also flash the .IMG file via twrp. because when i try dan i don't know which partition to select.
System-Image
I just tried it and the message "Image is too large for the device" appears
You may read THIS POST about your device custom rom.
And if ab image doesn't work for you try aonly

Where to get a good persist.img file from?

Im once again into this typical "I bricked my phone and spend endless hours searching for tutorials and hoping that something work" stuff. This time I broke my persist.img and noticed something strange:
There are dozen of tutorials which state that one should download a clean fastboot rom to extract the persist.img (".\images\persist.img") from the image folder and flash it either using recovery or fastboot edl in combination with a modified rom to only flash this partition.
Now I noticed that the persist.img partition is pretty empty for most Xiaomi stock roms:
{
"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"
}
In comparisation the persist partition I extracted from a friend who luckily got the same phone:
How is the above persist partition from the stockrom supposed to help someone when there are just empty files? Atleast for me it didnt bring back the sensors when I flashed it. On the contrary the persist partition from my friend fixed everything.
If the persist file of every stock rom is empty beside a few zero byte files the conclusion would be that the only way to get a working file is to get your hands on a unmodified one from someone else.
Or is there some magic that will enrich the partition with new files as soon as you boot the stockrom for the first time?
How come there are so many tutorials saying that one should flash this partition from stock?
are you sure you have downloaded a fastboot (TGZ) rom and open the TAR file?
