Hi! i think the title was complete question.

Thanks for you answer!

*and the model is t295 *gto* not *gtowifi*

*the tablet bootloader is unlock and running lastest update with *S6* bootloader and android 11
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lewmur:
You can sometimes install custom ROMs of a previous version but not stock. Samsung, and other makers, claim it is for "security reasons" but they stopped allowing it. People were doing it to bypass FRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] itzParsaYC:
removing FRP is not a solution.

as title say: "i want to downgrade bootloader from s6 to u3"
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] itzParsaYC:
all of users in xda and other community's say its for bootloader verison. if the bootloader version gets higher than u3, flashing is not allowed anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] itzParsaYC:
a few users reported the problem was fixed with downgrading the bootloader. i have searched around internet and found nothing about how to downgrade the bl
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] lewmur:
I didn't say it was. I merely mentioned that that is one of the reasons downgrading Android versions is no longer allowed. No matter why you want to do it, it can't be done.

Hi,

I didn't make a whatsapp google backup. I've got only a local backup. How to restore old chats using only local files?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] p.dixon0:
Hey - I just had to do similar this morning, although mine was to restore from my old phone as lo and behold, Smart Switch didn't pull everything over (did everyone else have to log in to all of their apps again after transferring?)

Anyway, WhatsApp only gives you the option to restore on initial install, so you may need to uninstall and reinstall again on your new phone.

I don't know how that works with a local backup mind, as I say I initiated a transfer from my old device which I currently still have.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] pratik_193:
Copy your backup to android /media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases

You may have to uninstall WhatsApp
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
I did it however in what's app in new phone all video and photo are not present. I got all chats but no video and photos. I coped all com.whatsapp folder to com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Databases in new s24 ultra but video and photo are not shown in new phone
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] s3axel:
Possibly not relevant as you got back the chat, but correct full path in internal storage should be : 0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp...

The images should in the subfolder .../Media/WhatsApp Images and videos in .../Media/WhatsApp Videos

You could check this with any file explorer.....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
Sorry but you wrote incorrectly or you wrote your previous post in purpose.

First you wrote:

0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp...

But after you wrote ;

Media/WhatsApp Images and videos

You skipped com.whatsapp

Which path is correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Spere:
Copy the whole "Android/media/com.whatsapp" folder, it includes chats/media/everything
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] s3axel:
As I wrote, the second is a subfolder.

So the full path for the images is:

0/Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
Thank you. Yes so I have all in correct path but still video are not showing up in what's app
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Spere:
Did you restore the whole "com.whatsapp" folder or just some subfolders? If you want to restore full backup just use the "com.whatsapp" folder, so that you include all chats, media etc.

The "WhatsApp Images" folder only includes sent and received images and leaves for example videos, gifs, audio, voice notes, documents, etc. unrestored.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] x7nofate:
Yes I did, all folders and size is the same like in my old phone
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dvhttn:
Late to this thread but thought I'd add my tuppence worth .... Tried to backup to local storage using various online how-tos that said they knew how to do so but couldn't get it to work. Probably just me not being able to read instructions but .... as I'm not rooted I just went with the 'easy' option in the end and used the Google Drive backup using Whatsapp's settings > Chats > Chat Backup - setting the frequency to 'only when I touch backup'. Everything just worked .....
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] elmor0:
Also, when you do local WA back-up, ensure that you have selected option to back-up videos/ pics (media) too (under WA settings → chats → chat back-up)

[Google Pixel 5a] Serinor:
Since Pixel 5A is continuing to receive software updates unlike the Pixel 5, and since both phones share the same SoC and the hardware is only ever so slightly different, I figured there might be a way to flash Pixel 5A's fastboot image on to a Pixel 5 and prolong the latter's lifespan, with (hopefully) minimal modification. Specifically, I thought about keeping the bootloader.img file intact while changing everything else. Has anyone else tried this? Is it something that is possible?
[Google Pixel 5a] LuckyTheCoder:
You can try the GSI version of the latest Pixel 5a firmware here.
[Google Pixel 5a] Serinor:
Thanks for your link and reply, however GSIs tend to have issues. I was thinking maybe this approach would cause less issues.

Hi.

I was playing around with adb and fastboot with my tapas (running HyperOS)

While i run

adb reboot fastboot

it should reboot to fastboot mode but but if you run this (only hyperos):

adb reboot bootloader

reboot's to a enviroment called fastbootd (it have writen on screen with blue)

whats this?

and another question. while the phone still in boot and you run this command (***while is in boot):

adb reboot

a blue line is writen on screen and simply reboots and works normaly as daily.

whats this?

i'll upload screen shots soon!
[Redmi Note 12 4G] NOSS8:
If you are in fastboot mode, the commands are fastboot.

Example:

fastboot reboot

fastboot reboot fastboot=fastbootd

[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
hey i downloaded and flashed twrp to boot_a and boot_b and now the device shows "Your device is corrupted and will not boot"

reflashing stock software is NOT an option for me as i had android 11 and i would like to keep it that way
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
download any rom you have on phone and extract the boot.img from file. then reflash the boot.img.

boom the problem was fixed!
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
wont it update the bootloader if the boot.img is from a newer software update? and thus breaks stuff
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
and i cant find a rom which i could take a boot.img anyway
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
i recomd use a newer rom then downgrade to android 11. why you don't like to upgrade? new features and better security is not good?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
in next time flash the twrp as recovery. thats recovery not boot :)
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
Whats your phones stock android11 rom's region?

i have finded the EEA & TW regions of android 11 rom
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
the phone is from and in finland
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
it said recovery partition not found

could you give me the android 11 stock roms?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
give me the buildnumber
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
how can i get it?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
i don't see any buildnumbers. you don't have any problem's with flashing custom rom?

i think this is cause by bad boot.img as you say. boot.img is bad and buildnumber is gone. good thing to think about it.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
a better solution. use this to boot twrp. then you can access to all of your data. backup it and flash another rom. your device is soft bricked because you are lucky
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i still need the boot.img and i did fastboot flash recovery twrp.img but it said partition not found

will custom rom lock me out of the stock one?

i dont have any data on it
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i did fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img and fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
i have forgotten giving you command

fastboot boot <your_twrp_image>.img
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
the problem is it. the boot_a & boot_b have difference story
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
can you provide me with the stock android 11 boot.img and rom too
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
fastboot boot twrp-3.6.2_9-0-tsubasa.img

i scared for giving the wrong build number and getting bad and bad.

i have found android 11 and 12

Android 11 is EEA & TW

Android 12 Is EEA Only.

but the problem is the download links are buyable. and i cant find another else roms.

these roms are selled in an iranian site name "IranRom" and price is 8,000 rials (equals less than one dollar. around 0.20 dollars)
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i aquired XQ-BQ52_Customized EEA_61.1.A.11.88 firmware boot.img

am i safe to flash this back to the device without breaking android11?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i think mine is EEA
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
rom's version is lower than your's.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
its impossible to flash then?

i can flash the whole device and wipe data just aslong as i keep android 11

upgrading is the absolute last thing i want to do
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
the boot.img i showed right now is not from the same firmware as this phone

its newer
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
i'll search around internet to get sure this cannot make problem
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i have rooted many devices mostly samsung but some other brands too

sony however is a completely new brand to me and im learning how things work on sony

i appriciate your help alot
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:

[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
awesome, but which one do you mean? the one you found or the one i have (which is from android 12 i believe)
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
is your firmware version (android) 12? or 11?

if 11 go ahead

or if 12 that can be risky
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:

[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
I'LL search around internet to find a ok twrp after a short sleep :). this typing are created me sick.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i downloaded twrp from their official site
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
alright i rooted it by patching the boot.img with magisk

turns out i have the last ever android 11 build on this

Xperia_5_III_XQ-BQ52_61.0.A.23.20_EEA_Android_11

and the boot.img i used was

Xperia_5_III_XQ-BQ52_61.0.A.15.45_EEA_Android_11
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
the twrp.org?

twrp.org is not updated and don't have any new phone.

better to download twrp from xda
[Sony Xperia 5 III] Win_7:
i used twrp.me
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
it was a mistake and i mean the .me one.

official site of twrp is not updated anymore.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] itzParsaYC:
flash these (vendor_boot.img, boot.img, dtbo.img) files to get custom recovery:

download from there:

xperia5iii - Browse /crdroid13 at SourceForge.net

Customized Android ROM builds for Xperia5III/pdx214

sourceforge.net

and flash it with

fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_a vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery

save this codes to a file named "crecovery.bat" and save.

put the downloaded files with file.

for flashing run.

this will flash a custom recovery and result is rebooted device in recovery.

you can sideload any roms with:

adb sideload <your_rom>.zip

NOTE: You need android 13 for this. tested over (61.2.A.0.410)

NOTE: The TWRP was not released for this device. so do not try to flash any twrp.

From crdroid13 rom.
