(25-08-2021, 02:35 AM)rohitrss Does this mean this tool would not work if device was updated to latest OS? I have Galaxy M40 shipped with Android 9, now updated to Android 11. Its kernel sources are also open sourced by Samsung. Will this tool be useful to port TWRP if I root my device and pull required files?
(25-08-2021, 03:05 AM)rohitrss If I manage to port any recovery, is there any way to test it before flashing it directly on device? If no, what should I do if I stuck on failed/ported recovery?

simply check the kernel version (settings > about phone) on the android 11 device and select accordingly on the tool
in order to root, you'll need to download stock firmware for your exact build and from the same firmware, you'll get stock recovery.img (in essence, you don't necessarily need to root first in order to pull "required files")

unfortunately not, if you do get stuck on a failed port then flash back stock recovery
(25-08-2021, 04:01 PM)rohitrss Cool, I found the exact stock firmware for M40. Will try porting using the tool after I download the firmware. One more doubt, the firmware download page does not mention kernel version. Is there any possibility that it will have different kernel than on my device? If yes, how do I get the kernel version of the downloaded firmware, any command or so...?
Thanks so much.
(25-08-2021, 06:07 PM)rohitrss I downloaded the stock firmware (includes 5 files), extracted AP... and further obtained recovery.img using lz4.
Launched the tool selected Qualcomm > Android 11, it shown some status and later failed with error > Something went wrong, failed to port recovery.
