Hello,
I would like to downgrade a Lenovo Tab M9 (TB310XU) from Android 13 to Android 12. 
In the factory rom image of Android 12, the scatter file and some other files, don't have the usual .txt extension but only .t and the files do not contain the usual scatter map in plain text but are somehow binary files or encrypted. I can not use these files with the spflash tool.

Is there any way to be able to convert these files so that I can flash the rom image to the tablet?

Thanks for any help.

They are not encrypted in any way, the file is corrupted.

The scatter file in the attachment, when you flash, don't forget to select Firmware Upgrade, if you choose Format All + Download, you will delete nvram and lose imei and mac addresses, wifi and bt.

Thank you for your reply.
Weird all images are from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/len...9/TB310XU/
I used to download images from there that worked fine. All other Images that I found online on other websites have the same corrupted scatter files for this model.
As I've got an image of Andorid 13 that has plain txt non corrupt scatter files, is it possible to put these scatter files in the folder of the Android 12 Image to replace the bad ones and flash it without preloader with spflash tool?
Thank you for any hint.

Yes, it is possible to replace the scatter file with the functional one from Android 13, there is no difference between them.
