Only the court in which the defendant was tried may grant probation ... revoke the probation ... unless the court has transferred jurisdiction of the cause to another court with the latter’s consent....

Upon transfer, the clerk of the court of original jurisdiction shall forward a transcript of such portions of the record as the transferring judge shall direct to the court accepting jurisdiction, which latter court shall thereafter proceed as if the trial and conviction had occurred in that court.
