Important Notice
Miracle Box requires a hardware box or dongle to work. Merely installing and running the setup without connecting the hardware won't work
If you are using a loader version (no hardware needed) then your antivirus might flag it. Its up to you to heed or allow the program to run anyway
Avoid interrupting the backup process as this could cause the smartwatch to go dead
Depending on the specs of the smartwatch, the backup file(s) might be in .bin (low end) or scatter (mid - high end) format
When flashing the backup to your smartwatch, its recommended you use Miracle Box for best compatibility
