  8. The Smartwatch should get detected and a Window pop up. If you had ticked Save as scatter file and your Smartwatch supports scatter backup then you should see a list asking you to tick which Blocks you wish to backup and the location to save to. If you didn't opt to backup as scatter then you should be asked to select the location to save the .bin backup to. Navigate to the location and click Save

Important Notice
  • GSM Aladdin ideally requires a hardware box to work.. Merely installing the setup and running won't work
  • Should you decide to run a loader version (no hardware box required), your antivirus might flag it. Whether or not you heed is entirely your responsibility
  • Do not interrupt the backup process else the smartwatch could go dead
  • The backup is usually in .bin format not scatter format
