Hacking Section VII - Backup Essential Files | No essential.exefs file in gm9/out folder

[slyboogy27]

Was wondering if I could just use another one (essential.exefs I mean) that I already have from another dump I made off a different system I own.
Is it possible? I don't ever think I'll ever brick but I want to be sure to have the correct files in order to get my custom firmware back.

Directions are given below from guide:
"Copy <date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin and essential.exefs from the /gm9/out/ folder on your SD card to a safe location on your computer"

If you want, you can just go in gm9, sysnand virtual and copy the essential.exefs to gm9/out.

@Inthescene this seemed to work perfectly thanks for the information.

I have almost the same issue but I can't seem to find the <date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin file
