Re-enabled Soft Brick option for Huawei's Kirin SoCs (Please note that the soft brick method will only work on older firmware versions. For newer versions the most likely working solution is to disassemble the phone and use test points! )

Our newest update introduces a new procedure called Store / Restore Backup for the following Exynos Samsung phones. With this procedure you can create backups of various partitions from your device and restore it afterwards. Some partitions might not be available for backup and restore, due to the user's safety. The procedure is available only from EUB mode.
This feature is strictly for advanced users
You need to verify this backup is compatible with the device you connected (preferably it comes from same particular device) and the partition images are not tampered with.
Sending invalid or incompatible backup file to a device for restore will likely brick your device or make it unusable. Please note that it is your responsibility to use compatible files only.
