{{success|text=Your NAND backup has been successfully created. You can find it in <code>/gm9/out/</code> under the name <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin</code>, along with its accompanying checksum (<code>.sha</code>) file, as well as <code>essential.exefs</code>. You will probably want to back up these files to somewhere safe, then delete them from your SD card to reclaim the space.}}
