  • Hi Hassan,
    this process is clear and seems to be easy to follow. I still have two questions:
    – is there any specific version of the SN-Writer for the model A3 Pro?
    – can you suggest a solution to recover/regenerate the unique identifier of the fingerprint scanner (placed on the tee partition)? This had also lost after a full flash format.
    Thanks!
