If you are freezing, make sure you have the following...

Have a USB in the right slot. This is where the eid_root_key & CEX/DEX dumps are stored.

Way around the freeze (If you're on rebug 4.xx LV2: CEX but wanna switch from DEX to CEX)

Download (Whatever 4.xx CEX LV2 kernal you're on): You must login or register to view this content. Run and wait for the beeps and reboot, you will have your eid_root_key in your usb in the right slot and then run IDPSet and make the CEX & DEX dumps then, switch to CEX (If you're on dex)

Well, weird issue I have IDPSet v0.84 but there is no option to dump eid_root_key

Should I just use EID dumper and place it on my USB?
