Backup TA v9.11 (2014-06-15)
==============================
New Features, Improvements
--------------------------
- Renamed 'Convert v4' to 'Convert TA.img'
- Renamed 'Checking for root...' to 'Checking for SU binary'
- When backup was made from an unknown device block, the tool will first check for the existence of '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/TA' as the destination for the restore before using '/dev/block/mmcblk0p1' as the destination. 3
Fixed Bugs
--------------------------
- Execute all Windows executables with extension to prevent command not found issues on some systems.
- SU binary check failure does not prevent the request for root permissions anymore, in case the SU binary is at an unknown location but indeed callable.
- Changed the order in which the different CHOICE programs are tried in order to hopefully workaround issues on some systems.
