If you made a complete system / nandroid backup with CWM, then you can restore it in CWM recovery mode => Backup & Restore => Restore.
Good luck !

I backup the entire system of CWM, but after restore it without IMEI...
I want to restore only the EFS of CWM
I want to put good EFS files over the damaged files EFS, say we have not permission

my problem was solved thanks to Gowind
"Is the problem solved. If not you can use blade buddy from market. Open it, mount system RW. Then go to root explorer, extract your efs backup. Copy the file and paste it in \
Then reboot phone."
thanks to all !

in XRecovery, do a backup of your ROM, reinstall the original ROM, then do an advanced restore of just the data partition of the backup you just made. You should end up with the Stock Rom but all your settings will be the same as you had them when you did the backup. You'll also keep all your apps, messages and such this way.
Ok I installed the rom again, then gapps, hotfix and then I was clicking in the Advenced Restore and there are : System restore, Cache Restore etc. I got click only data, but what with these last, only data ? Or I must restore some other things ?.

Just "Restore data" and you'll be ok.
Ok, but what was saved in the ( system restore ) function. ?

You first did a backup in XRecovery. XRecovery would have did a complete backup of your \System, \Cach and \Data partitions. Since you only want to restore the \Data partition you go into Advanced Restore, select the backup you just did and then select Restore Data.
Yes, but when I not restore the system, then what that will do, will I have an error maybe ?

Hi,
Be carefull making efs backup. Unfortunately, I clear the "efs" the folder when I wanted to do a backup (using terminal emulator), and now I have no phone.

efs folder keeps overwriting with generic IMEI

Hi all, I have a galaxy s2 i-9100 which is rooted and running Cyanogenmod 9.
Unfortunately I managed to somehow corrupt my /efs folder and my IMEI number is now the dreaded 004999010640000. (I cannot make any calls or access my mobile network)
In the process of screwing up my /efs folder i also lost the entire contents of my SD card that stored my efs backup.
I do however have a backup of my nv_data.bin file stored on my computer, which I placed back in my /efs folder, deleted the backups etc, rebooted my phone, and it restored my IMEI.
However, as soon as I reboot my phone/switch it off again, next time I boot I'm back at square one and have lost my IMEI number.
Is anyone aware of any way to stop this from happening - or have I got to live with this forever? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] Besides EFS backup what else?

Before Installing Recovery / Rom what should be backed up (except personal data) ?
I heard EFS should be backed up and made into several copies.

you are right.
First thing after root = backup your efs folder
Then after you got a custom recovery, making a nandroid backup is always a good idea.
and yes personal data is also good to be saved.
in addition i highly suggest you to read the stickies
after that happy flashing :laugh:

Well I rooted the device.
Used kTool(Verification screenshot: http://oi57.tinypic.com/s2gl01.jpg) to backup the EFS, got two files: efs.IMG & efs.tar.gz one is 20MB the other is 0KB this is normal? Cause the verification said there's an error of some sort..
I have SuperSU as Root controller, this ok?

Last time I did that somehow ****ed my phone up.. Not going to try. Also last time I lost my IMEI & Serial using the backup that I made via kTool restored it properly!

First what version of TWRP you have ?
Second read this little thing from droidviews : http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-efs-data-on-nexus-5/
" 1.Boot your phone into recovery mode.
2.Tap the “Backup” button.
3.Then check the EFS option in the list.
4.Finally, swipe the confirmation slider.
5.Reboot the device.
6.To recover the lost EFS , you can select “Restore” option next time. "

I'm sure I backed up efs when I made the backup because the efs folder is there and has a tar file.If I restored the backup would that restore efs too ? if so,twrp won't display internal SD content when I choose restore for some reason...

Try moving your backup folder in internal storage then restore your efs if this is possible
