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.

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 !
Is it possible to backup EFS without root. I am going to root my phone but first I want to backup my EFS folder just in case of any problems.
thanks

hmmmm, not that i'm aware of (please anyone else, correct me if i'm wrong) but i can't see you running in to many problems which could effect your efs if you're not rooted. AFAIK it only gets corrupt, via flashing roms and etc, which requires root access (again, someone correct me if i'm wrong)
yes, you can flash a recovery and back it up using that

Your question

Glebun's reply

recovery does not affect root. I recommend using TWRP or Philz as they have built-in EFS backup capabilities

I would suggest you that first root ur phone wit the samsung galaxy s3 toolkit.
This toolkit alsoo has a option to backup the efs folder at the same time.. .
Or otherwise root and download hellcats efs backup app from play store and then u have a efs back up in seconds..
Cheers...
Click THANKS if my reply was Helpful..

It's possible to back it up, but you can't restore it - So there's no point. And why don't you want to root your phone?
Download ADB and open CMD type the following into the command window
Code:
cd <Path-to-ADB>
adb start-server
adb devices # To make sure the ADB can "see" your device
adb pull /efs %UserProfile%\.Android\Efs_Backup\Efs<Type a number or something>
# Backup is complete - You could zip the folder up or something...
adb kill-server
Hope I could help!

I think it is possible. Haven't tried it before and my phone is already rooted. Try and let us know if it is possible.
Install ES File Explorer and enable 'Up to Root' under Preferences. Now you should be able to navigate till the Root folders. Copy the EFS folder to the External SD card.

You can't have that sort of problem with rooting. Rooting is just pushing an apk and a binary in /system partition. And efs is located on a different partition...
Use the toolkit mentioned above very convenient and you can backup it on your computer.
hi everybody.
I have an issue with my device, I was on the root directory and I deleted the folder EFS.
Now I have a different IMEI 04999010640000 and I can't connect to my provider.
I was looking in a different forums and they said that the imei it's a custom provided by the device and I have to use a box for restore the imei and the other things of that folder. please, can someone help me.
Can you first read the faqs and guides and use search instead of asking the same question day after day after day.
Basic is restore your backed up EFS folder .
Fail to read the guides first and no EFS backup tough **** pay for a service centre repair .

I made a mistake,I didn't wanted erase that file
anyways... there is first time for everything... Please check in your internal and external card that if you have the backup of EFS. Sometimes when you flash a new ROM specifically a custom rom, some of them backs up the efs partition automatically. so try to find out if there is any back up of efs on any one of your memory cards.

I look on my internal and external memory, I don't see any backup .
That is not good.. The only way is to send it to Samsung service centre
If my post had helped you than please press Thanks button. It might be very little for you but VERY BIG for me.

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!
* All of the above was on the previous Motherboard! *
I lost my IMEI number.If I restored an old backup that contains an efs backup,would that work ? Sorry if I'm missing something,never encountered such a problem.

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
