How to back I9100 EFS as a TAR format?Who can tell me how to back it as a .tar format so that I can flash it in odin?
... nevermind.... didn't see that you wanted .tar
I was going to suggest HC-kTool.
If you haven't seen that tool, it's worth checking out anyway. I don't think it supports .tar but it does allow backup (and restore) of the image.
Thank you sir.I mean how to backup a good efs from a good phone to repair a I9100 baseband unknown with Odin in PDA,wich format is .tar
I made the error in buying a I9100T and not using it with a genuine T carrier in australia
I just downloaded a GT-I9100_TMU_I9100BOKG2_I9100BOKG1_I9100TMUKF1 zip and Flashed it to my phone with Odin.
It was not successful in fixing my Data connection issues.
So I used Restore in CWM and restored to my 7 day old fallback backup.
But, strangely, it restored successfully to KE4, but the modem from the backup did not overwrite the new modem - KG1.
Why would the phone hold the same modem that I have downloaded in a PDA/Modem/CSC package today after a CWM restore I created last week?
There is a mystery behind the I9100T and I need it solved so I can free this phone up a bit (lot).
CWM backup does not include the modem & kernel
Just learnt this today. Check the CWM modem thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593 to see if you can find the original modem and flash it as a zip through CWM.
That explains a lot Thanks, It does restore the csc though.
I should be able to use this to advantage.
Load up a custom rom and save an CWM backup.
Odin the origina PDA/modem and root kerneland restore the custom over the top.
I will try anything to get this 9100T right, its undescribably harder than my I9000.
I ran better than this using Milkys Odexed Rom and a Semaphore kernel, those were the days.....
Hi there,
Was wondering on how could I backup my csc and modem file before rooting just in case something happens.
something like tar files so that odin could flash it back.
Not an expert, but rooting should not change that (OK READ UP A BIT MORE... You don't have to ROOT before you will be able to flash custom ROM - just use ODIN to flash new ones).
Files posted here. It it does not work, just flash back your "original" version:

I have firmware XXBLFB (rooted) and have installed a custom kernel which I no longer wish to use. I would like to restore the stock kernel which came with this firmware release. I know I could just ODIN the BLFB firmware back and then re-root but it seems a long way to go. Is ther a way to use mobile ODIN with the firmware file to install Kernel only and retain root?
Thanks.
(Yes, you're right. I SHOULD have done a nandroid backup first!)
official 4.0.4, rooted then flashed aroma neat 6.1 mod, and then only emergency calls avalible, when i flash aroma mod i make efs backup but i dont know how to restore it. then flashed with official 4.3 but there is also just emergency calls avalible, im crazy, what to do? help please?

Read the faqs and guides .
EFS Pro and other methods .
i read it 100 times, tried with EFS pro but nothing happend :/ ....can i flash efs.tar via odin???
No, try philz recovery instead. Your phone may have been on such on old firmware for a reason, usually a botched efs repair.

ok tnx, now i flashed ultima rom with mg4 modem, now iget out from factory mod with terminal emulator...how i can restore efs.tar with philz reovery???? where is the option to restore in philz?? i have latest philz??
i put efs_Backup in sdcard1/clockwordmod/backup and when i start to restore efs there is a message "nothing to restore in /storage/sdcard1/clockwordmod/backup/.efs_backup/
Try manually extracting the .tar file on your pc. Copy all the files to the efs folder aims file manager, set permissions then reboot.
im on good way, all what i need to do is restoring efs, but i cant, i tried with coping files and seting perrmision but nothing hapend :/ can you help me trought teamviewer??
You must restore the full package. After this try a hard Reset.
You must delete the old files (not more than need)
i restored efs but nothing happend, downgrade to 4.0.4 offical and restore efs folder again nothing, i send it to repair service and wait for it now
