There's no efs folder on Ace, so you cannot make a backup of it.

efs = partition
partition =/=folder
And there is enough material written in ace forum itself about it so searching would definitely do job rather than inventing wheel right now

Of course I searched for it but I couldn't find anything... They are just saying efs folder very impt your imei and everything depends on it
They are apps also but only for higher end phones

In SGS you can find a folder, named efs, and you should make a backup of it, before you flash a new rom.
That's why I wrote, what I wrote.

"they" are not using sga..
Which developer in sga told you to do that??
Every phone is designed differently

No developer has told me anything. I have read many threads saying to backup efs folder without fail you can lose your imei and I don't want to lose mine . I couldn't figure out how to do it in sga
It'd be great if you could help me out rather than do this
@kmarci : if there isn't one then where is all the imei information stored? How do we backup it?

---

if anyone finds a safer way to do this then please let me know too...because i did ****ed up my efs files and lost my IMEI no.......... Samsung centers were not ready to fix it so i had to get local repairmen to fix it. costed me 10$

Hey guys... Great news an app called nitrality backup the efs folder
Try it out
It's just posted in the general section of sga 'how to recover imei.. ' thread
It gave a notification of efs backed up but in the nitrality/backup/efs folder its empty
See if it works for you all
(so close )

If you're smart enough to mount /efs to backup and unmount /efs the manual way , you would have a backup , but unfortunately you will need to know how to create a new partition if you lose your efs
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
