There seem to be many ways to back up your EFS, which is the preferred method and easiest to restore if anything does go amiss? Or is it best to use a couple of methods just in case?
why did you post a question in this section?
Use all of them. Many backups better protection

Can anyone give me there favourite method or is it belts and braces and use everything? When I root again i was going to use goomanager and install TWRP does this also backup EFS?
Root your phone, navivate to /efs folder and backup it to external sd card

so a simple copy and paste would restore my efs folder in the event of a mishap?
Go to the market their are a number of tools or go to the faqs and guides .
Many custom roms now backup EFS on install .

Thanks. Guys. I want to make sure ive got everything covered before I flash a ROM. I know it may seem a bit excessive but I like to be prepared.

Not excessive just unusual most noobs just blindly ignore all the instructions .
Suggest you also copy the backed up EFS to your PC for double safety .

Ok. If I may ask another question.
Im ready to root using cf auto root. Then I back up efs using efs pro...
Then I install goomanager and flash twrp recovery. Can I then use this to back up efs again? Whilst rooted I also browse ro efs folder and copy it to hdd for safe keeping.
After this I can flash a ROM safe in the knowledge that my imei is safe.

So after seeing ppl was loosing there IMEI on there S III i also lost mine,But for any help this may be mskip put out
SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 QCOM TOOLKIT using it while being rooted he has a option to backup your efs files with IMEI in a .tar file that you can restore so this may be a great idea to do before flashing roms.Make sure you do your backup and be sure to give him a THANKS for this great program.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665

Your right after opening the backup file it backed up everything but in the IMEI folder it just said ATT so i do apologize,but its still a good program :good: now to figure out what caused it the last thing i did was used terminal emulator for the CWM Touch.but thanks for the update.
If anyone agrees here who can download a game and then backup through titanium backup and then give me the file plz

If you don't have root, what good will the backup someone gives you do you? You would need Titanium Backup of some form to restore the file, and it requires root for the non-pro version too.
Besides, this sounds like a shady attempt to get a paid app for free.

Its not worth wasting your time over.This all stems from the OP not being able to root his phone/upgrade to ICS.Hes had 6 guys advising him.....and still no joy.
If someone cant do something for themselves,then they can always pay someone that can do it.
You wouldn't need titanium to restore cause you can just use the apk to install on any phone. Normally requests like this are eiter
a) No market access from the users locations
b) getting hold of no purchased software to remove license verification.

Kies works only on Samsung based ROMs.
You would've known this if you read and followed the first rule of XDA.

Use titanium......in future!
If your back up is on Kies then you will have to go back to your stock Rom I'm guessing, then Kies will recognize your phone.
Why anyone uses Kies is beyond me

Titanium backs up all of that, actually
You are asking ??? can you restore a Kies backup by a means other than Kies ???.
If so try Google search or the Kies forum .
I never use kies .

Sorry but it is not possible to restore files from a full-wiped S3 since the data partition is for multiple reasons no longer an additional fat32 partition but piggybacking in the system's ext4.
However I want to point out that a full-wipe is only done on the stock recovery, not when using Cwm.

Hey all
So I was wondering if I can explore files, pics, music from an un-rooted password-protected phone?
I presumed I can do that by flashing a CF-ROOT then opening recovery and mount storage!!
Is that possible???
