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 )
GUYS WE CANT BACKUP EFS FOLDER... IMPOSSIBLE IN ACE

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

Hi all,
Is it possible to restore the sms, from a backup done on the 7.5 version to a new custom version of 7.8 roms?
Another thing, is it now possible on these new roms to backup the sms on the phone?

1 Yes, I successfull restored my sms from wp 7.5 to 7.8 using smsbackup by shinichi

I didn't tryed it yet.. but AFAIK restoring a backup from a build to another build is not reccommended due to possibly differnt structure. If you'll try please, post the results

Hi++
you know ! I taste it last week :highfive:
as I know about this issue you can't restore because now your HTC changed to a NOKIA (ROM) so BACKUP methods can't find your phone and you will stuck in this ROM
But there is always a way !

Hi spider, but I understand that is a different rom version but if I rename to the same name and control the file directories I should be able to restore it.
Do the Wp7 backup do a system image or copy only data because in my case is 4gb of backup
+Hi+
My friend ,I don't know what to say , because I tried every way you think (every way !!!) until i decide to enjoy with a 7.8 rom & it's not too bad !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I think a backup copy all data (expect things they belongs to ZUNE ) and a system image .
+= size of the backup depends on your data (apps + games +images +...)
?= What method you used for backup progress ?

You can install a custom kernel and use setcpu. Make a profile of screen off and set the freqs to minimum. You can also switch to another rom. I recommend Smplicity by abhi922. You can also install Adernalin Engine. Regards.

thanks to both of you for replying. I've tried the stock ROM and it's basically the same with the battery life.
you mention above about installing a kernel, I'm really new to android and the whole OS and stuff so I have no idea what a kernel is or what it does. could you explain?
how would I install that ROM you're on about mate?
thanked both of you.

2 days battery backup isn't bad for android device..
and from my experience stock rom and custom rom gives same battery backup..
you can buy a higher power battery (which have more mAh rating) if you want better backup

I've just installed the ROM that was stated above, I've also installed a custom kernel. now it's running fine and fast. install CWM (fyi, I couldn't do it before!) and the rom, kernal and module. hopefully this will sort out my battery life.

no,
just one thing should be taken care is that the voltage rating must be same as the original battery..
we are not increasing current..
we are just increasing the capacity of battery..
which will take more charging time and
give you more talk time

Nope, that won't do the trick! Wiping/restoring to factory default state does not restore modified system files like Phone.apk in my case, it just deletes user data/cache... Fortunately, I've found the official firmware zip after I spent 4 hours searching on the web (Central European edition). After then, I've managed to restore the whole system.

Yes, I did the same thing following the instructions given above and now I don't have phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk, phone doesn't see the SIM card.

making full backup restore will again take phone FW back to JB,, so i guess saving it as last resort.
