You can restore the same way you backed it up or take a backup with philz recovery from advanced backup and restore it same way or if you just copied your whole efs folder, you can paste it back with a root explorer

The screen on my vibrant lost all color so I had to get a replacement from TMO. I had the "old" phone rooted but still using the stock ROM and everything else.
Is there a way to transfer all my apps and user data to the new phone? I tried doing a Titanium Backup and a Nandroid backup. I saw a thread for a HTC Hero but the file names don't seem to carry over to the Vibrant.
When putting Titanium on the "new" phone, it does not recognize any backups, even though I moved it to the ext-sd using root explorer. Going into "Batch" in TB, it does not recognize any apps other than stock. I tried moving the TB backup to various areas of the SD card with no luck. Obviously, the "new" phone is rooted".
Using Nandroid, I backed up the ROM. I can see the folder with the 5 files within. Opening ROM Manager on the "new" phone and going to "Restore", it doesn't see any backup. Like with TB, I tried moving this folder around to see if it helped but didn't.
I even reverted back to stock (again) on the "new" phone using Odin but it still can't see any backups.
Sure, I can easily re-download all of my apps but the data will be lost. I feel like an idiot with this because it sounds so simple (and maybe I am), but I would appreciate any help using noob language. Thanks.
If you have a backup of your nandroid its pretty easy to retore it to your new phone . First install RomManager . Once you have RomManager installed you should have a folder named "clockworkmod" in this folder is a folder named "backup" . Now that we have these folder we can transfer our backed up nandroid to "backup" folder . Now reboot to clockworkmod and do and nandroid restore of that backup we just transfered . Remember to also flash the correct kernel for your backup .
TitaniumBackup works the same way just install TitaniumBackup and replace the "TitaniumBackup" folder with your backed up TitaniumBackup .
Click the Thanks button if this helped you
Thanks for the help. I just needed the correct folders.
Nandroid backups from CWM recovery goes to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Try performing the restore from CWM recovery instead of ROM Manager.
Remember to have the matching kernel flashed before you perform the nandroid restore.
TB backups go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup
Keep in mind /sdcard is the internal sd.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TB backup folder replaces /sdcard/TitaniumBackup it does not go in that folder .
If it's possible to get EFS files from the nandroid backup? I extracted system.img in PC. But cannot find any EFS folder. All I have like efs is efsd and efsd30 files (type is unknown).
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately you can't as Nandroid doesn't backup up the /efs mountpoint which contains the nv_data.bin file.
if i have that files on my phone it means that i have an efs backup? the files appeared when i installed a custom rom i think or smthing
sry for the noob question and my english
Some rooms have an automatic function to backup the EFS folder to the sdcard or extsdcard, so if you have that folder inside the sdcard or extsdcard then it is a backup, cause the original EFS folder must be inside the root filesystem
Seeing the location of the files, looks like it is a EFS backup. :good:
Hello
After flashing cm13 on my s3 my IMEI was lost. Now I can´t restore my efs folder with my TWRP backup.
I have the efs.ext4.win , efs.ext4.win.md5 and efs.info files but dont know how to restore them on my device.
Pleas help me !
Should be simple: tick restore, choose backup file, tick efs. Don't touch the single files.
I tried but twrp does not show the backup folder on the sd card.
Do i have to zip the backup folder ?
As I said: don't touch the backup-files. Did you store your backup on internal storage? You can change storage within backup /restore procedure.
No i stored them on the sd then ticked restore from sd.
Now i move it to the internal storage. Maybe tis works.
didn´t work ether
Means: TWRP doesn't find the backup?
create new backup using twrp (example boot partition) and copy to that folder yours efs files backup, its should work
or try restore using other recorvery arter97
Good day guys,
I just formatted my ZTE Nubia Z11 to factory settings and did a backup before that.
I do have the backup file both in sD card and phone memory in correct file path
nubia>PIM>(Name of Backup files)
but can not see them in Nubia Restore App to restore back to my phone.
Any help???
place a backup file in nubia>PIM>*place backup folder here* using a file explorer
you are supposed to paste the folder and not the seperate files..
