Can someone tell me how to take a reliable efs backup (on Oneplus X), from which one can restore the partitions safely in case some thing goes wrong?

you need twrp recovery(or anyother recovery) for that. Go to backup option, select EFS and swipe to backup.

You can use TWRP like mentioned before. Or if you first root your device you can use an app like Partitions Backup & Restore in the playstore . And select all things that start with modem. I can also recommend to make a full system backup before flashing any other rom including the persistent partition. Last but not least please put those backups on a computer or on a cloud device. Because the microsd or the internal storage can always be deleted by a fault.

Hi
I want to install a costume Rom on my phone
but first I want to make a backup of my stock rom (just in case)
I found a backup option in the CWM app
so i need to know:
dose this option backs up only the Rom or will it back up the kernel also?
Are there better ways to backup the rom?
in general what does the "create a backup" option do? (in CWM in mean)
thanks in advance
best regards
backs up all but not the EFS and Modem

the backup option will backup every thing on you system and data partition but not the kernel and modem..
there is no better way than this..
correct me if I am wrong:
1-the backup options backs up my data (such as save data for games) too
2-if I want to restore to my stock firmware,this backup WON'T do it properly since it won't restore the kernel

It backups everything including kernel except modem and efs. So if you restore it back you will have your stock kernel there

As Bala said Kernel is backed up..so I may be wrong here..but I read somewhere that kernel is not backed up..so anyways..you will have the stock kernel if I am wrong..
the games data is stored on your internal sdcard..so it wont be backed up..and in between if require a factory reset it will be lost..
thanks guys
you helped me so much (and fast)
and one more thing i remembered right now:
the backup will be a CWM flashable zip file.right?

To restore you go to backup and restore and select restore(from internal or external sd card) depending on where the back up was created.
Hi! I have a Leeco Le Max 2 X829, and as there aren´t any official stock ROM I wanna save a 100% stock Backup of my X829 with 16S USA ROM. I mean ROM + Recovery, just as it is unpacked(without downloaded Apps and my data).
Could I make it booting in temporaly TWRP with fastboot and doing NAND backup choosing:
- Boot
- Recovery
- System
- Data...
Any other option? All options that TWRP show? thanks!
Yes. EFS too
Turn on phone with power+volume keys.
Fastboot boot TWRP.img

Then must I choose all options in TWRP backup?
One more thing... I Will be in a booted Recovery, so original Recovery is going to be still, then the one saved in the backup Will be the booted one ore the stock one? Thanks!
If you just want a factory setup without your apps and data I would say just backup the system image in twrp, backing up data definitely uncheck .
Only system is bit to less...
I would keep the us version.
eUI is not that bad and until we all get the update to android 7 ... it s probably the best and most stable rom running.
Why change it, when the other opportunities are leading to an less smooth running phone ?
To me all the cooked roms have disadvantages.
I need to have a fully working phone/ camera /fingerprint sensor...
without option to go back to the US rom I wouldn't change a thing!

Mmm, then all options least Data? Thanks!
Don't listen to them. Back up everything. Who cares about a few space? Besides data is probably empty or with a few stock tools. Just backup all for your complete image. EFS contains IMEI and other stuff. It is important to have it. You can Back up everything, and then move it to a computer or somewhere else
It will have stock recovery backed up to TWRP and it's better if you backup as image, that way it saves the partition structures too.
Only first backup as image,to have perfect copy, the next backups you do is better do them as normal backups compressed (not image).

Hi, I have done and it made a lot of .win archives, is that right? thanks
Yes those are md5 or Sha sums, drag the whole TWRP folder to computer and you are good to go, don't change any name of any folder inside TWRP folder or TWRP will never detect that backup.
I don't know why but once I copied all except 73shf38 folder, and it turned out that folder with those numbers matter, and I couldn't restore without the exact name
Can i use nandroid backups to switch systems
Like to switch back after trying a new rom without pc
If by nandroid you mean TWRP backups, then yes.
Like flash rros and then use the backup to return to stock with all my files and apps?
Yes a nandroid backup (aka twrp backup) saves a snapshot of the system in time so it doesn't matter what you do afterwards, once you restore the backup your device will go back to the same exact spot as it was the time when you'd taken the backup. Also when you often hear ppl say take backup before trying new update/rom/zip, this is exactly what they mean.
And yes you don't need pc as long as you can access your backup through otg USB/memory card etc.

Take care to backup the system image and not system. And use the same version of TWRP for backing up and restoring. Both these are not a must but to be on the safer side.
dears, please, post which partitions to backup in twrp to get fullly restored system and data?

The default TWRP settings under "Backup" will give you a nandroid that should allow you to restore when changing roms or a failed "something" install. Generally "Boot," "System," and "Data" are what you should backup. A more comprehensive device backup might include other partitions.

Okay, thanks! That is pretty basic.
whether there are other important partitions to backup at least once?
And why system image partition is checked for backup by default? Do we need it at all? - at least for me backup even can't be finished with that system image checked. So, I unchecked it to succeed with the backup.
Take a look at team TWRP's What should I back up in TWRP?

if that system image backup reason applies to the custom-to-custom restore for moto z? -
I know that for other devices twrp (or custom versions of it) disables dm-verity check by default.
so, the question also is if that applies to moto z too?
I have never managed to make a TWRP backup that is actually bootable... No matter what combination of partitions I pick, when I restore the backup it never boots. Am I just dumb or is that a Poco specific issue?
Arey you sure you backup, system image and vendor image and not system and vendor

Thank you for bringing this up..... Never managed to restore successfully... On my other devices this is never a issue... Searched in forums but couldn't find any help.

So I should NOT restore System and Vendor partitions? Do I need to flash the ROM first and then restore on top of that? Should the restore look like this? https://i.imgur.com/QW8NmzG.png
I have the same problem.
I do not know what to select to make a backup, in my other phones I selected everything and made a correct backup, but if I select now a whole ROM of 5GB weighs 12GB
Can someone tell me that I should select to make a backup of the installed ROM with my APPS, regards

My screenshot above worked and restored just fine. Just make sure you disable any lockscreen before backing up!
