Hello guys first sorry for bad english i don't know is here the question place i need a backup from EFS partition of SM-G925F from onother SM-G925F i lost my EFS partition. so is it possible to restore efs from onother phone?
You would gain their imei which is bad as would get around a sim block. Not sure anyone would give you a copy.
Next time download the app - efs backup - will save you a lot of trouble if you use it.
so there is no way to restore efs / imei / sn ? i go to 3rd party technicians and they say me only way is samsung. they gonna write new certificate but my knox i void already. so what im supossed to do
You cant do anything... Efs is the first thing you have to backup..

I want to have full backup of my phone incl IMEI efs and all
The latest official stock ROMs can be found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
so no need to back yours up - just use them.
To backup efs, just back it up with a file explorer. I tend to have a copy of it on my external sd card, just in case.
But in this case i still need to root the phone befor backup?
Also that will not recreate the partitions in case they ar domadged as in my last phone
You don't need root for any of that. As for partitions, I can't answer you, as I don't know what you're going to flash that might repartition.
At the momment i got 2 SG2
One have no IMEI no baseband problem and i do not have copy of their EFS folder and i can not edit EFS as it is constantly in RO mode. I wish to avoid this situation on my new SG2 so i want to BACK ALL up to be able to recover in case if something like this happend again. How can i fo kind of RAW one to one copy of the phone. SOmething like Clone image of my computer?

Hi guys (and girls)
I just made a wrong move on my galaxy S3 and ended up changing my IMEI and loosing my backup EFS folder in a full wipe, I know I should have known better :crying:
So do you guys know a way to restore my S3's IMEI or could you guys give me your EFS folder and a way to modify it to change the IMEI inside?
I'm up for any solution, just help me out guys, I'm desperate :crying:
Thanks again :fingers-crossed:

Changing an IMEI is illegal and as such is banned on XDA .
Repairing your own IMEI is by restoring your EFS folder .
Not some other EFS folder as that does not have your IMEI .
Only other solution is a service centre .

Well here in France the service center verifies if the IMEI on the box and the back of the phone is the same as on the mobile!
So it's quite risky for me to return it. at best they would hand it back to me but won't repair it and at worst they would take it and never return it unless i filed a lawsuit and that's costly as hell
If you have used ktool to backup EFS,you can unzip efsdev-mmcblkop3 to get your efs...It's only my experience

That's why I have multiple backup of my EFS: on my phone, on my SDcard, on my USB stick, on my NAS, on my dropbox and on my computer (one on system HDD and one on data HDD)
Now, if you have no backup of your EFS your last chance is to go to a service center and hope that they accept to repair your phone...
Is it just an issue with money if they have to reflash your phone?

Hello all!
This is my first post, and now I need your help.
I have a Galaxy SIII, but he is having trouble functioning as a phone. Says I'm unsigned.
Finding enough on the internet, I discovered that the problem is the IMEI.
The IMEI appears on the phone's settings is not the same as that described in the label behind the cell.
Searching further, I saw that it would be necessary to backup the EFS folder, but I can not find this folder, already tried all the ways it seeks, even with apps that do this but they are also not there.
Somehow, this folder has been deleted from my device.
And now, what should I do?
Is there a generic folder that can be used to retrieve the IMEI?
Please ask your help because I am very frustrated with this.

To late .
EFS folder is used to restore IMEI from a backup of your EFS .
Return phone to the seller or take to a service centre for repair .
Wrong IMEI can be stolen phone user flashing firmware or phone failure .
Try a factory reset first .

I tried the factory reset, but it did not work.
Is not there any way to do this?
just restore the efs backup you've made. if you didn't, try restoring any nandroid backups, maybe they have efs included. if that doesn't work, try looking in the sdcard for some files that have "efs" in the name, some kernels back it up automatically. use adb to view the files (Google it). if that doesn't work, try flashing a stock rom and factory resetting from recovery.
and that is absolutely everything you can do.
I´ve rooted my s3 and now is my IMEI 004999010640000/01 and after that it is not possible to make calls,. I´ve read a lot of pages about restoring IMEI by EFS back up I have, but nothing still work. Can somebody help me??
EFS back up was created after rooting so maybe that the reason, why I cannot restore (restoring works but with false data of IMEI, is it write??) So have can I put my IMEI back without back up??
Thank you
Factory reset flash stock rom that fails it is a service centre repair.
The efs backup is in tar or tar.gz format ? If yes just unpack it using 7zip and copy paste efs folder contents from backup to phone efs folder ....
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !
You only rooted? Is that the FULL story? How did you root?

You can´t just replace the imei with another efs.img , your safest bet it´s to take it to a guy with a z3x or octopus box so he can re-wirte your original imei, i have a phone with a similar issue, imei 35000000000 (invalid) that is common on modded phones, you can try flashing the original stock firmware with odin, but it will probably not fix the issue, now, if you just want the phone to recover the pin function, flash it but it wont fix the imei issue.
