I used the EFS Backup tool to create a backup. Now I need it, but can't restore.
It won't find the backup. Anyone have any suggestions?
Resolved. Not sure how, but back to normal.
All I was doing was making a nandroid backup via CWM and when I rebooted my IMEI was unkown and I had no radio function.
Reboot. Shut down. Start. Nothing.
Tried to restore, but the EFS Backup Pro tool could not see my backup (not sure why).
Saw no progress in the restore other than the notice that the restore wasn't found.
Rebooted, radio working. IMEI restored.
Made a new backup, just in case.
Okay, so I've had it happen again.
Should I use EFS Backup Pro to reformat and restore my EFS?
Sorry, I don't have your solution.
I just want to say: Hope you can solve it fast and definity!
Seems to only happen when the device is rebooted while connected to the charger.
If you can get your phone back up and running again like before then Id go to the link below and backup your EFS folder.Do both types of backup,save to SD and PC and then might be a good idea to follow the instructions as to doing a wipe and then restore.But do both types of backup incase one of them gives you problems when you try to restore.better safe than sorry.

I made both backups after I was able to get it running with my IMEI and modem functioning.
Cleared cache and Dalvik and reflashed the kernel also.
If I have the problem again, I'll do a wipe and manually restore everything.
I'll keep the thread update, just in case this happens to anyone else.
Are you using a Custom ROM?
No. Stock KK5. Have not had the problem since.
Mate thats not good from a stock firmware.maybe you it would be a good idea to flash back to a previous one to see if it still happens if this has happened since you changed to KK5.Possible bug,and a big one too.Id flash back to your previous FW then root and do a full system/cache /data format to clean up the device just in case and see is it still happens.
When you get it working again try Hellcta's kTool.
Among other things, it can backup and restore EFS folder.
2 backups .tar.gz & .img saved directly to sdcard & can verify the backups too.
Hi everyone, I recently had problems with my SGS3 and had to factory reset. Before I did the factory reset I did a full backup in Kies, and it completed everything but then hung backing up text messages, the last thing on the list. I had to cancel the backup but I noticed the information it had backed up was still there, so went ahead with the factory reset.
Unfortunately, although the backup data is there (with the exception of text messsages, which I don't really care about), the actual .sbu backup file that Kies needs to restore a backup isn't there, as I'm guessing it's the index of the backup which would have been created if the text message backup hadn't hung. Is there any way to easily restore the backup without this file?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give!
After factory reset then restore automatically my data?
Plz help.i know use backup app restore.

So guys, I wiped my OS installed the ARHD8 Rom which is excellent but if I want to do a factory restore the data does not exist.
Is there a restore out there or can I create my own.
I've got tarp recovery and titanium backup installed bit don't know what to do!
All I know is I want the option of factory restore if I ever need it.
I need to do a factory reset to see if it fixes the current update issues. (Audio)
