Hi,
I am trying to restore my backup file. It is showing that the backup file is damaged.
The backup file is a recovered one. I has deleted it from my sd card and then used a software to recover it.
Is there any way to restore the backup?
Thank you.

If a file is corrupted, then there isn't much you can do. Sorry.

Will using the nandroid backup also act as an odin? Restoring and deleting everything? Basically will it delete everything on the phone and restore it to my backup as if i was using odin to do it?

This is true. Think of it similar as Windows system restore feature. Remember that all data on your internal "sd card" and external sd card stay the same.
Hi all,
need to ask a couple of questions regarding the EFS backup.
1) If i use the kTool for EFS backup and do a total wipe before flashing custom ROM, (mounts and storage>format system) will the EFS backup also get wiped out? My common sense tells me yes since the internal SD will be wiped out and kTool saves the EFS files on the internal SD but just want to be sure so that i can search an alternative method for backing up as i want to flash custom ROM with total wipe.
2) Does the EFS Pro app save the EFS backup on the internal SD only or does it have an option to save on ext SD card?
3) Do i just have to be rooted to backup my EFS files? Im just asking as im terribly obsessed my EFS files will get corrupt while rooting the phone! Is there a simple way to backup my EFS files on my ext SD card without root?
4) Can my EFS files really get corrupt just by rooting my phone?
Thanks in advance for any feedback

I know nothing about EFS backup but how about this. I assume you have access to a PC and the usb cable that came with the fone. Or else you do have a microsd card in the fone. Why don't you do the backup and copy the files to either the microsd card or a PC. That way you know you have a backup you can use.
In most cases, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the format system will not touch your backups.

Yes very true, i can also do that and it also crossed my mind but im afraid that by doing so, copying the EFS files and folders onto a PC or directly to the ext SD card will alter the files and folders in a way that they cannot be restored and i dont want to take that risk unless im totally sure of what im doing or if this can actually be done.
Thanks just the same for ur feedback
Ok so I just found out that with EFS Pro I can backup on my pc safely. Do I need to be rooted to use this app and safely backup the efs files?
Thanks

Hello.
When I made a backup with TWRP I saved it on my PC.
Since then I have re-flashed TWRP.
Now under the TWRP folder there is now backups folder, or the one with the code after it. There is only the TWRPS File. (Small text file)
I need help as I need to restore back to this backup!
Many thanks.

Move the file from your pc to your phone. If you have an external SD I'd definitely recommend you put it on the external SD instead of internal

Hey guys. My efs is corrupted after I tried to restore the whole system from twrp from my external sd card. I can´t do anything with my phone (no format,no wipe...etc.)
Could anybody with a SM-G950f create a backup of the efs section with twrp and send it to me? This question may sound weird, but I really think that could help me to restore my corrupted/deleted efs folder..
Thank you so much
