Hello,
Searched alot how to restore my efs, after checking my imi is a generic one with 0049...but didn't find any clear ones
I found this file efs.autobackup.img which most probably was generated by a custom rom with paulobrien script in link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223857
the date of file creation is just the same date of my phone purchase which is correct because I flashed in the first day so it should be a good backup (I hope)
Thanks,
Ok soo I used dd mode in terminal, waited a while until I got the message that the files were wrote but when I look in the efs folder it was only one file and ended up with no service phone. Copied back all the files and the phone is fine but the imei is still the generic 0049... Is there any way to check if the img file is ok?
Thanks again,
I backed up my rom with Clockworkmod v6.0.1.4 and when I went to restore it, it said md5 mismatch checksum. I checked in the advance restore options and it shows the default restore format is .DUP instead of .TAR so it saved it in the .dup format. Now, when I went to check up on the folder on my SDCARD it never showed an md5 file because it never created one. I read all of the " 20-second md5 fix " posts and I created an md5 file and made them blank off of a YouTube video and I also installed RapidCRC to attain md5 checksums from the img files in the backup folder to add to the new nandroid md5 file and out in the backup root folder and I even tried the SDCARD root, but to no avail, they all failed and I still get the md5 mismatch error. I have attached pictures that show my folders and files. I need some help on restoring please!

Dude, you don't need another thread for this....
Hi,
I'm new with this, and tried to update my Lenovo Vibe X2 to the most recent rom that I found... it is a custom rom, basicly the latest version without the chinese applications.
I read a little and saw some videos, to update it using the sp flash tool. And I made it... using the option Format+download :cyclops:
Now I have it updated, but my phone has invalid IMEI , MAC, etc... Reading a little more, I found some indications to restore the IMEI, but I would like some help to avoid be worst that it is.
I have an online Nandroid backup, that I make before the flash, I can see the files in Nandroid Manager...
boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, recovery.log, system.ext4.tar
So, is it possible restore the original NVRAM from my backup and apply it using the sp flash tool?
Thank's in advance for any kind of help.
Regards,
Cristiano.

Hi!
Let me try explain...
First of all, I install the FX explorer and the ROOT add on for it. I used it to explore my backups and copy the files to the root directories.
- Copy your backup to your phone (if you don't have yet)
- Enter in the FX explorer and navigate in the MAIN STORAGE and go to your backup directory (in my case the clockworkmod)
- In this directory, enter in the data.ext4.tar file
- And after that, go to DATA
- And access NVRAM directory
- MD directory
- NVRAM directory
- NVD_IMEI directory
- hold at MP0B_001 file, and select COPY option
- back into the first menu and select the option SYSTEM (ROOT)
- Go to /data/NVRAM/MD/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI directory and paste the file...
Now the IMEI was restored.
After that, you can do the same, going to /DATA/NVRAM/APCFG/APRDEB directory of you backup and copy all files
Go to the SYSTEM ROOT enter in the same directory /DATA/NVRAM/APCFG/APRDEB and paste all files.
Now you can reboot you phone and the magic comes true... The IMEI, MAC_Address was restored and NVRAM Wifi removed.
Good luck.
Let me know if you have any question.

Hi guys I have a nandroid backup files Which contains System.ext4.win(it is a TWRP backup file) now i want to convert it to system.img.
I don't want to use TWRP recovery for its restoration. Just want to restore via FASTBOOT commands. If you guys have any Ideas or sentiments then please provide the guide HOW TO CONVERT IT INTO .img file. Any help would be appreciated.
NOTE=[Please don't tell me that you can restore it ONLY via TWRP!!!!! I am STUBBORN I JUST want to FLASH this file ONLY and ONLY via FASTBOOT MODE ]
Rename system.ext4.win to system.img & flash it.
Hi guys
I want to ask something
I just backup my stock ROM using GSM Aladdin (using the read flash feature.also i ticked save as scatter) and it completed successfully so i went to the folder where it was saved (something like MT6580xxx) and i saw .bin files like boot , system , preloader etc
So my point is they are all .bin files (excluding the scatter.txt)
And i want to flash that to my phone using sp flash tool so do i need to make the .bin files to .img files or can i use directly? ? Or is there any other step ? Please help
