Hello Guys,
Any idea, if we have any Alternatives to Nandriod Backup?
Drawbacks of Nandriod Backup as I know:
1. It does not backup EFS binary/image which contains IMEI details
2. It does not backup Modem binary/image which is useful to camp to the networks
FYI: I know there are tools like EFS Pro and kTool to backup EFS
I wonder if there is any tool which can dump my entire ROM's partition on to sdcard "as it is" and re-storable using CWM.
In addition to backing up the entire system, I'd like to be able to back the imei info separately like the efs directory on my captivate before flashing. Any idea what I should do to backup those info? Thanks!
Unnecessary. This isn't Samsung so flashing custom firmware won't delete your imei.

You never know when an EFS backup may be needed. There have already users with messed up devices where an EFS backup would have saved the phone.
EFS Backup script - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161611
Restore commands also included.
As the title suggest. I need to recover the imei and such but with no backup am i screwed ???
Hi!
Today i will switch from HTC One S to an I9300.
Can i Backup and restore the EFS Partition with TWRP and do i have to restore the EFS Partition after flashing a custom rom?
On my One S i´ve deleted all partitions and the flashed a custom rom but on that phone i did not have to backup any efs data.
thx in advance!

You can backup&restore /efs with TWRP.
You should only wipe partitions, offered in TWRP, before flashing another rom. You mustn't restore /efs afterwards. Generally avoid any actions on /efs /dev: high chance of brick of losing your IMEI.
I've seen that there are different tools for backing up EFS partition but using TWRP looks like the easiest way to me....
Afaik these tools don't store anymore than TWRP. So keep it easy. But forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56492632&postcount=15 @billa says, that this is no 100%-insurance: IMEI would be saved in dev-partition.

Do you know how to regenerate the efs? I´ve lost it and now i have a corrupt IMEI.
No. Too few details.
First, search in Q&A for it.
Hi All
I was seeking for the answer to my question, but i couldn't find any, so i have to ask here instead, and hopefully someone can answer my question.
I have an Xiaomi Mi6 with Snapdragon 835
I want to know if QPST imei backup tool does backup EFS partition or just Imei/NVram?
Should i backup Imei/NVram with QPST and backup EFS using other method/software?
Whats the different with backup EFS and Backup Imei/NVram?
Thank you
