Hi,
Newbie enthusiast here, can someone point me to the right direction on how to backup the EFS partition properly? I've seen guides for other units but I don't know if they are applicable to poco f1. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You.

You require a genuine IMEI number, otherwise the phone will not work. So what will you do with dummy data?

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?

Unless your phone it's Qualcomm based (which means you're in the wrong forum), it won't work.
Do you made an efs backup before losing your imei ?
if not, send me a recent efs folder backup + efs partition img (with efs pro) and I'll try to recover your imei.

hi everybody.
I have an issue with my device, I was on the root directory and I deleted the folder EFS.
Now I have a different IMEI 04999010640000 and I can't connect to my provider.
I was looking in a different forums and they said that the imei it's a custom provided by the device and I have to use a box for restore the imei and the other things of that folder. please, can someone help me.
Can you first read the faqs and guides and use search instead of asking the same question day after day after day.
Basic is restore your backed up EFS folder .
Fail to read the guides first and no EFS backup tough **** pay for a service centre repair .

I made a mistake,I didn't wanted erase that file
anyways... there is first time for everything... Please check in your internal and external card that if you have the backup of EFS. Sometimes when you flash a new ROM specifically a custom rom, some of them backs up the efs partition automatically. so try to find out if there is any back up of efs on any one of your memory cards.

I look on my internal and external memory, I don't see any backup .
That is not good.. The only way is to send it to Samsung service centre
If my post had helped you than please press Thanks button. It might be very little for you but VERY BIG for me.

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..
Hi everyone
i lost my IMEI, when i tryed recover that, i damaged EFS partition, days later i recover my imei but now i lost the capacity for create a PIN, Pattern or Password, Settings App are crash when i try to set some Lockscreen option. i has read and i think the problem is some file lost or damage into efs partition (folder).
so if somebody can give me a EFS Folder Backup for comparation files or try to replace my folder for backup.
if you want to help me you could be relax because yo can erase imei file,i dont want this file, it doesnt worry me.
my phone is a SM-g925i
Thank for everyone for any help!

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.
