I have used Qfil to backup my G8 sprint phone but the V60 Tmobile partition table is a little different. I cant seem to find the system or vendor partition. What is the correct name to backup the system partition a/b?

I have included a script in a initd script segment to create a file called efs.autobackup.img
The forum is filled withon how to creating the .img file but i couldnt find about how to restore.Ktool doesnt work on this.
I am asking this in behalf of a fellow xda member.He got a factory efs files in some old Indian firmware, flashed it by using clear phone efs in odin and now he has some generic IMEI.How to extract the files inside the .img file atleast??
Atleast he can use the files to change his IMEI using nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5
If it's a raw .img (20MB in size) kTool should work fine.
Just rename the file to "efs.img" and put it to /sdcard (root of the internal storage when mounted to the PC).
Then run a restore via kTool (be sure to use latest version).

If the .img is OK and not already of a broken EFS, or the image itself is corrupted (all these things can happen, sadly) then it can surely be restored.

He is saying that restoring with efs.img makes his phone go to unknown baseband and IMEI.
I have asked him again to post it in this thread

In a shell, type:
Code:
su
mkdir /sdcard/mnt
mount -t ext4 /sdcard/efs.img /sdcard/mnt
Then use your fav. filemanager to go to "mnt" on the internal storage.
If the mount command gives you an error, it's likely the .img is corrupted.
Hey guys, worst part about samsung devices is always their EFS issues.. my samsung tool app has already gained support for SM-G900A, SM-G900F, SM-G900H, SM-G900T before root and custom roms are available, so first thing is first, root(when available) and backup EFS!
ive kept all downloads and discussion within the original thread here! - SAMSUNG TOOL APP HERE
this was made possible by leoaudio13 dumping his partition table!
I love u mate!

thats because nothing was accessible until after root, dumping system was easy, but any other directory/file on the device wasnt able to be read after until being rooted..
samsung didnt even include tar binary so I dumped over adb, then CF helped root and then we dumped raw images!

LTE devices have a QualcommChip, where everything is stored in the nvRAM, the EFS includes only files that have nothing but absolutely nothing to do with the IMEI.

I backed up my EFS to internal storage but cant find it don't see no /data/media/SamsungTool/ (using EFS file explorer) just want to save a copy to the PC. What's the exact name of the backed up file so i can use the search feature? cheers.

For full backup, which partitions do you recommend?
Galaxy S5 SM-900P Partition table
you can still simply create a copy right?
I have always had rooted phones and my SGS 5 is no exception, it got rooted using CFroot in the carpark immediately on picking it up.
I have therefore always simply made a copy of the efs folder on to the external sd card which is then synced to my dropbox.
However I have not really kept up to date with developments in these areas, so my question is nowadays is this still enough to ensure the safety of my device and it's ability to connect to my carrier. In the past when I have had issues after flashing roms and things simply deleting the /efs folder and copying the contents of my back up into it and rebooting has always been sufficient to get my carrier back up and running is this still the case with the international SGS5 qualcomm variant or do I need to consider other elements?
When will it work for SM-G900V? I just rooted my phone today and would like to use this for my backups. I just tried it by using EFS backup and now it's stuck on a triangle with an exclamation mark that says Please Wait. Ugh! Help...
Basically, I deleted system on my Desire 610 and I have no idea what to do now, so I came to ask you guys for help. Cheers.
I have actually found the stock system.img, recovery.img and boot.img by jmz, but every time I try to flash the system.img in via fastboot I get the following error: load_file: could not allocate -1879048192 bytes
error: cannot load 'system.img'
Can anyone please help me ASAP? I really need to get my phone up running soon. Thanks!

I bought it in Croatia, so I guess it'd be East Europe or just Europe. I've downloaded many RUU's so far and neither got past sending or updating signature...
EDIT: I tried to flash the system.img with different fastboot files and now I get the following error: invalid sparse file format at header magi.

Thanks alot. I'll try it out and then get back to you with the results.
E: Could you be more specific? Where do I need to extract it?
No need to extract it flash with twrp, if u don't have it you can flash it via adb, I made a thread to flash updates on rooted device u can use it as a guide to flash twrp only

Actually the link I posted is to a rar compressed twrp backup. It needs to be extracted to an sdcard in /twrp/backup folder then use the restore function in twrp to restore it. Last time I checked all the links I could find to flashable zips for eu devices have gone dead. Also It would be a good idea to do a factory reset in twrp(in Wipe menu) before restoring the backup.

So, pretty much I need to create a new folder on an sdcard and name it twrp and then make another folder in the twrp one and name it backup and then just extract the folder from the .zip file in there?

Yes except the folder names are actualy TWRP and BACKUPS . Then in twrp hit restore button. and select external sd as backup location. Then select the backup and swipe to restore. This is a UK backup but it should work ok except if you need languages that aren't there you can install "more locales 2" from play store. I hope this works for you.

I did everything alike, but when I enter restore it appears empty.
EDIT: I found a solution for that aswell. Apparently, I have to copy the backup folder to data/media/0 to be able to see it in restore, but I don't have data/media/0, I only have data/media. Anything I can do about that?
EDIT 2: I managed to fix everything. I owe you alot, man. Thanks a bunch, bunch, bunch!
Hello there,
can someone please provide a system.img, recovery.img and boot.img from a WI501Q? I've derped something up quite hard by backing up the system partition while the bootloader was still locked, now I tried to flash it and the filesystem seems to be corrupted...
I tried reflashing a TWRP backup made from someone else but even transfering the backup to the watch fails at some point with "protocol error"... The watch reboots then and no files were saved to the watch.
Thanks already!
See Post #4 on how I resolved this (kinda).

What did you mean by using ext2simg?
Okay, after some derping around, trying, failing and more I managed to restore it...
I had a TWRP backup from my still OEM locked bootloader (I booted TWRP via fastboot boot twrp3.img), via fastboot I formated the system, userdata, cache and so on partitions and something along those lines seemed to work.
Before that the /data partition seemed to be corrupt for whatever reason, not even TWRP was able to display the free space. After doing the above it suddenly was able to display it again but the /data/media folder was missing, I created it manually, pushed the TWRP folder onto it, Restored and it worked!
So yeah, not sure what exactly went wrong here or how to fix it... Sorry...

In Ubuntu it is in this package:

Works better than img2simg.
Good day!

Can I still root?

Yes you can , if you can extract your boot.img yourself or find an A.07 boot file somewhere

I've already posted this a few times but just use DSU sideloader to boot a prerooted GSI then use Partitions Backup and Restore app from playstore to save copies on your device. Install magisk app and patch the extracted boot.img and then transfer backups along with the patched boot image to your PC for safekeeping and flash the patched boot.img in fastboot. You can rename any .bin files to .img to flash them if they get extracted as a .bin file. Check your settings in the partitions Backup and Restore app before starting the backup process. You can choose to save them in an easy to find directory and for me it was better to choose to save them RAW/uncompressed then just compress them all into a single archive rather than having a hundred separate archives for each individual partition because it makes it easier if you have to reflash things if you need to recover. You may want to disable battery optimization for the app because it takes a while to extract all the images doing a full backup but its well worth the wait time if it saves you from a brick later on
