[Q] Some questions about the EFS folder

Hey, I'm new to flashing ROMs. I've heard that backing up your efs is important, so I made a backup using TWRP, and copied the efs folder using ES File Manager to my SD card, and then to my computer. Will I be able to restore the imei and other things by either using TWRP or copying the efs folder back to the root of the phone? Just a question.

Unless you specifically selected EFS as part of TWRP backup - no, you won't.
If you did select EFS for backup in TWRP - yes, you will.

Thanks for clearing that up!

[Q] EFS backup

Hello, i performed an EFS folder backup using EFS Professional. My question is, why it needs Busybox to work? I must have Busybox installed if i need to restore the EFS folder? I'm on 4.2 stock and rooted.
PS: the backup went ok, no errors. There is anothe better way to backup EFS on gt-i9105P?
PS2: Restoring a nandroid backup, also restore the EFS folder?

there is very little chance that your efs folder will be blown up .. now that you have a backup , you need not need to worry .. while flashing roms and wiping dat , and restoring roms via cwm backup and restore you only need to restore the rom and not the efs folder backup .. if in case , you do not find your imei no. or your efs folder and stuff , you can at any given time restore it manually .. correct me if i am wrong but that is how it works . all the best and Happy Flashing
