EFS BACKUP AND RESTORE APPfor i9105P and i9105
Developed by xenon92
An app to help you backup your EFS Partition and Restore it if necessary.
No Terminal and No Commands.
Simple taps on the screen.
* ROOT PERMISSIONS NEEDED *
Even though I developed this app for Galaxy Grand i9082 and i9082L users, this app will work with i9105P and i9105 too. Thanx to @fmehdi for testing and pointing it out.
EFS partition blocks of i9105P, i9105 and i9082 are same. See the links below and the EFS partition blocks in the device trees.

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if you mess up your phone using this app. The functioning of this app is the same as I have explained in the link above. Restoring EFS is dangerous. If you feel unsafe, use the guide I have made in the link above and use Terminal Commands. This app simply implements those Terminal commands in a user friendly way to backup and restore EFS.

/EFS partition contains a lot of information about your phone, f.e: wifi/bt mac address and your IMEI (nv_data.bin).
It's highly recommended to backup the whole partition, or at least copy the files from the efs directory.
CORRUPTED OR NOT?
You can check if the efs is mounted or completly damaged with this command:
adb shell
mount
You will see something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Red part means /efs is mounted.
IF YOUR PHONE HAVE CORRECT EFS PARTITION:
1, Root your phone - there are several methods to do this.
2, Install root explorer or Estrongs file explorer and copy /efs dir to your sdcard - this will copy the files.
or
2, Make a backup from the whole partition -this is better if you flash a phone with wrong ops, the only way to restore using this backup.
Backup:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/stl4 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs
Restore:
Add efs.rfs to and unix compatible tar and flash with odin as efs file:
IF YOUR PHONE /EFS IS CORRUPTED:
Flash the included /efs tar with odin:
This will remount your efs partition and (if you have a backup or fixed nv_data.bin) you just need to overwrite files with a file explorer.

4 Type the following command respecting all spaces and any capitals:
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
5 After a few seconds the operation comes to an end. The procedure can be considered complete
6 The command does nothing but create a compressed archive called efs-backup.tar.gz within memory /sdcard. We recommend that you make a copy of transfer even on your pc.

As you know there is a way to avoid it, it's doing DATA/FACTORY RESET via recovery... the only problem is that doing this process ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE DELETED and it's really annoying so I created a simple script to avoid this trouble
I created a flashable zip to do the job as simple as possible

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSE/FOR IMPROPER USE YOU CAN GIVE THIS SCRIPT. SOLE RESPONSIBILITY LIES WITH THE USER WHICH USES THIS SCRIPT IMPROPERLY.
USES

If your child or someone without conscience locks your device by mistake.
REQUIREMENTS
Root
CWM
(It may be work in non-rooted devices, I'm not sure but if you want to try it report then )
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download the correct file.
2. Boot into recovery.
3. Install from sdcard and flash it.
4. Done!, reboot system now.
5. Now you can go to settings and set new type of lock
