So basically i thought i had a backup of my EFS through Philz Recovery before i started to root and flash Darkstalker Rom V5. Well i ticked the option to fix the EFS partition in the aroma setup box and after installation, i see that i have a corrupted IMEI and Serial Number. I transfer the backup to restore it and to my surprise, it contained system, data, and cache but no efs. What are my options here? Any help would be appreciated..
Have you tried Odin to stock?

I got the EFS backup, My efs.tar generated by EFS Professional is about 20MB, reasonable size for the whole EFS Folder???
Why does it get erased after i re-boot?? How can I Restore, and keep the restore in???
Note: N8013
Stock, Rooted ROM, ''Factory Mode On''
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
Hi , as the title says, I want to go back from NexusOS 9.0 to the Nougat Stock ROM on my SM-G920F.
Fortunately, I made a /system + /data backup with TWRP before flashing NexusOS.
I was thinking of (correct me if i'm wrong) :
wiping system, data and cache
Restore backup from within TWRP
Will this procedure allow me to get my stock ROM back with all my apps, sms, contacts,calls, etc... ?
Wait for anyone who has done the exact change, but I'll add:
/data/media/ (.../sdcard, internal storage) might not be backed up and could be lost once the /data is formatted.
Any loss of cellular is probably related to /data/data/..., and the firmware in use, backup the EFS anyway but don't wipe the EFS or restore the EFS (unless 100% sure)
Thanks for your answer !
Internal storage isn't wiped when wiping data (I kept all my files when installing NexusOS) and I didn't experience any problems related to cellular, so I guess EFS hasn't been modified/wiped.
But you're right, I'll wait a bit too have more advices
Nobody ever did this procedure ?
When we are on stock OOS (before unlocking the bootloader also) with no root or any modifications. Then the EFS partition is completely untouched.
Whenever we are flashing anything a mod a rom or whatever some zips can damage the efs partition. Even though it has only happened to me on a Samsung device before never in a OP device. I'm still wondering if after we have flashed things is the Efs partition still untouched?
So if I made a backup of it after flashing a ROM is it the exact same EFS as when I was on STOCK OOS?
The EFS contains the modem and IMEI, the backup will be the same as long as you haven't modified the EFS.

Okey thanks The EFS and modem partitions have different very sizes. So the efs can't contain the modem or am I wrong? There is Bluetooth, dsp and modem files inside the modem backup folder and only efs files in efs backup folder.
I lost the funcionality Phone in my N8000. I think i lost the imei e someone more else. How can i restore my efs? I have a backup of my efs in format zip and format tar made 5 years ago ( i dont remember what application i used) , but i can not install via Odin or via Twrp, said Invalid Zip format on checking Digest File. I think the problem is checking the md5 generation that is not compatible with Odin and Twrp.
Someone can help me to restore the /efs partition with old backup. Thanks
see your identical post .
I resolved this situation, using Solid Explorer and Qute Terminal with root.

Thanks
It is not solved, when reboot the system, the imei of phone, N8000 is another, is from another file from i used to recover.
Manually from my backup what files and permissions i have to copy to the /efs in root of my N8000? First i copy nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5 and the folder /imei and works. I do not known the original permissions of the files, perhaps now the problem is this.
Someone can help me?
Thanks
With this guide "[GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps. " https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 , i resolved my problem with imei, no problems with reboot, but now i did not have access to Wifi, i can not connect to my Wifi Network.
Someone can help me, how can activate wifi? What files i need to copy from my backup? Before clean the /efs i made a backup the old efs.
Thanks
