(Tutorial) IMEI backup and restore

/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.

[SOLVED] Mount System partition with write permissions on Android 10?

I am trying to mount my System partition with write partitions on my Google Pixel (fully rooted with Magisk).
I have tried the following commands:
$ su
# mount -wo remount /
and I got the error
Code:
'/dev/root' is read-only
I also tried:
$ su
# mount -wo remount /system
And I got the error:
Code:
'/system' not in /proc/mounts
Also after flashing things in TWRP I get failed to mount /system
And failed to mount /vendor
Is there any way I can remount the partition with write permissions?
If not is there a Magisk module that can edit it Systemlessly?
EDIT: I've done some research and I found out that you can't mount the partition as rw so to edit the files you have to make a Magisk module that replaces the files with the modded versions.

Here is the solution to your problem my friends. Enjoy!
Works like a charm in Android 10 and later. Now my system, vendor and product partitions are read-write!

while trying to flash your zip , I'm getting an error. I have Redmi k20 pro with Corvus Android v11 flashed. But it worked for many others...

No, OOS is read only. I gave up and installed PixelExperince 10.0 , removed all google stuff, installed microg, patched services.jar and all set .

While the above might work, you don't need to extract the whole super partitions. You can do it manually on whatever partition you wish.
Make Dynamic Partition Read/Write (github.com)

@Lossyx that's interesting thanks for the feedback. Yes you're right it should be possible to do the whole process directly on the device without having to pull the whole super.img first. But it shouldn't really matter if you do it with the help of your computer or directly on the device itself.
However people decide to do it, what's important is that the Android 10+ users get write access to all their partitions again so we can customize our device to fit our needs and remove all that bloatware and then some.

I have ROOT, but I am not allowed to read and write to the system folder.

Does anyone know how do I get read and write access to the system folder?
*BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED OK
*TWRP OK
*MAGISK OK
*ROOT OK
*APPS PERMISSION (STORAGE) OK
Stock MIUI Global (QJGEUXM) v12.0.8 Stable
Apps like "Uninstaller" and "Titanium Backup" don't work normally.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TRWP and installed Magisk.zip with TWRP.
I did just that. Is there anything else I forgot?

It looks like you forgot to run my new script. It makes your system read write able like in the good old days before this systemless hype.
