Hi,

Is it possible to add support for Galaxy Note3 (SM-N9005) as well?

Thank you for any suggestion.

Galaxy Note 3 (SM-9005)

Thank you for good news and appreciated for quick reply :)

Should this app working on Windows 7 64-bit windows as well or 32-bit only?

My Galaxy Note 3 (SM-9005) is rooted and on Android 4.3. ADB shell is working flawless and before running EFS Professional I've stopped any other ADB season and process on my PC as well.

But EFS tool is stacking on ADB server initialization. Where could be a problem?

Any help?

Kind regards,

Alex

No COM PORTS

For some reason this application will not recognize com ports above 1 and 2. My device is plugged into com port 3 and it will not recognize it. I have read that it only reads ports 1 and 2, is there a way to add support for more com ports.

This is the only application that gives me hope of getting my sgs3 back in working order. I updated the Carbon Nightly to 4.3.1 and lost my efs folder and imei. Was able to get my imei back on the phone but it is stuck in Edge ATT service. There are no nv files in my efs folder.

do this work für the I9195 Galaxy s4 mini?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alwayseric:
i need help.

the phone is i9300t, rooted. busybox is installed.

when i started efs professional, a window popped out saying an adb server instance is currently running and needs to be terminated. so i pressed ok to terminate it. then it stuck at initializing adb server...forever.

i am quite sure many people have the same problem, but it seems the op doesnt want to respond to the issue nor has he listed a step by step procedures or troubleshooting anywhere i can see.

i hope some kind people can help me/us out here. thanks in advance.

Check that all Kies related instances and services are closed.

Run EFS as administrator.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jt.one:
is there any point in using this tool if your EFS folder (original) has been formatted/corrupted?

If anyone is having issues with the initializing adb server message freezing, unplug your usb cable and plug it back in with the screen on to ensure you accept the rsa fingerprint message on your device. Only then will it connect.

to my knowledge, i am not running kies and not aware of any relevant services are running at background on my laptop. could you tell me where i should look into / check to make sure all the related instances are closed?

i also ran efs as admin, but it didnt seem to help.

also, the phone is connected as a MTP. the only option other than that is PTP (camera). is mtp ok?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] themissionimpossible:
Did you enable Debug USB option?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alwayseric:
thats for sure. the debug usb option is always enabled.

i also tried to toggle off the mtp option, but didnt help either.

Try installing EFS Pro in a folder just under the C: root, choosing a folder name without embedded spaces.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gertjan411:
Not one of these did any good.

Still hangs on adb.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] El_Dark:
Lyriquidperfection, do you think is there a way to extend support to other phone models too? is there some file that I should add for it or just wait for a possible new release?

Tell me if there's some way I can help :) maybe I can extract something off the bml/stl by using dd

Hello.

I have a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300. I post here because I'll have EFS trouble, I suppose.

Follow my	condition:

1) I had this firmware version: PDA:MC2 - PHONE:MC2 - CSC: MA2

2) Then I installed this leak firmware: PDA: MJ9 - PHONE: MJ3 - CSC: MJ5 (I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_I9300BUUGMJ3_VFG)

3) I didn't make my EFS backup, because I didn't know nothing about it :(

4) Well, now I want to restore my previous firmware: PDA:MC2 - PHONE:MC2 - CSC: MA2

What can you tell me about?

May I have the error about new EFS version?

Do you think that EFS Pro can restore my previous EFS?

Help me, please.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pani690:
Hi everyone. I purchased a Note 2 in October. I then downloaded EFS pro 1.12.6 and made an EFS backup after rooting. Two days ago I found on the play store this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.boris.efs&hl=en and installed it and gave it a try. Disaster. After that my phone stuck at the Samsung logo. Did not boot. I had to clean install Omega ROM again and the phone is working. I can do calls etc but the efs folder is empty. Now anytime the phone boots it gets stuck at the Samsung logo and I have to re install the ROM. Should I restore the efs folder from my backup?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chalao:
Restoring your EFS from the backup you made is pretty much your only chance. There are more people who got the same issue after trying out this EFS Boris programme, although it clearly warns and states it´s limitations (e.g. Note3 not supported, not tested on 4G LTE device radios, etc.)

So the best and safest option for backing up EFS is EFS Professional in its current version, don´t go with anything else for the moment.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pani690:
Yeah I restored my earliest nandroid and the efs folder was right there with all the files in it.

Will it works on Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 models?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mittaa:
+1 (SGS4)

I think we will know the day we need to use our backup because we lost IMEI LOL

Anyway there are other way to back up EFS folder ... for example using custom recovery like TWRP or CWM in order to make NanDroid backups :)

When it comes to IMEI, I like to ride more than one horse :good:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] android addicts:
I have a Windows8 32bit PC and installed Android SDK toolkit and its ADB driver. Also installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4 using web installer. Then I stopped Kiss and Droid Explorere process and other ADB.exe process using Windows 8 task manager.

Now when I run this tool kit it only shows,

Checking application environment... Okay.

Initializing ADB server...

Also granted root permission to adb shell.

I have i9300
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chalao:
No, unfortunately it won't work on the Note 3 as it seems that SELinux status needs to be set to permissive. You could flash a non-stock kernel but that would trip Knox 0x1 and your warranty is void.

Follow these steps in order to get past the ADB initialisation.

If it still doesn't work, flash stock released before September (just to be sure to not have SELinux enforcing firmware with secured bootloader) and try again. This is what definitely works, I tried it out.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gonzakpo:
So.. I flashed the latest stock rom to my i9300 and now I don't have network connection anymore. I don't know what's the problem exactly. May be related to the MG4 modem but my IMEI appear alright. Thanksfully I made a backup of the EFS with your tool.

Now I'm considering in going back to a previous firmware (older modem) and then restore the EFS. Is that the correct way of doing it? Can I restore the efs.img partition without being root? I would like to keep the phone official when I finish fixing this problem.

Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chalao:
Are both Wifi and mobile data not working or just one of them? Did you flash from recovery or using Odin? Which one is the latest stock for you? Post the result of *#1234# please....afaik there are just a couple of European countries and China which got 4.3

Trying to backup EFS on my phone which is i9505 LTE version. For the device filter should I select "Galaxy S4 (Snapdragon)" or "International LTE Variants"?

Also do I need to backup NV? What does backing NV protect? Also I followed the guide but cannot seem to install QPST.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] farewellartist:
Are Qualcomm tools supposed to work on Samsung I9195 (Galaxy S4 Mini LTE)? Because they don't, changes can't be written. Also, NV backup can't be restored, changes do not apply after restoration.

EDIT: I just can't write anything, changes do not apply, what's the problem? Sent default SPC (0000), SELinux: Permissive. This is not a software's problem, it is something in the phone, none of tools (CDMA, QPST) worked, same results - shows, that data is written and no change.

EFS Pro Restore Hang

I've been experiencing strange "SIM Card Removed" errors which have no apparent physical cause as I can switch flight mode on and off to get the phone working for a while before it errors again, so I've attempted to restore an EFS backup made last week with EFS Pro 1.2.6 and it initially appeared to be working, as it said it had restored the backup EFS, but then it continued to mount the EFS partition before appearing to hang...

I left it for at least half an hour in case it really was doing something, but there were no signs of anything happening so I took a deep breath and killed ADB.EXE, then EFSPRO.EXE, and finally yanked the cable. I then wondered whether it was safe to ever reboot the phone again but decided to give it a try and to my relief it rebooted fine - phew!

So, no harm done, but something definitely wrong, and I wouldn't want anyone to end up in that situation again, so can you please look into it?

Happy to supply more information if it helps, just let me know what... for starters, I'm running the Omega XT v5.0 custom ROM (Android 2.3.5 + XWKJ2) with the XWKJ2 ClockworkMod kernel by ChainFire.

May I suggest at least adding a progress bar so that it's easy to see whether anything's happening?

I flashed back to the original stock that came with the phone then flashed the modded ROM then back to stock again and that did the trick. There is no guarantee that this will work. It seems to work for some but not for others so good luck.
