what i wanted was the name of the partitions so i could do a manual backup with dd, but theres no way to list them from shell as with parted, but parted aint available for android, df and cat dont give enough information:

Command to list partitions?

I want to list the partitions on my phone - system, boot, recovery etc. What terminal command should I use? The mount command just lists mount points.

After making any changes to efs nv items via EFS explorer or QXDM, we have to reboot our phone to reflect

new changes.

Is there any way or any command which can help to reflect changes immediately on the phone without rebooting.

Hi.

First off. Great app

I'm trying to restore a efs backup...bit it's not finding it. What folder structure or location should I move it to.

It's currently in the saved to location of

EFSProBackup

But when I refresh in restore...I'm guessing it's looking elsewhere

Please help 🙏

Thanks in advance

yeahhh man, this isnt working for me. It keeps freezing on me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Are you running a Stock Rom or Custom Rom? Custom Roms have been known to cause freezing issues with EFS Pro.

I have an Original Korean Anycall Samsung Galaxy S that I have upgraded to 2.3.6 Firmware with Kernel version I9000XXJVU and build Gingerbread.XXJVU but I lost network signal and the phone is NOT connecting with NO IMEI number and UNKNOWN baseband version. I have used EFS/Pro v 1.4.7 but I am still unable to get my phone to work. PLEASE HELP.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Hi if EFS Pro has been unable to help you then it may appear you have missing files or an empty efs folder. Assuming you have root privledges, use a file explorer app and navigate to your efs folder and see if there are files contaoned there. You may well have to return your device to samsung for warranty repair if this is the case.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bargan:
Thank you for your support. My phone is rooted and using root browser I can see many files and folders in my efs folder

hi, thanks for this, worked for me. f1 nexus 1 rom.

windows 7, right click efs pro.exe, run as admin, found the sgs 2, backed up, hopefully never to restore it!

thanks again.

Can i restore a backup made by version 1.0.1 with the latest one, 1.4.7?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Yes that is fine as all previous versions of EFS Pro use the same methods for Backup and Restore operations. :)

Hi, i have a i9100 with blanck imei. efs damaged and not saved.

but i have another i9100 working fine. i am rooted both and saved EFS backup with your tool and restored in the damaged phone but still without imei.

what can i do to repair?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
You cannot repair IMEI with another devices efs backup. You will need to return it for service im afraid.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] extrem69:
tnx for answer.

i have some unlock and repair boxes, as SPTBOX and RIFFBOX, i cant repair with this boxes?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
SPTBOX may be your best bet. You need to find an option to rebuild NVM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] extrem69:
SPTBOX can not manage EFS or NVM. i think i need read nvm from working phone and write to damaged phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] maxiordoqui:
Thanks You! Very useful tool! Really!:) But i'm afraid that my 3G & WiFi Problems is a Hardware problem. EFS Partition Successfull formatted & restored, working again but i have signal drops or difficulties to properly connect to 3G. Its a hardware problem, probably it got damaged by moisture :/ while i left it many hours in the drawer . But your tool works like a charm! Regards.

I send my SGS2 for warranty, they change my motherboard and put the same IMEI, but now when I try any ICS rom it don't register network gsm provider, but in Gingerbread I try lot's of roms and all run's well.

I have a backup of efs partition after and before substitution of the motherboard, made with tis great tool.

My question is simple, can I restore the previous backup before the new motherboard?

My macaddress of bluetooth and wirelles go working?

Thanks i am desesperate because i love ics...

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Backup efs of device with new mainboard in and restore your old efs backup and see if it works. If not you can reverse the process by restoring the new efs backup back to the device.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] almmpt:
Tomorrow I try...

Thanks for help...

Tomorrow I try...

I do everything in my galaxy s2, but i have a bad feeling in this procedure...

But tomorrow i try, if it runs bad i restore the backup made with the new motherboard...

Hopes it works...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
do you have the sim card pin activated?

if yes, then I have a similiar issue previous and you only need a simple fix which can be found here.

if no, then good luck continue finding the issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jellysweep:
So i tried the stuff i read previously in the thread. I got the program working after I enabled root access for ADB in dev menu. I'm running cyanogenmod9 on a Nexus S i9020t. Program kept freezing when I tried to backup EFS to pc. I checked the thread, switched to "use internal busybox", and retried. Now it gets to 'pushing required files' OKAY!, then 'creating efs backup partition image' EFS BACKUP FAILED!, then "cleaning temporary files"... OKAY!. And it's frozen at this point.

Anything else to try? I screwed up my EFS. luckily got it working properly after reflashing modem. I don't want to switch to stock rom without having an EFS backup first this time. Stupidest mistake i ever made. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] almmpt:
Thanks for all

Thanks you link work like a charm, finally i have back my ics rom.

Thanks, very greatfull.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jellysweep:
Can anyone offer me some direction with the problem I posted? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
EFS Pro is not compatible with cyanogenmod Roms. This application has only been tested with stock Roms so I reccommend flashing one of those if you wish to create a backup until the problem head been resolved.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jonmorera:
this software not worked for me, does not fix my baseband unknown and imei null/null when the sim is on the phone. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jellysweep:
So i switched my i9020t to stock rom, and retried this. It still freezes. If i use internal busy box, it gets farther but still freezes. Here is where it stalls... any advice? There is no backup made on the pc even though it says it completed. it just stalls there and does nothing.

UPDATE:

Did some more testing. Seems like it is linked to the .img option. If I use the tar option, it works great. I just did a tar backup to internal memory, and also to PC. Not sure why image is messed up. If i kill the process, it creates two 512mb images in the efsbackup folder on the phone. Clearly something goes haywire there. Tar looks good though. Thanks for the program! good work.

hi, yes, i have the sim card pin activated but my IMEI is 0049..., how can i do it? i don't understand your post.. Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sewe:
Works here too but the size compare to sgs2 is quite large,.img on sgs2 was about 20mb and on the sgs3 around 5mb
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sak500:
What's ur image size? I got 4mb img only.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
When creating an img based backup, it basically makes a clone of the whole '/efs' partition including free space.

Maybe Samsung reduced the partition size on the SGS III.

Use the tar method for backing up to get an idea of the 'true' size of the backup as this only backs up the files whilst also preserving the permissions.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] scary_master:
@lyriquidperfection:

hey, i think you could do advertising for your service in the SGS3 forum (or creat a new topic).

In my opinion, efs folder backup is the most important thing people should do when playing with roms/themes/etc

thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Hi thanks for the offer but I already posted a thread about EFS Pro in the SGS III forum already. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] scary_master:
Sry...I have overlooked this...

thx

p.s. good luck tonight against "les bleus" ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Important Note:

If you are planning to Backup your '/efs' folder on Galaxy S III using EFS Pro, please only use the TAR Archive method. DO NOT USE Partition Image ('.img) method as the partition is located in a different place on the Galaxy S III.

For comparison:

Galaxy S II - '/efs' is located at mmcblk0p1

Galaxy S III - '/efs' is located at mmcblk0p3

I am currently working to fix this.

Any Suggestiong plz.. its really urgent

THanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Hi is the phone rooted? You will need to root the device and select the Repair NV Data option in EFS Pro. This will fix the ownership of the radio that usually causes the unknown baseband problem.

I solved it, I will post the steps I did. But I still dont have more than 10 posts to post the links.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kitochong:
No IMEI and BASEBAND UNKNOWN:

Solution (It worked for me):

1. Flash your SGSII with Odin v1.85 with the following firmware:

http://hotfile.com/dl/116275514/2c567c4/I9100XEKDB.rar.html

2. Root your SGSII with:

https://hotfile.com/dl/159843434/212178c/XWKDD_insecure.tar.html

3. On your phone, connect to WIFI, go to market or play store, and

download the following files:

GSII_Repair

Busybox Installer

4. Install Busybox v1.17.1

5. Open GSII_Repair

6. Go to Repair GSII tab, follow the steps.

7. Your phone will reboot and you finally can see your IMEI and

BASEBAND, now you are allowed to insert any SIM.

Hy

I'm not able to backup my gs3 efs.

When i try (.tar device an pc) it hang at efs backup failed.

I'm on stock branded firm (bvlea4) with cf-root 6.2.

"SU" don't ask me for permissions,so i try with "grant" at default access but with no luck.

Usb debogging is ok but i've no busybox installed (also try with "use internal busybox ticked)

(busybox said some binaries can not be replace and can make my phone instable so i don't install it)

Any help ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
You will need to go onthe market and download busybox installer by stericson. Then try again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sad56:
I do that bur when i want to install busysox said.

Some binaries on your device should NOT be repaced by Busybox and doing so can make your device run in a undesireable manner.

The only reason you should tweak the settings below is if your know exactly what you are doing or if you know how to reflash your rom to fix issues.

Really don't know what it mean and never had this on my gs2.

do you think i don't have to take care of that ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Go ahead and proceed with install. Ignore that message.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
Try this mate, I repaired the ownership, just put the TAR Archive in the EFSProBackup Folder and restore it back to the device with EFS Pro.

Let me know how you get on. :)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Sad56:
Same for me but files are here.So i think its good.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
You can use img or tar. The format of the backup filename is:

EFS_xxxxxx_yyyyyy

(Where xxxxxx is the date backup was made in year, month, day and yyyyyy is the time the backup was made in hours, minutes, seconds.)

So just use your newest backup and delete any others.

great news looking forward to it

thanks for your hard work :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lyriquidperfection:
As with most updates they take time and often get delayed. EFS Pro is no exception.

I am currently working to bring out the next version which I promise will be the most stable version ever!

Below is a list of features to expect in the upcoming release:

- ADB Control within the application has been totally rewritten and now provides a stable framework to control ADB communication effectively with the connected device.

- Device Profiles have been implemented as a way of adding Backup support for future devices. This feature was implemented as the partition location of the '/efs' folder can vary between certain devices and this is needed in order to create Partition Image backups.

- Internal BusyBox option has been removed as this was originally added to improve compatibility with some devices. This is no longer needed as the ADB application control is now a lot more stable.

More features coming soon! :)

take your time - its ready when its ready ;)

Guess it looks like i wrecked the efs dir on my sgs2 when I tried to install the Ressurection remix ICS rom, got a unknown baseband and unknown imei number.

But none of the apps like gs2_repair ktool and EFSPRO can fix this at all.

Tried Everything, including going back to and older Gingerbread stock firmware.

Even using the 9 steps method and manual editing via rootexplorer etc. didn't work.

I foolishly never made a backup of the efs dir before rooting/flashing custom firmware, I did backup the efs dir right after I found out the IMEI was gone.

Am I boned now?

USB debugging is on. I tried with sd card mounted and unmounted, it do not change anything

Can you put back support to the usb direct mount mode?
