Your EFS Script

Ok,I am sure it is a great script. BUT, how do you open or execute it in windows 8? A (.7z) file extension is unknown to me and windows 8. Forgive my ignorance.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ayfon:
its very easy, u can unrar with winrar... go to "efs_backup_restore_windows_scripts_v3" folder and click on "efs_backup.cmd" , on your phone will ask to superuser grant thats all.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] AHLASSICH:
Backup EFS

I downloaded a program called "7 Zip" and extracted the script. This is probably a stupid question but where do you run the script? Tried the CMD prompt and the script will run but it does not do anything to the phone. It just runs on the PC and returns an error "file not found". I did have the phone connected in download mode but nothing happened.

Oh, I just read that you have to give root permission to ADB. Apparently you have to run the script in ADB?

Where do I get ADB and how do I run the script in it? Step by step instructions would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ayfon:
you dont need download mode, connect usb to your phone and run the script , there will open cmd command prompt and than on your phone will come popup of root permission on your phone give easy grant after 10 second backup ready in the folder from script. sorry for english.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] AHLASSICH:
EFS Backup

The script appears to work on the Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-I317 (ATT).

It put a file called efs.img into the same directory as the backup.cmd file. That is fine.

I am comfused about where it put it on my phone. I performed a search for efs.img and found it in two places. Is that correct.?

I found it at /data/media/efs.img and also /mnt/sdcard/efs.img. The time stamp corresponds to the date and time that I did the procedure.

Is it working as intended or is something amiss?

Thanks a bunch!:good:

thank you for this ive managed to back-up my efs to my computer..Working on PACMAN n7100 running latest nightly ..now i have 2 back ups..one in my phone and in my pc..thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] kfyros:
Well ,the backup cmd,

didn't copy the file on the working folder on the pc,

so i found it in the sdcard folder of the smartphone (which is the built in storage on samsung devices),

and copied it my self .

The file is 20 megabytes.

Probably some access rights issue..

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] underlines:
Is it possible to backup the EFS from an old Samsung Galaxy S2, and restore it on a new phone like the Note2 or Note3?

So we could have a spare EFS backup in case there's a problem with a new phone...

My guess is that the EFS files have an identical structure on all Androids and don't change with different models/manufacturers.

Can I use this script to make the restore or what is the best method to restore my IMEI in my International GT-N7100?

Hi friends....

Im really confused here.... I downloaded the zip file (340kb) and have it on my desktop... When I use WinZip to extract the files, it gives me an error... However when I double click on the file, WinZip Window opens and shows me 5 files in it ; Adb.exe , AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, efs_backup.cmd and efs_restore.cmd.

Plz advise...

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] mw86:
Now that you have your efs backed up since my tip to use winrar to extract worked, could you leave other users any tips that would help while doing this process.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] rakeshtiw:
I got the same error when I tried to backup efs. I realised my efs_backup file was too deep in sub-sub-sub directory structure in windows using long file name for directories. The problem was solved and successful EFS backup taken once i moved the EFS_Backup folder to "c:\" in my win7 OS. My device is Note2 N7100.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] tallus:
Thanks for the reply.

I ended up returning the phone to the Samsung repair centre to have it repaired. They quoted the problem as a "calibration" issue, and didn't charge me so I'm happy with the outcome.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] oldmanhp:
It works with Samsung Galaxy GT-i9152, Galaxy Mega 5.8
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] inamie:
it works for me too on Mega 5.8...but the size of efs.img is only 256kb. Is that correct?

for note 2 is about 20MB.. :confused:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

using emulator on phone:

mount > /sdcard/mount_info.txt <---- read text on internal memory and get info mmcblk0p? for efs

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p?? of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.img <----- this will backup efs.img on phone.

20 MB ~ 20.480 kb

Or

On PC

edit script "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3" to "/dev/block/mmcblk0p??" youll get the efs.img for your device on PC.

*/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 for my Mega 5.8 (20 MB ~ 20.480 kb).. hope this is correct.

Please me, i have lost my IMEI saying NULL / NULL and im getting not registered on error. I have not backed up ESF folder as well.

Struggling from last 5 days to fix it up. some how i got Modem_N7100XXDMG1 and flashed. After that i have got some fake IMEI.

Tried flashing STOCK ROM 4.4.2, but still no luck.

IM using Note N7100 K.K.4.4.2

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horr1blek1tten:
I'm using the charger that came with the phone. I also noticed my phone discharges while charging sometimes. Is this normal? I didn't wanna make another thread for another question so here I go, auto brightness has my phone at 100% regardless of lighting, is that normal?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2496007:
Both circumstances definitely not normal.

There seem to be serious QA issues with the genuine HTC chargers recently. Both myself and my wife have been through several in the last year. They just don't seem to be as reliable as they used to be and I've given up buying them. If you contact HTC they'll just send you another pup. Try a Samsung/Sony charger. There is nothing special about one charger or another, other than the having the data pins shorted out so the phone knows it's plugged into a wall charger and not a PC, and rated current output. Avoid un-branded cheaper ones as these do not have decent voltage regulation or smoothing, and do not need to meet the same standards for manufacture. These CAN cause damage to your phone. I have used a Sony charger for the last few months on HTC phones without issue. I use my friend's Samsung charger whenever I go over to his house without any issues too. Just make sure the charger you pick can handle the current output that your HTC charger states.

Auto-brightness stuck is also not normal. I take it you have tried manually toggling it, and I factory reset? Are you unlocked/rooted? A bad kernel flash perhaps?

If you've tried all this and it's still stuck, look to see if you have a faulty light sensor. Download an app called Elixir 2. You can check all phone's sensors from there. Select the light sensor, then cover and un-cover the sensor and check you can see the light values changing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horr1blek1tten:
Would I be okay in buying a note 2 charger for my phone I know it pumps out 2amps instead of 1. I'm fully stock and I downloaded elixr 2 and it shows my light sensor works fine. I just have to manually uncheck the auto setting for some weird reason to get it to work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
That's exactly what I use on my ONE. No problems so far.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horr1blek1tten:
Is there any way to keep the phone cool?i mean it gets warm and hot every time I do something.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2496007:
It should not be getting hot for average use. Gaming maybe, but web browsing and navigating menus definitely not. I seem to remember my One X suffered this in early firmware versions. Later versions fixed it. Which version are you on? Have you had the 1.29 update yet?

I know factory resets are a pain, but it will be the first thing HTC ask you to do before sending it back for replacement, so it's best to to get it out the way if you are already on 1.29. Failing that you can put your faith in the good people here to provide a kernel and base that solves any heating issues. That is what I did, sacrificing my warranty knowing I have phone insurance should the worst happen.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horr1blek1tten:
I did a factory reset the moment I got it out of the box and I'm tmobile no update.

I wonder why?

My locked bootloader Ion running stock Sony at&t firmware with root and CWM can update busybox app to latest version without any issues. I always use the smart install feature.

It just updates the available scripts it shouldn't delete anything only add the new stuff.

You may need to update the root binary in the root super-user app afterwards.

I know my Ion is a different phone but with locked bootloader it is still just a stock kernel.

And if the only 4 developers for the Ion got it working I can't imagine it's broke on the XS with DooMLoRD around. ;)
