Great!! Perfect backup in the extsd, now I can try new KK ROMs safer ;)., opening a PayPal account :)

I used this in sm n9005

Efs img is 512kb, is this normal, or shouldn't it be bigger?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
ofcoarse you need root, you root you device without affecting your efs so root, backup, flash roms care free :)

thans for the feedback guys! ill keep updating!

im thinking about adding the option to backup/restore apps before and after flashes, like titanium backup, would you guys like that?

i dont think thats normal, mine is around 15-20 MB?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] iscio:
thank you very much for this usefull tool. I'd prefer this light app, not to add backup and restore for other apps

edit. I have a question...is it correct 128kb? it seems too small, with another method I have efs.img 13,62mb
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kurotsuchi:
there is A WEAKNESS in this app, you should make the efs.img in the SHOWING location not in the hidden,

for example, put it in the ROOT of SD card, that will be MUCH easier
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
not a weakness! some devices mount storage as /data/media and some as /data/media/0

so i went for the obvious and stock /data/media as some devices done have /data/media/0

theres always an explanation! :)

oh and if i set the storage to /sdcard one rom might have storage set to /data/media/ in one rom and /data/media/0 causing restore problems!

so i solved this problem as suggest by justarchi and setting it to /data/media

128 k

and no backup on internal sd (i use v2.0)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Baff94350:
Same size here on same device.

I tried both backup on internal and external card, same file (512Kb).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zburli:
Hi, I set the application to make the backup on my ExtSdCard and I have now a folder named Samsung Tool and inside it efs.img - 20MB.

Sent from my GT- I9300 using my own fingers :D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MikiGry:
Can use it on s advance GT-I9070P ?

But what can this app do

on my device if it wont work ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Killberty:
Sm n9005 the efs is stored in mmcblk11 instead of mmcblk3...

This work on 4.4.2 (N9005)? i make a back up but don't see any file:confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Kurotsuchi:
ok man, thanks for explanation, will use the app, that's important thing to back up EFS folder. thanks for the app :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
I made a version for the N9005.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VonStarkeGSD:
Thanks Great Tool ;)

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Tried to use the app however which ever option I choose internal or external it freezes on this screen!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
did you grant root?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VonStarkeGSD:
It did not pop the message up, to grant but I know what your referring too. I untick everything in xprivacy so presumed everything was good to go?

Update : removed app, reinstalled and this time was prompted to give root access worked and now have a folder on exsdcard with sub folder named samsung tool and inside is the efs.img 20mb ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hemantv:
Works on Galaxy Nexus. It is of proper size i.e. 20 MB. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
thanks for the feedback :)

:) will add it to op now!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kantjer:
I have just installed V2.0 and backing up to internal sd works perfect but when trying to backup to external sd the app is stuck at the "please wait" screen as reported by [MENTION=4165121]VonStarkeGSD[/MENTION].

I have removed and reinstalled V2.0 and checked root access but the issue remains.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
May I ask what device your using and what you external sdcard is mounted as?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kantjer:
I'm using an international S4 (i9505) running SlimKAT (AOSP 4.4.2) the external sd is formatted FAT32 mounted as sdcard1.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] VonStarkeGSD:
I do have a lot of stuff on my phone so it did take me maybe 5 - 10mins and then please wait turned to backup complete, How long have you tried waiting for?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kantjer:
About 30 sec. I'm not the patient type :)

Backing up to internal sd only takes about a few seconds. I think if it takes 5-10 min. something is definitely not correct.

But I will try again and give some more time.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Mine takes 3 seconds.. ? Hmm is there a folder on the external sdcard?

EDIT: seems aosp roms dont mount external as /storage/extSdCard

I will update it tommorow with checks if mounted on sdcard1 or extSdCard

may I ask whole path to the external sdcard?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kantjer:
Just tried it and let it run for 5-6 min, still no luck.

What folder am I looking for? I don't recognize anything as made by the app.

EDIT: is this enough?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Your looking for /storage/extSdCard/SamsungTool in there should be the efs.img

Can you please tell me the exact mount point e.g. /storage/sdcard1 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Yes thats fine! For the time being just copy the backup folder from internal sdcard to external, this tool will have support for sdcard1 tommorow!

sorry for the inconvenience!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] kantjer:
No such folder on my sd.

Correct the path is /storage/sdcard1 (see screenshot above)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Thank you, adding support asap!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Baff94350:
I tried with the N9005 specific version, and now i have a 14Mb file backup in my ExtSDCard :good:

Thank you :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ajeesh vijayan:

Anyone can confirm if this app working on Verizon S3 with custom firmware or with stock 4.3 the latest? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Give it a try.. if theres a file in /data/media/SamsungTool/ called efs.img thatd roughly 15MB-25MB (or inbetween) then it wprked!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TriMoon:
Although I have SuperSU installed and working for other applications, and don't see any entry for this app in SuperSU's list, nor get a popup to grant root access for this app.

It can't seem to work due to no root access.

Anyway to solve this?

I would like to test this app, thx

whar device?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FunThomas76:
how long does normal restore take ?

i have backuped my efs.img but when i restore i get after nearly 1 second a done or when trying to restore from external not result

Did anyone tried to restore efs.img unter cm11 on i9305 ?

At the moment i dont have any serial baseband or imei :(

I tried to restore cm11 from cwm :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
What do you mean? :/ what efs do you have V1 or V2?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FunThomas76:
i have tried tool version v2 and restored the efs.img file from SamsungTool directory from external sd card.

Maybe it worked but i had another problem -> it was not only the efs partition.

I dont know what is inside the efs partition. I flashed stock firmware and then i had back the baseband and imei and serial in the info menu but the imeisv is still 01 and not 02 what it was before flashing.

but it feels very fast restoring a partition in less than 3 seconds... dont know if its normal that fast
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:

I try to install it in my SGS3, it failure, not saving. but in my galaxy note 10.1, it works normally
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
really? what variant?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Madness.:
IMEISV is related to modem. When i flashed Android Revolution ** (idk :D) IMEISV changed 01 to 04. Flashed stock rom, changed to 01

[Galaxy S III Android Development] m.kf:
GT-I9300 the rom is stock ZCUBML1 which is no google services. and after I flash the omni rom, it can work normally. So i thought that is caused by google services. last year, I installed another app and it installed failure as this, the developer told me the failure due to the google services
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
well this is working on the i9300, i actually just ran it on my own device running my rom (SmartDroid), give it a try ;)

thanks

Donation 5E262076BU446563M

the regular version made a 512K file on a T-Mo Note 3 N900T but the 9005 version made a 14 MB file.

The stock v2 made a popup saying it had root access and the 9005 version requested it, in case you care...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Thanks I'll check it out, the 14MB file is correct however the other is not, I'll get on it!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mgbotoe:
Is T-Mobile note supported? I see you have a specific one for the international
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
give it a try, if theres a file 12-20MB then it did!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MeetFace:
No love with either apk on my VZ Note 3 fwiw, SM-900V
[Galaxy S III Android Development] blame8008:
Agreed. Doesn't work on my VZ SM-N900V either.

Tried it once.

Then uninstalled, restarted and tried it again. (Both times, granted permission with SuperSU) but no go. No efs.img file created.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eltonpestana:
works very good here
[Galaxy S III Android Development] thadeustr:
thanks

this is the best one :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TriMoon:
Sorry for the late reaction, i thought it was obvious from my signature...

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

It's the GT-N8005 model with a GT-N8000 firmware and using SuperSU v1.93

I don't get any popup to grant root access, so im unable to get it working.

It is however shown as denied in SuperSU's logs...

Besides the menu does not work in horizontal view, only in vertical view. So i need to rotate the screen to be able to select menu options...

Horizontal view is the default view for tablets, so you might want to look into that.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] M@zik:
Could you please confirm if Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000 is supported??

p.S - I'm on Android 4.4.2, Omni ROM.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
Go in superSU and grant it permission, should work!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jamesd1085:
Yeah...same here verizon gs4 shows to be working...but its backing up mmcblk0p3...efs for device is mmcblk0p10...0p3 I believe is sbl1...so my efs got corrupted and can't be fixed due to this app. Backed up wrong

folder...I got imei and data use back but efs is empty...stuck in factory mode on all touchwiz roms...anybody know how to fix...the file FactoryApp that is supposed to be there to return to user mode is gone
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mehdi.moha:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
i reccommend using internal storage :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KnieveI:
p605 Note 10.1 2014.

Thank you for the tool.

Just made an backup of efs on my P605. About 14 mb.

Hope i never will need it though.

Do i need to use this tool only for restore , or may i use apps like Flashify?

Just in case i wont work for any reason.

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Dany-69:
SM-N9005 .. looking for a method to backup EFS ...

So downloaded this tool and even the other tool that works through the PC (this one)

Could you please explain me why your tool il trying to backup the partition mmcblk0p3 (as shown in the screenshot from the first post and even as shown on my device) while the other one has backupped the mmcblk0p11 ?

Installing "Partition Table" from the play store, i realized that the correct efs partition is mmcblk0p11, so I think there's something really wrong :eek:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
theres a version for your device, check the DL section.

most GALAXY devices have the EFS located at dev/block/mmcblk0p3 however your devices is at block 11(thus why i released a different version for your device).
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Beowulf_pt:
I just downloaded the N9005 version (com.sec.ricky310711.samsungtool-V2.0-N9005.apk) but clicking backup gets me the following pop-up:

"This will backup your EFS partition in .img format.

Backup EFS (/dev/block/mmcblk0p3)? Cancel/OK

So either it is not going for 11 or the display is showing 3 by mistake.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
the one for your device backs up mmcblk0p11, i forgot to edit the test for your version, next version will detect the device and backup the right partition for all devices!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
Ricky, first of all thank you, have you fixed Note 3 N9005 version?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
it never was broken 0.0, check the previous comments, confirmed working!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
again thank you, perhaps have you tried restore on thne N9005 ?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
ask the guy atop the page!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
you're right but I wanna know if app can make backup of all mmcblk0p11 p12 and p13 parts...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
it only backs up block 11!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
others say that only block 11 is not complete... need 12 and 13 block... (imei isn't in block 11 or not?)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
EFS is on block 11 for your device, on the S5 its on block 12, but most samsung devices like the S3/4 etc its on block 3
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
well, so finally, block11 is enough? Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
your EFS is only on one block, yours being block 11 and the block being backed up! so your answer is yes!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
IMEI is in block11?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
Hi Ricky. Tried this on Sprint Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 and got a 256kb img file so I imagine this is not valid for our SIII variant?

Edit: Ran EFS Pro and this is the partition info it reveals. Perhaps our variant is block 11.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
block 11? try the N9005 version! it should work! thanks for the report!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
Just checking back in to report.

The N9005 version generated a 13mb img file so all is good I believe.

One last minor thing, the popup is still showing block 3 for the N9005 right before the backup. Tnx - TD
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
thanks mate! i seen that bug! ill fix in the next version(soon)

will only be one app that gets the ro.product.device value and parses to the tool and backs up the correct partition! thanks mate!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MeetFace:
Bummer, keep trying these on my SM-N900V (Verizon Note 3), can't ever get root to pop up after clicking "backup"
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Masami1975:
So until next version, is the backup generated from last version valid or not?? I'm bit confusing...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
Check in Super User app to see if Samsung Tool is listed.

Sometimes apps will get denied and need to be deleted from there to regain access.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
or just open the app properties in superSU and change deny to grant :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] MeetFace:
Odd, so I didn't change anything in SuperSu, but I just reinstalled after uninstalling and all seemed to go through just fine.

Got an efs.img of 14MB...so looks like I'm golden.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RazorMC:
I get a 20mb file. Is that normal :p ?

Really nice and simple app though, I make efs backups from philz recovery and another app and now one more option. :laugh:

You can never have too much efs backups.

and guys, please check out the poll!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
Universal build working great on SPH-L710, Galaxy SIII variant.

I didn't report it before but this version fixed the lack of backup to internal SD for us as well.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 1RedDawg1:
Maybe it's me, but I can't get the download link in the OP to work. Broken?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
The xda developer links can be a little tricky. I'll try to attach it to this reply as well for those having issues.

Edit: And I see you're coming from the link I posted in our SIII thread for the latest tool. Very cool!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 1RedDawg1:
Thanks. That worked. And thank you for all that you contribute to this community.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
No worries mate. Just trying to help. Of course, please thank Ricky wherever possible for this very useful tool and he has a contribute link posted as well for those that wish to show their devoted appreciation. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ricky Divjakovski:
thanks mate! ill check the link in OP to see if its broken!

also the script has been re-wrote from scratch, automatic device detection, logging and a few other goodies added, might add TA support for sony devices depending on the poll results!

I think I know the problem, install busybox and try again :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tdunham:
Also, it does this on both internal and external SD? I had an issue with empty folder on internal SD with an older version. But for my SPH-L710, this is now fixed.
