Hey guys, I am wondering, if there is any way to restore the apps and data, backed up by titanium, without root and so without this tool. Any suggestions welcome

Without root you can only restore applications...

How? From backup?
Yes... extract one of backup files and you have *apk.

How bout data? is there any possibility?
Thanks already
Unfortunately, there is no option, you have to have access to system/app . Without root there is no option.

I have a g note with almost 2 years warranty. I want to root and change the ROM.
My question is how to backup important files and details such as csc files, that file containing imei number just in case if I had to return it to Samsung in state like it is right now.

You don't have to backup anything (rooting don't wipe) but if you still want to backup apps then use any app backup application from Google play and the folder you are talking about is efs folder, you can't backup efs without root.
First root and then backup downloaded apps and data using Titanium backup and , you can backup efs by using some efs backup tool. Check dr,ketan's toolbox in first link in my sig.
Thanks a lot mate. And what about my csc code? I should write it down or save it some how?

You can save the csc folder from system to SD using root explorer after root or check this for more info.
Anyone can help me to restore my IMEI and GSM working ?
Probably during error in flashing I've lost /efs data.
I have nothing there. Please help me....

Thx for your reply, but unfortunately I've tried restocking using Overcome from the link at your signature.
But it doesn't help, IMEI is still 0044XX
what was the first thing you did that broke the IMEI?
If it was broken after installing CM9/10, then your sdcard will have a backup folder with efs folder and efs-xxx folders.

I don't know anymore, I flash a few ROMs and only then do I notice the GPS not working and IMEI is now 0044XXX.
I've restock a few times with overcome and re-partition, therefore all backup are already lost.
I found some in external SD as well.
and those aren't wiped by any repartitioning or ROM install.

Ooh, where do you find the file ? In backup folder ? I don't have backup folder at the external sd
Yes. Backup folder.
Sorry. That means you dont have a backup.

hello guys I'm trying to do a backup of efs folder, but there a way I can do it
using root explorer or similar I can not find the folder and everyway I consider a method unsafe
if I use terminal emulator that what I think is the best method
if I type the command su
to follow busybox tar zcvf / sdcard / efs-backup.tar.gz / efs
I report the error as attached image
What should I do?
where am I wrong?
thank you in advance anyone help me
see you soon
