Hey, i've lost my imei,
i don't have a efs backup folder, the only thing i've found is called:
efs.autobackup.img
Is it possible to restore with this file, if yes how?
Please help
There is an app called ktool , u can use it to restore your efs IMG easily, it can restore efs .img and .tar formats.

ya u just need to click on restore efs from backup > and then choose the IMG option
if that doesnt work.. rename it to efs.img and try again
Do I have to rename it to raw.img ? Because app tells me requested efs backup does not exist..
no just efs.img and it should be on the root of internal sd
okay, i renamed the file to efs.img, and did the restore, and then a reboot. But i still have no IMEI etc..
check if u have a efs folder in /

I am replacing my EFS folder using ES File explorer with root permissions, but when I paste it to overwrite the EFS folder, I get an error:
"No enough space!
Required space:2.00MB
Available space:0.00B"
Not sure what the problem is. Hopefully someone can help me out.:good:

Why you want replace it???
It may create lots problems to you.. As it contains imei info..
Better to stay away from that folder.. Or do a backup of that folder before altering it..

Because I flashed CM10 and need to restore my IMEI.
Anway I fixed it on my own. I just pasted the contents of the EFS Folder and it worked!
Also I did have more than enough space, which is why I was confused
Hope this helps others who have the same problem.
Story behind this zip file:
I messed up my tablet and I could only get into download mode , meaning I could flash a insecure boot.img and custom recovery.
I noticed that my EFS partition was erased when I entered a stock recovery, I got all kind of EFS error messages in recovery.
At first I tried to restore my system with a original ROM ODIN package but that doesn't restore your EFS. So no luck and still stuck in a bootloop.
So what to do? No adb , no EFS backup on my internalSD , I couldn't get acces to my internal SD.
I google around and I didn't find anything to restore EFS from within recovery or Odin. I didn't have a EFS.img backup on my internalSD so the emwo recovery was no help.
I do have a EFS backup that I took with EFS pro.
That generates a .tar and a .img file.
So I made myself a update package that I could flash from cwm. As I made the recovery I knew in what partition EFS is stored so that was easy.
This is the updater script , it should work on GT-N51... (10, 00, 20) as they all store the EFS in this partition.
Code:
show_progress(0.3,72);
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("1. START INSTALLATION");
package_extract_file("EFS.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
set_progress(0.99);
ui_print("------------------------------------------");
set_progress(1.0);
I renamed the EFS image backup that I took with efsPro to EFS.img and dropped it in the zip I made with the updeter script.
Flashed it with cwm and voila, running again without any problems.
SO in the attachments is the zip .
Open it with 7zip or winrar , drag and drop your EFS.img (needs to be this name) into the zip where the EFS-dummy text file is. put it on your externalSD , boot to recovery and flash it.
So I hope this helps the people out that come into the same situation as I did.
Thanks for the zip, I have my EFS backup, but I didn't know what to do if I had this problem!
You are a life saver!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH​
Long story short, I was like you. my battery died, and for no apparent reason, I couldnt boot. I had download and recovery but no matter what rom i used no boot. Then i noticed in the logcat it was getting stuck on network initialization and also that twrp couldnt mount the efs partition.
I was looking for a way to restore the efs using adb sideload when i found this, popped in my efs backup and volia!
o yea i'm on the GT-i9300 (s3) but it worked like a charm! deffo keeping a copy of that zip just in case.
I have a .tar.gz efs backup compressed file. So how do I use it to flash via CWM?

Try to downgrade to Gingerbread OS (GB) first, see if it still happens. Use Odin to do it. Follow the guide here. And.. I recommend using the firmware (GB OS ) specific to your country.
I was lucky
Thanks for your post it was really helpfull.
I was lucky because i have two rooted i9070.
First I deleted what was in, "broken" i9070, folder modemfs and copied content from healthy one.
If someone need content of my modemfs folder just let me know.
I have i9070 no brand (Poland)
Guys I was just experimenting with these two ROMS and i found a FIX for Wi-Fi. on The Illuminated Rom( By the Kid). The problem lies in the "data" folder of Rom.zip file.
Steps for fix:
1. Open rom.zip and delete the data folder from the zip file.
2. Add the data folder of which i am giving you the link below, in that rom.zip.
3. Flash it.
Probably due to the wifi customizations made in the data folder previously, it was not working. but it worked for me.!
And also The i found out that in XperiAOSP by the KId, the settings.odex file is present in the system/app/ folder. I think that maybe the problem. it should be deodexed. And try this wifi fix on that also. the files are the same.
Link for data folder https*//drive*google*com/file/d/0B6Yp9LLnb7apN01sQlNfZS0waG8/view?usp=sharing
i have given data.rar . Extract it to get data folder
Sorry for interfering with your files, Ramdenes, The kid
it doesn't working
the download link that you give don't have a folder, but a file without any size
and because it's my first time flashing a custom rom i want to get it right.

That is the point. i created it(the file) using Android kitchen. if you have just downloaded the file.Then make a folder, "data". Open it. Create another, "local" and place that file into it. OR you can just download the data folder i provided.
It worked for me.! Without a problem.
got it
but where is the download link for the full data folder,
i can't found it :s ^^
