Hi
Is there a tool for backing up efs partition for the ace?
Thanks!
I don't think so...Not recommended to play arou with it anyway
I am a potato, problem?
I've gone bonkers searching for it and backing it up
It's not accessible for our ace normally
And also do not try to access it

Just wondering guys. Every time before you flash a new ROM and run backup to backup all your own stuff, do you guys backup apps only or plus system data?
I seem to vaguely recall from my HD2 days that it is not encouraged to backup system data too yeah?
backup app only . ignore system data . if not if you are restoring the system as well it might crash with the new system file of your rom
Thanks neighbour
Recently discovered that both CWM and Titanium together do not backup EFS partition and probably a lot of other stuff.
Does anyone know of anything else what should be backed up next to efs partition that is not backed up by CWM and Titanium?
And of course know a way of how to back up/Restore it?
Anyone know of a solution that does back everything up? And not just portions such as Titanium and CWM?

1. use EFS Pro
2. use Titanium for your apps and their data
3. use CWMR for everything else (except the modem, it won't backup/restore it)
and you're covered. No universal all-in-one solution for now.
Cool thanks. Are the following frequencies of backup correct?
Efs pro backup once, or with every major (e.g. Gb to Ics) Os update
Cwm backup once per os update
Titanium, frequently backup

EFS once, CWMR once per update, Titanium according to your needs.
Guys!
Use TWRP, and tell it to backup everything. That'll do /data and /cache (personal stuff and cache) /system, /efs and somewhere else too. Only problem is that to back up data each time, you have to turn off, get in recovery, backup, reboot normally.
HI
I'm a g. mini user and i wanna install cm 7.2. I have tried take a efs file backup with efs pro but I've failed. How can I get a backup? :crying:
efs backup is not required for installing cm7
if you have an operator specific phone then you will need the backup else you don't need
Hello
I made backup of my efs with the latest EFS professional 2.0.70. Do i need to backup something else, or does this EFS partion include everything i need? efs.img size is 20Mb. And yes i have galaxy s3 i9305. I have also backed up my rom using CMW.
Thanks

Critical you read the first two posts .
Somehow the EFS partition on my P5WIFI got damaged and everything was lost. Is it possible someone has a dump of the files stored in there? The loss of the data in this partition causes strange problems with the stock Android.....
I managed to recreate some amount of the EFS partition by using "EFS Professional". The Wifi MAC is incorrect (looks like a generic one) but hey whatever.

You have got a Wifi Tab , and Wifi Tab does nt have got a EFS Partion.
I think you need a PIT file.
Normaly if you flash a Stock Rom this will restore a EFS Partion in Phones.
On the WiFi tablets, the EFS partition stores unique data like your WiFi MAC address.
I'm not sure what happened to this tablet. It was my mother's until last week. Somehow it wiped itself. All of her data was gone. It seems as if something caused the tablet to wipe the data partition, and that the EFS partition was also damaged. The EFS partition was not mountable in recovery and errors were displayed. Nothing actually formats EFS though, including PIT, so I had to go in with ADB shell and format it myself.
But without the EFS data, strange things happen like the stock ROM will go into factory mode. It puts a "factory mode" icon on the homescreen, the lockscreen and power menus don't work, and the initial setup wizard is never shown. Fortunately "EFS Professional" has a function that recreates various files within the EFS partition and this restores normal functionality.
