hi all, can i do backup of imei? and restore if i have problems ?
I want to modding the phone and I saw that there is a minimal chance of losing the imei.
Thanks all
The TA partition contains the device IMEI and can be backed up if you're rooted.

Hi all,
Just trying to find out where the efs folder is on xperia z c6602. I used root explorer but do not see it. I just want to make a back up of it. Thanks
This is a folder created by the rooting method. At the end it is deleted automatically. You don't need it.

So I don't have to worry about losing my imei number flashing roms?
That info is contained in the TA partition. For a backup go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41763438

So just to be clear, I already did a back up of my ta partition so my era folder/imei number is saved? If any problems,just do a restore of my ta partition?
Yes your vital information is now safe. If you performed TA back up before unlocking bootloader your DRM keys (needed for Bravia engine) are also backed up. So you can now unlock bootloader and flash ROMs, safe in the knowledge that you can go back to stock and restore TA (which will also relock bootloader), so it will be as it was originally.

Thanks. I just wanted to be sure cuz I flashed a Rom on my gsm nexus s and lost my imei number. Don't want that problem again.
Hello,
I was wondering, is that a good idea to unlock my bootloader? I like to try new things with my phone and such
All opinions are welcome.

i am also in a similar situation like you. backup your TA partition first before you unlock, to re-enable the DRM features if u wish to relock the phone. now i dunno if the sync with my gmail account alone would restore all my app data,contacts etc. so for that i also make their backup using android backup utility or pc companion from time to time.(u must know once u unlock the BL u will have the internal memory wiped )

AFAIK, TA partition is where all ur DRM keys are stored. U can backup and restore the TA partition using Backup TA utility. (search on google/xda)
Warning: don't restore another Sp's TA partition as it will hard brick your phone.

Use the search function. And if you unlock the bootloader always keep a copy of your TA partition.
