Trouble restoring EFS nandroid backup with TWRP 3.0.0.0 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
After doing a nandroid backup with TWRP 3.0.0.0 for all partitions including EFS when trying to restore after booting up my device it I get an "invalid IMEI" error.
Looking inside the EFS folder I can see that most files are missing and only a default nv_data.bin has been created.
Is there another method to mount the efs.mtd.win file and copy his contents?
Or perhaps another method to restore it or at least understand why it's not restoring properly?
Thanks for any hint.

[Q] Restoring from clockworkmod?

I can't seem to restore my backup back to my phone...
My backup files are inside both the internal and the external SD cards. In both cards there's a folder named clockworkmod, which has a folder named backup inside, which has a folder named with the timestamp (Apr-19-Fri.19.44 for me). In the timestamp folder there are the backup files.
But, it says that no backup files are found when I tried to recover using ROM Manager, the S3 Mini Toolkit, and from the TWRP recovery.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

You are obviously using CWM to make that backup. TWRP will never restore it. Just re-flash CWM and you are good to go
I made it with the toolkit... So I'll just flash the CWM 6.x.x.x recovery to my phone and restore from my phone's recovery mode?

TWRP Backup question

HI,
I did a TWRP backup and then copied the file to my PC. After installation of a new ROM It seems this is not the way to copy a TWRP Backup to your PC.
Anyone know if I can reinstall from the files I copied from the phone?
Cheers
twrp backup is used to backup your current rom to restore when something went wrong. It backup the whole rom. It is not something you restore after flashing new rom.
