Seems like there's some new custom ROMS for this device but, we need to make IMEI backup, i've been searching tutorials, but can't find anything about this device, i won't try anything since it is needed, someone knows a way to make a backup and if anything happes there's a way to restore it.
Here's the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-backup-imei-in-pbrp.4363647/#post-85963995

First, I have to thank the XDA forums helping me come over from my long WinMo background. Mad Props...
Being new to Android and my nexus one, I'm feeling the ROM flashing bug and want to try out a couple of different ROMS but don't want to have to add all of my accounts each time since I use crazy long, nearly impossible to type, passwords.
Is there some way to restore some of the configuration of my N1 between different ROM flashes?
Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't find it. It looks like the data is backed up in my nandroid backups, but I can't seem to find out how to only restore configuration.
Thanks

Take a look at Titanium Backup.
It works really well.
You need to be rooted and superuser in order to use it.
To find out more about adding superuser to a stock ROM, check out this thread at Modaco.
Edit:
Nandroid backups are really "just" disk images afaik.
There's no way that I know of to extract information from them.

Ok, thanks. I am running the backup right now and will give it a try tonight. Worse case, I just restore the nandroid backup and try again.
I've always wondered, what stuff is safe and not safe to restore in Titanium Backup. I've done a full restore when switching between like roms, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be a good idea if you were going from cyanogen to a senseUI rom.
As we all know Mac users cannot use Odin. So I was curious if someone who has flashed an Odin Rom were to make a nandroid backup, would other people be able to restore that rom on their phone? Obviously whoever were to make the nandroid would want to pull out anything that would cause any personal information to be shown, but if this would work maybe devs could post a nandroid in each OP so everyone without a PC can have the Roms/Kernals that would normally require Odin. Any input would be great. Thanks.
If someone wants to flash a fresh odin and make a nandroid before signing into google or setting anything up, and upload I will test to see if i can just nand restore roms.
im wondering if do i need to backup the efs before flashing a rom, ive known from other phones like LG or samsung that you can lost the imei, so i want to make a backup before trying anything, but i cant find the efs folder or at least where its supposed to be, any help is appreciated
The Atrix HD does not have an efs folder.
Yesterday, I don't know how, my phone went into bootloop. I tried a lot of possible solutions, but nothing worked, so I decided to restore an old backup. However, before doing this, I did a backup of the rom in bootloop, because there were some important data in it. Now, I wonder if there is a way to recover these data. Do you know if it is possible and how I can do it?
Greet, guys!
I do this topic to solve some doubts and help new costumers with flashing OSs... If somebody can help thank you very much in advance.
I have losted and IMEI brick an old celphone making flashs so here are the questions.
- flashing with ADB can lost the IMEI ?
- flashing install TWRP can lost the IMEI?
- If I just do the TWRP install and flash some OSs can I lost IMEIs or brick my celphone?
Just simple question, in my opinion, but lose IMEI is not a thing that I want in the moment.
That's all, guys!
Best regards.
as long as you follow directions and don't do anything crazy, you probably won't brick the phone. i've rooted and installed custom roms on every phone i've had since ics and never permabricked anything. if you lose imei the fix is simple and can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/psa-flash-devices-persist-imei-loss-t3828575
i recommend making sure the data is working before you unlock the bootloader, and checking every box in twrp backup except maybe system image before you flash anything.
Thanks for answer, xtasquee...
I pretend do all TWRP backups before installing. I just have to know If I flash with ADB I'll add data only or erase some data?
When I lost my IMEI in other phone model I cannot restore anyway, that's why I'm carefully.
Tks for link too.
