Damaged EFS, no backup - is it possible to flash from another phone (damaged)?

Hi,

I have a problem with my S5. After flashing a custom ROM I found out that my IMEI is null, and so the EFS is corrupted. I tried to restore it from backup only to find out that I have deleted the backup :eek:

What can I do now? I anything? Would restoring EFS from another S5 (with damaged mainboard) could be a solution?
Generally everything works except of phone modem, I have got IMEI written - is there maybe a method to set the IMEI without EFS or a method to create EFS? I already tried sam IMEI changers, but I found out that they only do this on the application level - apps will be able to read different IMEI for licensing, but phone still sees NULL IMEI.

Restoring backup - what went wrong?

Hello,

today I managed to brick my device and restore it to working state, and I wonder at what point I made an error.

So here's what I did:

1. Had stock lollipop 30b


2. Rooted using oneclick root+recovery


3. Installed twrp using autorec


4. Xposed etc. and used it for a while without problem


5. Decided to flash something new


6. AOSPA 5.1.1 seemed like a good choice


7. Flashed bootstack, that was mentioned in aospa thread, system and gapps


8. Wow, that was smooth, but I needed my apps next day so I decided to restore my stock backup


9. Restored backup and ended up with phone in 9006 mode

Later I did some stupid moves that made whole situation worse, but that's not the point.

I backed up and restored everything that twrp allowed me to, so not only system and data, but also boot, efs, modem, recovery, sns etc. Could this be the cause? I didn't change bootstack, because I thought, that I had the needed one (autorec puts kk bootstack, right? and aosp roms also require this).

What should I do to avoid such problems in the future? I'll probably flash a lot, trying to find best possible rom for me, so it's neccesary to now whatto avoid.

And tip for future newbies like I was: if you can enter download mode, then use it, flash tool won't wipe your device data when you're using normal flash. When you've got normal working system to begin with then you can tinker further.
(Also there seems to be no way to recover from demigod critical error, even though it says it enters recovery. Then it's only this method with shorting capacitors on motherboard (fix real hardbrick)).

Battery Backup? Any Kernels or ROMs?

Hey Folks,

I'm searching for a kernel or a rom with good battery backup. I used CM12, AICP and Resurrection Remix and came to a conclusion that AICP has the best battery backup among them. Its battery backup is like what we can find in CM11 4.4.4. But sadly I'm facing alot of bugs with AICP now and then so don't wanna use it anymore.
I can do regular updates or testing but I'll busy with RL stuff.
So, can you guys suggest me a good kernel or a rom to use for battery backup?

Apps backup for non rooted phones

Hello,

I was wondering if some of you has succeeded to backup a phone with also the apps without being rooted.

There is a way thought ADB, is it something we can trust ? (adb backup -apk -shared -all -f D:/backup.ab)

Could there be some issues with the fact we have a lollipop OS ?

Thanks.

Backup not found

Hi
I had an M8 but yesterday it got stolen, I lost my job so the best I could afford for now was the HTC 626.
I always had the HTC backup enabled in my M8, but when I try to restore the cloud backup in my new 626 it says that there's no backup at all. (and yes, there it was a cloud backup, I always checked up every week to see that my M8 made a cloud backup)
Any help?

Samsung Galaxy S3 Sprint - Problems restoring stock rom Backup (TWRP)

Phone was originally bone stock, I then rooted & installed TWRP recovery, booted into TWRP and did the Backup option and saved it to SD Card, I then flashed CM 12.1 and used it for a little over a month, trying the various Nightly updates.

I decided to go back to the stock rom I had backed up previously, It restores successfully but when I boot the phone everything is crashing once it hits the home screen, "Unfortunately xxxx has stopped" is seen over and over, I can't load anything, even the settings menu crashes.

I then tried rebooting into TWRP and did Factory reset but when I do this It wont ever get past the Samsung logo on reboot.

Not sure what went wrong with the backup or if Im missing a step? I also tried enabling the verify MD5 check option for the Backup and it says everything is fine.

For now I'm back in CM 12.1, Any ideas appreciated!

Zenfone 2 factory reset and backup question.

I just started a factory reset on my phone after doing a full Asus backup to fix the battery life issue, then while it was rebooting to start the erasing process, I realized that I haven't backed up my photos or files.

It booted up, started to erase, I just held the power button to shut it off. Tried rebooting again, or booting into recovery mode, but it just boots to "erasing" every time. So I have these questions:

1. Does the factory reset in the Zenfone 2 (the one in setting sunder backup and reset) clear the contents of internal sd and erase all files?
I remember I took it to get repaired and they told me to save all the files because they will do a factory reset and that will erase everything, but I'm not sure if it's their special reset or just the normal one in the settings.

2. If yes, does the Asus backup save files or photos? Or just apps?

3. If no for 2, then can I somehow interrupt the erasing process or connect to the phone with ADB without booting into the erasing process and save my files?

Thank you very much for your help!

Backup & restore

Hi,
I made a backup by TWRP.
But the problem is that I don't know what to do with this backup.

1: For full backup, I leave to the nexus or I spend it on a PC? If my nexus has problem to boot, what I do with my backup ? How use it (txrp, fastboot....) ?

2: For a backup of data (so if I understand it, the app), I leave on nexus or I put on pc? and after I use it when and how?

For ex, when I switched to M, at the beginning (after boot), the nexus has installed all the app from my google account, but it's very long, so I would like tu stop it and use ma data backup, but i don't know how to do...

Thank you.
