Hey,
On my previous phone (Gio) a Nandroid backup could be restored becuz cwm could access .rfs filesystem, is it possible on Gmex to restore a Nandroid backup from a stock ROM?

Just a quick question. If I am not rooted, how can I back up my efs and ROM without having a custom recovery? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I really don't know.

I had a case of sudden death and att replaced my phone.my question is can I root it and restore the back up from the one that got replace? the imei and seriel # aren't in a nandroid right? or should I root and start flashing all my mods from scratch?
I think you can and restoring it won't mess up anything with your imei or serial as that's not rewritten. I wouldn't though. I'm in the start fresh crowd.

Just root it, install the custom recovery you used to make the backup. Put the backup on your phone and restore.

yeah you can do this with no problems. just make sure you use the same recovery/version on both devices.
Ok I did it. Had to make a backup so that twrp could create the directory, then moved the preexisting backup into that directory and presto.

Highly recommended Dont do this ,
It will Restore your previous phone EFS and you will lose the IMIE of your new device and will be in deep trouble.
OMG, I was right to post this question with a small doubt.. Thanks so much..

Glad you posted the question here :good:
you're better off using titanium backup, and only restore user apps/data.
this way you only copy over the things that are safe to copy over.
For switch over device, titanium is best
Make full backup on old device
Restore 'missing application with dada' batch scenario in new device.

I know that, but I thought it's safe because I backed up stock rom. Losing imei will be very terrible. It's ok now after all ... Thanks for all advices. ^_^

Hi,
This may have addressed before however I keep reading about having a back up of EFS folder before flashing a new ROM.
Is it really necessary to have a back up of the EFS folder. If so how do I back it up? Is there an app / utility for this?
I use TMobile Galaxy S4.
Thanks in advance.

Andromizer from Play Store allows you to backup/restore efs ;] I believe CWM backs up efs as well
