You have to be rooted and use Freegee to back up EFS unless your smart and know how to use ADB method ( I dont use it) I just use freegee. You cant find the EFS with an file explorer.

many years i used Galaxy S devices (1,2,3) and there no any problem with this. But now i just dont see EFS-folder, with rooted phone and RootExlorer and I've also heard that this model does not have EFS-folders.
I see only this files:
etc/efs.txt
etc/system/efs.txt

is there any way to give stock file manager root access so I can copy/paste .apk, delete some old backups I did from CWM ect.
I know there is a bunch of file managers on the GPlay but i like the smooth and simplicity of the stock one.
thanks
Nope.

To install you need a root explorer app
Then you copy both files to the system/app folder...
Fix permissions and see what happens...
Make sure you make a back up just in case it breaks something...

Im having trouble unlocking my bootloader. I probably shouldnt try this until it's unlocked and I get a custom recovery right?

Yeah. I wouldn't do anything until you unlock and have twrp and make a backup. Have you tried the freegee app?

I don't think anyone's experienced a hard brick from free gee. But anything you do is at your own risk obviously. There are a lot of helpful people here and on the optimus g IRC so chances are whatever you do can be fixed. In any case good luck.

lgnpst in the worst case scenario.
just make sure you have a good backup though and that frequently does the trick.

Well I copied them into my system/app folder, fixed permissions, and nothing. Also tried deleting the JB camera and doing the same process to install the LG pro camera and nothing. Haven't tried it on a stock rom though. I'm on beanstalk currently.

Ok I'm rooted and stock. I'm using Titanium backup to backup all my apps. But I want to restore all my apps on a new phone that is not rooted so cant use Titanium backup. What app can I use that does not need root to restore my backup?
I'm not aware of any app that can restore a backup made with titanium, other than titanium of course.
If you want to make a new backup there may be something in the play store that doesn't require root. Not sure of anything specific though.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
Yeah I'm not trying to use the titanium backup. I just need an app that doesn't need root. I would use that to make a new backup and restore that backup on the new phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Either Rooted or Custom Recovery, are the only ways that I know of. Why not root the new phone? You could always "Unroot" it after you have restored everything.
The new phone is the HTC one. I'm reading way too many issues with it after people root and sometimes on stock. So if my phone has problems I don't want to spend time unrooting to send out back.

you could use ADB but its more of a pain than any other method, heres a link to an .exe for that will do it for you (NO-ROOT) http://lifehacker.com/5976036/simpl...droid-phone-from-the-desktop-no-root-required windows

When I go to any file manager on my phone the backups do not show up anywhere... They show up when I want to restore a backup when I am booted into recovery. But I would like to delete unwanted backups and I can not do so because they are not showing up when booted into android.

You can delete them in recovery. Or use root browser they appear there for me.

I figured out a way to work on my LG Optimus G Pro running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with E98010p. Watch this Youtube vid, Its a chinese root but he shows you how to make it english.

JL969u is the user who posted this fix make sure to goto the original thread and give him thanks.
i think there a easier way
just use titanium backup to convert superuser to system app
Here is your root in english, no need to watch video.
Supersu has been uploaded too.
After root install superSU and do as promted, it will remove the installed root app.
Now go to apps and uninstall the chinese app that vroot installed.
For OCD clearance do a wipe ?

If you've got root, try running freegee. Don't know if it works on the 10p update as I immediately downgraded when I got my new phone.

I'm sure it worked great. Google vroot, and Kingo. Both are known to be malicious rooting apps

Crap well I used it. Right after I rooted I did remove the superuser install the one I traditionally use. Deleted the original and updated the binaries twice. I guess I will have to live with it.
Freegee loaded. Got twrp installed

Well the problem with vroot is that it supposedly Logs and uploads IMEI Numbers to servers in china(possibly). The idea around that is well they could use those IMEI numbers to take a stolen phone or Chinese phone and give it the uploaded US IMEI and then create a activation outside of the US.
Has anyone put a custom rom on after using this root?

Well, just dog the same trick as stated within the Universal Root thread - quickly press the home key after the 2nd LG logo appears and the back and menu button flashes at the bottom, self tested.
