How to backup/restore IMEI for Galaxy Tab S - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, anyone can help me to backup IMEI before flash ROM?
Please, I once made my IMEI lost after flash so i really glad to know how to backup IMEI first.
Thanks.

You can use TWRP-recovery to backup and restore your EFS partition (where the imei is stored) or use Samsung Tools (http://d-h.st/zGr)

can it also be done via ADB ??

What is the Galaxy Nexus's partition layout.

So, what is it.
Like, what I mean is when I use df it shows what is mounted, but only the mount points, not the devices.
Like ex. /dev/somestuff here is mounted to /data
or ex on my pc. /dev/sda2 is mounted to /
Specifically I want to know what is mounted to /data.
Thanks, sorry if my question is a bit unclear.

[Q] Android Kitchen edify_defs file for Galaxy S4 Mini

I want to know if anyone could share the content of this file. I tried looking at the fstab and translate it to the file but I haven't got it to work and the sgs4mini isn't supported by kitchen (but many people have made rom flashables for the mini, although I'm not sure if using the kitchen). Could anyone provide us one?
Which model? I9190, I9192 or I9195?

Sorry, I forgot to add that, it's I9190. Although having them all in one post would be really helpful to anyone needing one in the future for another version of the phone.

It worked thank you! Your script's content is very different from the other galaxy files included in the kitchen tho I would have never guessed!
I could flash the rom and it booted (although it took a long time even after the third boot up) and the wifi didn't work even though I have flashed the same (but stock) rom with Odin and everything works just fine since it's the one my phone came with originally. The thread main topic is solved tho, thanks!

Can someone here make a boot.img with a custom kernel that can function with cyanogenmod 12.1?
There are some people trying to port it to this device but we need someone to make that kernel.
crDROID and Resurrection Remix for the Micromax Canvas 5 both work for this device, tested myself.
Not sure if it's just me, or do SIM cards not register with these? If anyone could tell me, it'd be much appreciated.
