After a problem with my computer I lost the backup made with twrp, and I need to flash back EFS to the z2 after a few test I made. Can someone send me a EFS backup? Tried to restore it with LineageOS but no luck, I keep getting IMEI 0.

Hello guys, I'm a user of Moon ROM and when I tried to upgrade to v10 .. It was upgraded successfully .. through AROMA installation I backed up EFS, It was backed up into a folder .. not a tar or IMG file, And I found out that I lost my IMEI, and I couldn't find out how to restore the " folder " EFS backup .. So I tried various ways, In the end I tried to make an IMG file of that folder by ImgBurn and then restored it using this script
I got into a FOREVER boot loop, I tried to unroot, i tried to go back to stock firmware, I tried to reflash v9 Moon ROM and v10 again, I tried everything .. Also getting failed to mount /efs in recovery.
It's just killing me and I actually lost hope
So I was wondering if there's a way to reset my counter so I can send it to warranty.
Since I can't boot up to use Triangle away, Any solution ?

Sorry, but, you pretty much screwed your EFS partition by doing serious mistakes.
First of all, that script is backing up/restoring as RAW image that is taken by DD
I never tried to backup EFS using TWRP. But probably it's taking the file(s) in /EFS partition, not taking a RAW image.
So you tried to create a raw image from TWRP's EFS files using ImgBurn and restored it using DD (that script does that). Big mistake.
All you had to do was restoring EFS back using TWRP
However I think you can still restore EFS if you still have the EFS backup taken by TWRP?
If yes
Find a EFS raw image of Note 2 from somewhere (from a friend or internet...)
It has to be taken by DD (script also will work)
Then restore it using that script
Then enter into TWRP and restore your EFS which you took using TWRP before.

Thanks in advance, So let me get this straight .. I have to look for a EFS img backup from a friend or from internet and restore it then restore the folder backup that I took using AROMA ?
should he be using the same ROM/baseband/kernel/etc or even from my country ?

As long as the device model matches like n7100, it should work. It doesn't has to be same ROM/baseband/kernel.

Would this method work ?
I came across it while googling for an EFS backup.

Your EFS partition corrupted because of your writing improper image.
That's why you can't get your EFS partition mounted.
You still need a raw image of EFS partition of Note 2, then restore your EFS backup properly.

Ok a guy was nice enough and gave me his IMG backup ..
Now I'm stuck at how to restore it !
I mean I can't use the script because it needs the phone to be booted up and android debugging on.

Don't do anything. I'm going to make CWM update zip for you. I'm a bit busy right now.
Put your efs.img file into the root folder of the zip file
Then flash it via CWM or TWRP
Then restore you original EFS files

No, I meant I hope you made a nandroid backup before deleting those system files. If you did make it, do a restore and everything should be back to normal.

there is no 3.20 ruu and a nandroid backup does not restore the imei otherwise we could not change to other backups (from other people like in the nandroid backup thread) your problem is a bit more serious. Because how do we restore a imei everytime after a full wipe and custom rom ? The parts you talk about are not stored in a rom or a backup !
just flash a stockish rom like ARHD with a full wipe (and flash the boot.img via fastboot) and see if that helps !
I need someone who has done nandroid backup for GT-I9190 running on stock rom (4.4.2). One of my friends has not computer and he wants to flash stock rom via cwm. If someone has nandroid backup and upload for me, I will really appreciate that. Thank you
Nobody will post an nandroid backup because it contains all personal data, IMEI, contacts, messages and so on.
I remember that there is a EFS option in TWRP. If you don't check EFS option, it will not backup EFS.

Hello @Nilshalok,
use the GUIDE from the official OnePlus Forum for backing up your EFS without TWRP.
use oficial twrp from here https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/. i used this for the first backup of efs,and then,the most important thing i restored my efs when i lost it.
Hi, I have reset the EFS partations of the phone with TWRP to write new IMEI. I had a QCN backup before resetting, but I hadn't taken an EFS backup. Now when I try to restore the IMEI of the phone with QCN, the phone does not switch on and goes to the TWRP screen. I found patched QCN files from some forums. But they only fix IMEI 2. I can write IMEI numbers with IMEI Dual Write. However, the network does not come at that time. Please help me. How do I fix phone original IMEI?
