EFS Backup - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Came from note 2 and there is like a zip file there that will run aroma just to back up or restore efs. Is there like that here? How can i back up my efs?

u can try rooting it , get root explorer and then go into efs folder se if u can se any .bak files if so rename the back to .bin
try to flash back the original firmware that was before you flashed the new one.
Yes there are bak files. All have to be changed to .bin extension???

You want to back up your apps emails texts etc? Or something more?

I need to backup the whole system of my 9505.
Then you'll need to root and flash a recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP. You can backup the entire system through those.

Should have think of this (slapped forehead). Use PhiliZ recovery to do the job. Thanks guys for all the info given.

[Q] Bricked build.prop

I had edited my build.prop file in /system and now phone is stuck. I have stock nc1 with root. I can get to download mode or stock recovery. Is there any way to adb sideload a proper build.prop file? or is there a way to flash from sd card?
Do you have safestrap and did you make a backup before changing the build.prop? If so just restore it. If not Odin is going to be your friend.

Backup all items on internal storage and back up your current rom.
Not sure with official lollipop but leak version will wipe your phone storage.
Most importantly backup your efs+imei just in case.
I didnt backup anything before updating via odin. I got the firmware from sammobile.
Nothing was lost.

Well maybe you don't need it. Once you flash lollipop it's quite risky to go back to kit kat. Possible to downgrade, if you like some challenge.
So just go ahead flash lollipop with odin.
