I have make the Wrong way.
Created a EFS Backup but the Tool Saved it on the sdcard0 not on the extSDcard.
deleted all inkl inkl the EFS Folder and Formated all Folder (not the extsfcard).
Then i reflashed a Rom and kernel after Android was booted i got Factory Message and the IMEI and S/N was dead.
After search all Folders for the Backup i realized it was on the Partition what i have formated
S/N was easy to Recreate but probaly i didnt found the IMEI files to Edit.
Now i have this Fake Imei 04999xxxx and my Phone unusable now.
Did any way exist to recreate the the correct IMEI.
I have an Copy of the EFS but with the Fakeimei.
Hope any has a Way or Programm to fix it again.
Please Without Boxes or Moneycost Things.
Sry fro the Bad English but isnt my Naturaly Language.
I have no nv_data in efs folder in is it located somewhere else on i9505.
Hi. I used an app called Samsung tool to back up my efs to external SD card but cannot see the backup anywhere with file explorer. Thanks? using sgs4 cm11 m12
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck
Moved!
You can see invisible files using Root Explorer.
Is copying the efs folder to a pc same as backing up?
From what I can see, yes. However, I'd also use Samsung Tool (search the forum for it) so you can back EFS up into an .IMG file, in case there is hidden information in the EFS partition that backing up the files themselves would miss.
Hi All,
I have EFS folder copied to my computer. What can I do to restore that folder so that I can restore from Odin? My EFS folder was deleted and restoring stock rom is showing DRK error.
Thanks in Advance.

A TWRP backup? Put it on the root of an SD card, insert it in the phone, start TWRP and restore from the SD card.
Actually I just dragged it in to the pc...now though it have quite 1 or 2gb size...it is showing empty...I think I forgot to follow ADB fastboot pull push command..if still possible to restore then it would be great...

Sorry, I have no idea what you are saying...
If you backed up your TWRP directory (XXX storage/TWRP/BACKUP), copy it back to the "new" TWRP directory on the device... it is not a single file, you need the whole backup directory for your device to restore.
When I took backup of boot efs persist...then I copied it in my pc...and formatted Moto g5 plus...but now since I have that backup file in pc I copied it in mobile ..then I tried to restore but it is not showing there... although it has stock persist boot efs inside that file...my question is how can I restore it...

You have to put it back in the TWRP/BACKUP folder
