[Q] Backup EFS - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need your advice please.
On my previous phone GS3 I was able to backup my EFS without root the equipment.
After searching didn´t found any solution to Note 3 to backup EFS without root the equipment.
Is this true or I didn´t search enough?
Do you know any solution to backup Note 3 EFS without root?
Thanks for your support.

1- So far I know, you cannot backup EFS without root permission.
2- If your phone has not been rooted, there is no reason to backup EFS folder Because you cannot mess it up. Once you have rooted, you will backup immediately.

Okay but even with official firmware there is some risk.
Thanks for your reply.

official firmware won't mess your EFS folder, as long as you flash the correct firmware for your device. But if you flash other device firmware onto your device, it will be different story.
backup EFS is strongly advised when you rooted your device, and you want to play around with the system / partition / ROM / kernel / and other things which dealing with system and partition.

Yes you are talking on some, lets say extreme situations, but to prevents surprises even in stock firmware why not backup EFS!
On my previous GS3 even not root I was able to backup EFS without root.

This is due to Samsung policy.
For example in my app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ >> USAGE HISTORY, it needs root to read the Charger Connect Counter on Galaxy Note 3, but on Galaxy S5 you can read this counter without root access.

So your opinion is that if I flash stock firmware should be okay?
Asking this because my phone bought in Portugal has firmware from Slovakia and I believe there is newer versions from other countries.

If you don´t flash lower version Andorid (you can´not due to Knox ) it will be OK

No talking about the available versions of 4.4.2

So after searching a lot seems that the only option to backup my EFS it to root my Note 3.
Strange thing because on my previous GS3 don´t need root to back up EFS.
Different equipment’s, different things. Okay.
I don´t need root on my Note 3. I am pretty satisfied with my Note 3 performance.
Will you root your Note 3 just to be able to backup EFS?
Bad things can happened and even thinking in just flashing stock firmware I would be more serene having EFS files just in case anything goes wrong!

As I have said, it is due to Samsung's policy.

Ok. I understand.
But tell me your opinion: if you don´t need root will you root Note 3 just to be able to backup EFS files?

I don't think my opinion is useful for you Because I always root my Android phone right after 1 week after purchasing.
Ok let's say root and backup EFS folder. My opinion is if you don't have root access, there is no chance to disturb the EFS folder, so no need to root.
But if you root, you can do many powerful things with your phone, not only to backup EFS folder.
You better see this topic about Pros and cons of a rooted Note 3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547606

I understand your point but my Note 3 is okay this way. I am not a heavy user so don´t need to flash custom firmware and have a custom kernel to improve my Note 3.
If I have 100% certain that flashing only stock firmware will never mess with EFS I will not consider root it but….

Rooting your phone will not delete or touch any of your data, music, videos, photos or anything else.
There is no need to backup anything at all just for rooting purposes.
Good luck!

Returning to stock

Hello all,
I want to return to an unrooted stock rom but just want to check things first before I do.....
If I download the latest stock firmware from samfirmware and flash with odin will I -
1- loose root???
2- be able to restore my data + apps etc using Titanium Backup or do I need root access (if lost) to do this???
3- need to flash anything else, modems etc???
Im experienced with flashing custom roms etc but have never returned to full stock on the S4.
Im waiting delivery of my NotePro 12.2 and am still using my Note 2 for work purposes and want all my devices to be able to talk to each orher as Samsung intended (well try it at least)

#1: you will loose root.
#2: you will not be able to restore apps+data using titanium backup (titanium backup requires root)
#3: you will need to root the phone by flashing a zip file like cf-autoroot.
#4: if the stock firmware you plan to flash is 4.3 you should read up and find out about KNOX first.
Good luck!

Cconfirmed 4.2 backups will restore on 4.4 Bootloader

Confirmed: you can restore 4.2.2 base rom backups after you've Odin flashed the 4.4 kk update with the new bootloader...just an FYI as I've been able to successfully restore back and forth between 4.2 and 4.4 base roms

Easier said than done... You fail to mention: Unless your app has bug fixes 4.4.2 will cause issues and not to do a full restore. Also you led us to believe you can restore to 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 from 4.4.2. Only the apps you can do so, unless they are OEM specific and are only made for 4.4.2.

actually I didn't fail to mention anything...i did a full normal full wipe of 4.4.2 after I Odin flashed it, rooted and Odin flashed recovery then a normal full restore of 4.2.2 system apps kernel the whole deal.....even my custom kernel restored back fine dude just as I said with zero issues...and to be clear I never once mentioned 4.1 did I? You said 4.1 stop putting words in my mouth....if there had been issues I would've mentioned it...all my apps and root were in tact and those I greenified were still hibernating, even my Wanam them came back dude.....my 4.2.2 rom and apps restored flawlessly so I'd appreciate you not put words in my mouth again thanks
Mega
Dude your apps have nothing to do with anything...all apps that you had on 4.4 get wiped if you do a proper wipe then your 4.2 apps restore with the rest of the system and data apps partition if you backed them up so maybe if you knew what you were talking about you wouldn't be trying to call me out mistakenly
Whoa whoa whoa children please stop where you are right now. Let me clarify some things...
Yes, you can restore 4.2.2 using Odin to flash the stock tar file.
No, the bootloader WILL NOT be rolled back, once you have a Knox bootloader there is no going back unless you have the equipment and resources to basically JTAG your device to perform a NAND flash of the original bootloader to the device's eMMC controller. This will wipe your entire eMMC which is your internal storage so you will lose everything.

Just to confirm, downgrading to 4.2.2 via pc odin is still possible without any ill effects other than the knox flag being tripped permanently?
and this would be with the stock 4.2.2 rom package from sammobile, no editing, decompiling or any of the sorts???:laugh::silly:

You can definitely flash the stock 4.2.2 tar file using Odin 3.07 without any problems. I suggest wiping data and cache first.
You should also be able to flash any custom ROM using a custom recovery such as PhilZ CWM and perform a restoration of any backup without any problems other than Knox counter being tripped.

I've only used stock and the FlexNote 4.4.2 ROM from @civato since upgrading to KitKat but I think some users have experienced issues with charging when the 4.4.2 bootloader is installed in combination with a 4.2.x ROM.
The 4.2.x ROM still works but there may be a few glitches elsewhere.

Sure there's always gonna be oddities when mixing any systems...but I upgraded via odin to 4.4 and restored 4.2 the day I posted this comfirming downgrade is possible months ago and have stayed on my 4.2 firenote rom with 4.4 bootloader since without issue so sure with anything your mileage may vary depending in your device but that's always the case on any of the 12 devices I build roms for

Need huge help from X Note users

Hi xda experts,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE SM-N9005
Android 4.4.2 KitKat
Baseband Version: N9005XXUENB1
Build Number: KOT49H.N9005XXUENB1
Rooted Stock Firmware.
Anyway, I'm not a noob, but it's just the fact that I'm a little afraid to flash a custom rom like X-Note. I'm not afraid it would brick, but I'm afraid I would lose IMEI. Just like what happened on my Note 2. I installed an app I found here on XDA called Samsung Tool. I backed up my efs/IMEI through it but I'm still worried. I have a stock Samsung firmware on my phone but I can't flash it til 3 days cause my computer isnt with me. And also, I found threads on sammobile saying they lost IMEI after flashing the stock firmware through ODIN.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Once I rooted and flashed a custom recovery. I don't face any of these problem. Thou so far I flashed many stock custom ROM and MIUI. Never try aosp yet
As long as you have efs backup and make a backup of your stock software you should be fine I'm using x note v 18 and have to say it is one of the best roms I have used up to now

The thing is, occasionally it is not /efs' problem but rather your problem.
Last night I supposedly lost my IMEI when my IMEI hit null/null and my baseband was unknown. I clean flashed Stock S5 port from C-RoM (AOSP).
Then I realized it was because the firmware was incompatible with my device, and once I flashed back to a comfortable custom ROM I know that works, like X-Note, everything came back to life.
If nothing happened using TWRP, then nothing was wrong with your efs. I was about to restore my efs backup but then I tried alternatives.

SM-N910C Rooting Questions

Hi Guys,
I ordered SM-N910C (Note4) and I should be able to received them sometime nextweek. Now, being said, rooting the device came into my mind .
1. SM-N910C (open line/ not carrier lock) can be rooted as long as its Boothloader unlocked , right? - if boothloader lock, is there a way to unlock it at this point?
2. Once I rooted and Installed TWRP/CWM, can I restore them to default/ Stock recovery ?
3. Once rooted, do I still get update on Samsung Apps via Samsung store?
4. Once rooted, Can i still update the firmware as soon as Samsung released new version such as 5.0 (understand that I need to manually upgrade it) - I think I read somewhere that if Note 4 is rooted, you will not be able to upgrade to 5.0 even doing it manually, im not sure if it is 100% correct.
5. Once rooted, other samsung apps will still work , right? such S Healh, S Voice, etc (all N4 feature).. is there any feature/ samsung app that stops working as soon as we root the device?
6. I know Note4 camera is really good, but I found this site, that we can still boost Note4 camera by replacing the camera apk, http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-boost-galaxy-note-4-camera-performance-using-mod-1473882 .. anybody already tested this ? wondering how it performs..
7. Planning to root it using CF Auto Root.
I understand that rooting N4 will trip Knox (let me know if there are new procedure that will not trip knox).
Thanks
1.You can root without touching bootloader.
2.Yes
3.Yes
4.Yes. but you have to flash stock ROM manually with odin (Never heard you can't flash ROM with odin bcoz of rooted status)
5.There may be some app got broken like S health,screen mirror and some banking app etc . but almost have FIX for it.
6.Your linked content is from XDA source only, search in theme and app section
7. My preferred method is flash CWM/TWRP and flash SuperSU zip (CF auto differ only by keeping recovery stock, which actually have no meaning but lot limitation is there)
No method there to root without tripping knox
PS : This topic goes to Q&A NOT in development
1.i don't think any note4's BL is Locked...or if there is any there will be unlockers soon.
2.yes, with odin.
3.yes.
4.you can update it with Odin.where do you Read it??! (if there was any problem you can use Custom Roms..Or Deodexed Lollipop Roms and Flash Them via Recovery)
5.i know if you root New Samsung Devices With CF-Root Method and others like it KNOX Will Trip...its mean All Security things that Use Knox will not work anymore Like Billing Services...go to settings/about phone and see them.
6......i don't know too
7.see 5.
i didn't root my N910C too and waiting for new procedure

I;ve been looking for CF-Auto-Root file for Note 4 SM-N910C, and I only found this.

I am from Philippines , do you think above file will be compatible? What will be the effect? and I am not sure where my SM-N910C came from as I also saw bunch of SM-N910C from different country.
Thanks.
Hi guys do you know if we can expect a knox 0x0 root method, like towelroot for our notes?
Not at this point, definitely rooting will trip Knox 0x1, at least for now.

Please update us when you already rooted it and how it goes. My note 4 will arrive next week.
The cf-auto-root I found is Thailand version of SM-N910C, I'm afraid that it might not compatible with other version SM-N910C, or we encounter issues (different langauage?)

Please update us when you already rooted it and how it goes. My note 4 will arrive next week.
The cf-auto-root I found is Thailand version of SM-N910C, I'm afraid that it might not compatible with other version SM-N910C, or we encounter issues (different langauage?)
Anybody who tried this on any SM-N910S?
Thanks

You needs to have stock recovery in tar version.

download official .tar.md5 ROM file from sammobile or if you have one use it.open it with Winrar.there is recovery.img , extract it.
make a tar file with this img file...you can do it with linux or a batch file in windows like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
HI guys,
After rooting, would you recommend installing TWRP or just use stoxk recovery? And what is the advantage of TWRP over stock recovery?

With TWRP or other recovery, you can flash custom ROMs and MODs. That is the only purpose of it.
