Can SOMEONE Send to me any backup? pleaseeee it's very important...
Thank You Soooo much...
my knowledge: "A partition on your internal memory containing important data including the IMEI. If the data in this partition gets corrupt, you will lose your IMEI" it seems to be unique to each phone unfortunately.

Good evening.
I made a nanroid backup under the assumption that it backed up everything. (including files on SD) is this a correct to assume?
After parting the sd card for App2sd I discovered my photos were gone. I went to run recovery and recovered but no picture files...
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. It wiped out all my other backups that were stored on SD.

Its not good to assume. Lesson learned.... Partitioning, not parting, will erase EVERYthing on what you are partitioning. Sorry bro, they are gone. Im not sure if a partition will overwrite the old data, or just delete the record of it. If it's the latter of the two i would get that SD card into a disk utility program asap. Every time something new is written to the card though the less likely you are to get any of the data back.
So now you know...
1. nandroid only backs up the phone itself.
2. you should backup your sd card to your computer
3. dont assume
and last but not least...
4. if you have never done anything like this, make sure you read ALL the steps first...
Oh boy. Yes those are gone. Nandroid only backs up the phone image to the sd card, not the phone image + the sd card itself. Formatting erases everything like he said. Assumptions are always good to make.
It was parting
No...it was partitioning.

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.
My Phone is S4 i9500. I installed the program called SWAPPER. After changing some preferances i run the program and phone shut down. When i start the phone again it stuck on GALAXY S4 Logo. I enter the Recovery mod i realized that error ''not mount efs''.
I know the problem. I remember that SWAPPER use ''mmcblkop3'' as default and i forget to change before it run and SWAPPER formatted the place ''mmcblkop3'' as swappfile format. It means that the places containing efs information formatted.
I install the stoch firmware and using ADB shell and made system working but IMEI is like 0049........ Everything works normally including wifi but phone does not.
1-First of all i need to mount EFS folder. I read many forums but anyhow i coud not mount efs folder. Does someone knows how to efs is mounted? To mount efs can we use ODIN ? and how?
2- Then after i need information to save my original IMEI and the t info to use phone normally.
I will be pleased if someone help me.
Best Regards,
An install of your stock ROM, coupled with a PIT file, should reformat the internal storage and restore access to the EFS partition. However, your problem is that prior to playing around with your S4 you didn't make a comprehensive backup using Wanam's EFS Backup tool. As a result, your IMEI has likely been electronically wiped from the phone as if it never existed. That means that there's no way to "save" your IMEI. Instead, you'll need to have the IMEI rewritten into the appropriate locations in the device, and that means taking it to a service center.

If we write a new IMEI ?
It can be done, but that's not something that can be discussed here. Site rules.
Hi all sorry for asking a dumb question, but would "format data" button inside TWRP's Wipe section (the button above factory reset) also delete a TWRP backup?

If your twrp backup in microsd card then it will not delete.
"Format data" will delete ( system/data/cache/dalvic cache/internal storage)
If you are planning to clean your device to install new clean rom then Make a backup of current rom and all your data in microsd card/usb drive before you do this.
So if the backup was in the internal sd it would have been deleted then right?

Yes it will be deleted
Go to my files and copy entire TWRP folder from internal storage to microsd card if you need your backup.
Thanks!

After FORMAT DATA there is nothing there to recover.
Everything has gone, sorry.
Only if you had made a TWRP backup, stored in the external sdcard, then you could restore it and get your DATA files back.
But in that case also, your personal files(pictures, music etc) are not included in this back up.
Only APPS data, meaning files that make apps working, are restored this way.
ALL your personal data, are stored in the internal storage.
If you have performed a DATA format, nothing is there anymore.

So you can recover data if it was not overwritten, even if it was deleted. You can use special software.
Which options do we need to select to backup existing ROM? And to do a recover in case of device failure.
Boot? System? System Image? Vendor? Vendor Image?
Maybe a dumb question but: If you format data, can you boot in current rom?

No, you can't lol. Format data wipes everything on the storage of the device. You better install a rom after wiping everything or you will get stuck in bootloader / bootloops.
In some a/b slot devices, if you don't have a rom installed, your custom recovery is also wiped because it usually resides on the boot.img.

If those dates sectors have been overwritten then no. It all comes down to which sectors have been overwritten
So basically what u r saying is if i wipe data to install twrp i still can recover the data..

Possible. The data was deleted wasn't actually deleted. But only marked for deletion. So as you as new data it will follow a write scheme normally way it works on android is say a disk it will work from front to back and then start back at the beginning. To minimize write cycles so to prolong ssd type memory the deleted data isn't deleted until the next write cycles come around to those disk sectors. Which user data is in a different location. But every day that goes by you risk losing more and more
