I tried to backup the IMEI in my Moto G4 Plus, but the efs folder does not appear in the file manager, nor is there an option to backup the EFS folder in TWRP. Is there any alternative way of backing up the IMEI? I want to install a custom rom, but what about the fear of corrupting the IMEI? Please help me:crying::crying:

So I did the tab unlock, but the backup gone wrong.
Know I have a bogus IMEI and can't use market, it just displays a weird one...
Is there any change I can recreat a correct EFS folder to use?
My Tab is form Portugal, TMN.
Thank you
Did you do the unlock by xediting the nv.data.bin file ? If so you should have in your efs folder a nv.data.bak file. Most probably it's a good copy of your nv.data.bin file (look at the file property and check the creation/modify date.....
No, I didnt edit the file, I downloaded the repair_nv filea exchaged it.
Also, hen I open my efs backup the tar file is empy, it show no files...
Can you sugest any file manager for it?
Or can you tell me the adb command to try and restore that backup?
thanx
You need to have root access in order to see the content of the efs folder. Rootexplorer is an excellent tool, well worth the price.
Hi,
I've flashed a new ROM, and found that my IMEI is now 004999010640000 (Generic)
I have a backup of my efs folder.
How do I restore it from the backup?
It looks like when I delete the efs folder, the system recreates it automatically...
What's the way to do it?
Thanks
Gil
I fixed this problem and it took me 4 hours to fix it!
Your real IMEI show on under the battery where you see the model phone.
You need to copy the numbers (without the / if u have this) to this website http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php this website make ur imei to md5 .
After you have created the md5 go to efs folder via root explorer and you need to see the file (.nv_data.bak.md5 or nv_data.bak.md5) On this file you see the md5 of the currety copy the md5 u created to the files and close everything and restart ur phone
I already have a working efs backedup
I already have a working efs backed up!
The thing is that when I copy the files from the backup on the efs folder, they get reverted automatically... I don't know what's doing it...
The backup date is older than the current files... this might be the problem...
but how do I make it work?
Is the security and permissions set up correctly on your backup efs?

Did you tried to delete the folder and replace the efs folder backup?
I think you have to copy both the files and the hidden files (starting with a dot) from your backup..
The files with a dot are there to prevent you from accidentally deleting your originals and be left with nothing
The only files I see are:
1) .nv_state
2) bluetooth
3) imei
4) lost+found
5) nv.log
6) nv_data.bin
7) nv_data.bin.md5
Should I choose the file that says: "nv_data.bin.md5"?
If you have backuped your efs folder, this thread can help you:

I think there is a lot of confusion going on around here... so just to be clear...
What file should I have in my efs backup, including the hidden one?
Thanks!
No backup of EFS folder. I believe it was during my attempt to backup that I corrupted the folder.

I have the same situation, same files as posted above, anyone has any idea?
Hi, i copied my EFS folder to my PC with rood explorer, is this a safe backup, or do i need a backup with a program like it was done with K-Tool on the S3.
If my IMEI gets deleted can i restore it with a simple EFS folder backup, (if so how)
If not, how can i backup the EFS with GT-I9500 XXUBMF8, i tried the touch recovery EFS custom backup, but i kept getting empty folders where the backup was supposed to be copied, (even tho it sayed that the backup was succesfull). Is there another way?

Use this and next time, search first .
It seems that, for somehwat reason, my IMEI corrupted after switching back from TMo UK to my italian carrier. I couldn't connect to the radio right after having landed.
I did a backup of EFS folder about 1 year ago.
However, copyng nv_data.bin and imei folder from the backup to /efs folder, and changing the permissions (chown set to "radio"), didn't work.
I still get "baseband unknown" and no IMEI.
I tried using Root Explorer and adb: the result is the same.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
restore a nand with non corrupted efs folder, if that fails odin back to stock and work your way back up to kk.
Yep, I eventually ODIN'ed to stock.
I wonder why I couldn't restore my backup of EFS folder...
My i9500 was stallen / i changed its IMEI before it stolen , i do not remember the imei ,
i have an EFS image of it.
is there any way to know imei from EFS backup?
i know i can restore it by Clockworld recovery to another phone
but no other i9500 in reach.
any solution?
I am not completely sure but try EFS Pro if it is compatible with your EFS backup file. There is PIT editor embedded to the program. This might perhaps allow you to find out IMEI code.
