[Q] nandroid backup quiestion

I currenty running Thor rom 14.2 and i want to return to stock 3.1.
I have a nandroid backup but accidentally i deleted .txt files inside.
Could i restore it or my tablet will brick
anyone??
First of all: Remember xda-developers is quite international so the person with the answer to your question may be asleep or working at the time you post...
Other than that: If you deleted part of your backup that's bad. You may get away with a partial (possibly non-functional) restore, or restore may fail altogether... Both shouldn't brick your tab, but you might have to do a full wipe and configure your rom from scratch; it may well be worth trying a restore, though, as you won't be causing any more damage anyway if your tab doesn't work anymore. Just make another nandroid backup in case you decide things were better before you hit the restore button... As long as you don't accidentally kill your recovery, android devices are incredibly hard to brick.

I just checked a number of nandroid backups of mine and the only ".txt" file that I could see was uid.txt in the main backup directory that contained the ".img", ".tar", and ".md5" files.
You could just run another nandroid BU of your current system and copy over the uid.txt file from that one to replace the one that you deleted. The uid.txt file should be the same from one BU to the next.

Thanks
Thanks for your help
So if i create a .txt file with my id number my restore will work?
Is there another way to restore to stock.

If you just put a text file with some random information in it, it may not work right.
Here is the procedure that was suggested:
Make a backup of your current settings
make a copy of the text file in that most recent backup
place that copied text file in the backup with the missing text file
try to restore the backup that was missing the text file, which you just copied the text file to

[Q] How to back up EFS on GT-I9500 XXUBMF8?

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?

[Q] TWRP / Kies / Helium Backup.

Hi
While updating my S4 i9505 to newer boatloader / firmware (XXUGNH8 / Imperium), I made a backup using TWRP on Ext-card, also used Kies to make a backup of all the files on PC, used Helium to back-up application data.
However, after I updated the firmware, I lost some of the files which were mainly under the directory of "programdata". I tried to restore data files from TWRP, but of no use. Tried complete restore of the previous firmware (Omega), but it didn't get back my "programdata" folder.
I can find a few files under Kies backup, but these are mainly 0 kb files. Somebody please help me to restore my "LOST" files.
Regards,
Bump

You can try to manually extract the files from your backup using something like 7zip on your pc.

IMEI backup

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:

If you have root access, copy this folder to /data/data then reboot.
