i installed a firmware and had a command to delete all. but I have a backup made with TWRP. is there any way to restore the IMEI?
You will have to flash your stock firmware.

sorry I'm new. I have to search again for a firmware? my backup doesn't work?
If you have a backup in TWRP, IMEI is in "Efs" part.
If you don't have that, flash the stock ROM again and that is how we were going to get your code back.

It doesn't need to have a folder which is under that name. You have to select the backup from your TWRP recovery and there you will find the folder. You cannot find it using file manager.
If you cannot find it even in TWRP recovery when restoring backup, you need to flash your original ROM and your IMEI number will be back.

When I enter into CMW recovery, and click restore, it only shows the backups i have created in recovery mode, well before flashing a new rom I made a backup with Online Nandroid, but I can't seem to restore it because it doesn't show up in the restore recovery screen. Also, I can't seem to find the path for the restore files from the recovery backups.

Not familiar online nandroids at all, but I'm guessing it stores it somewhere other than /data/media/clockworkmod. You'll have to move the nandroid to the default CWM folder most likely.

Sadly that did not work, it backups with .tar files that CMW isn't capable of reading.. So, I have to use a previous restore.

Bummer. As a last resort you don't happen to have CWM set to back up as "dup" under backup type do you?

Nope, I did check to make sure and it was set to default.
Can you post the log file at /data/local/tmp/onandroid.log

I've got 2 sets of note 3, and both rooted and flashed with custom rom. I did a backup on one of them for the stock firmware before i flashed the custom rom. Question is, can i use the backup for the stock rom and restore it on the other note 3? Will there be any issues?
Thanks!

Restore just the System partition and the Boot partition. It should work.
Out of curiosity, why not use odin?

Will that unroot the phone and get it back to stock firmware (the backup is stock firmware)
what i was trying to do is to get the phone back to stock as much as possible.
When you said odin, you mean download a stock firmware and use odin to flash it?

Yes, it will restore everything to stock, exactly like the backup.
But, you should use odin. It will restore everything to stock.

Well, for one, odin will restore EVERYTHING to stock. Including the recovery.
Second, the recovery will probably reject the backup if it checks for MD5, you might have to disable it before restoring.
Third, it is more convenient.

if you want to restore the data it should be no problem. i already test it on all of my phone.

I sadly had to go through that on my old note 2 (super slow connection in my country), well what i found out that to skip md5 check in TWRP, i had to backup my EFS (just to let twrp create its folders and settle up) then i moved the backup from another phone to the folder twrp just created, Restored system and /data with no problems
When the recovery check for MD5, open MD5 file on notepad, clear everything and save it. The recovery will not reject it. Trust me :laugh:
I have a sm-n900 exynos and I have lost my imei and baseband during a Samsung flash. I have a TWRP backup, efs.img backup by dr.ketan's backup tool but nothing is able to restore my efs. I have scanned emmc blocks for bricked blocks and all blocks come back as non-corrupted. may be the partition is corrupted .how do I erase my efs partition to rebuild it. I have tired to flash PIT from ODIN but that too doesn't work.
tried this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...567133&page=36
but need a guide to identify the partitions and how to rebuild them. by any chance anyone know if I could extract twrp backup to files to restore efs or from efs.img so I can use the nv_data.bin, since tried restoring the backups and it didn't restore I feel the partition might be corrupt and hence not being re-written. so might be I have to rebuild the partitions by formatting as explained in this thread. but I don't know exactly the steps for exynos variant. I tried using terminal on twrp but mkef2 command shows mmbcblkp03 doesn't exist which as I have read in posts is the efs partition on this phone and reboots to twrp recovery. and mmbcblkp12 show filesystem too small and reboots to twrp recovery
Can some one upload sm-n900 efs folder may be can try and edit nv_data in hex editer

Could you provide more details about the backup you have:
- What files do you have? What is the name of these files, and also the file sizes?

If that's your EFS back up, I'd remove it, or someone else is gonna enjoy your IMEI

So it seems you have the correct backup for your device. Some more questions:
1- Can you show the link to the EFS tool you have used to make a backup?
2- What is your difficulty now? You don't know how to restore? Cannot restore? Or you already restored but the problem still persist?
Please be noted that you have to restore ALL efs-related partitions, NOT only 1 partition.
At the moment, my app 'IMEI Backup ★Samsung★' can only restore from the backup that has been made by it. But I will add the ability to restore from the backup which was made by other apps, may be in the next release.

That means the above-mentioned app does not work correctly with the restoring job?
Has your phone been rooted? If yes, I will guide you some steps to restore manually.
Yes its rooted and has twrp recovery . It would be just great if you xould guide me

I was doing some rather regular restores from TWRP when all of a sudden I lost my Baseband with no [apparent] way to recover it.
I flashed 4.4 and 5.0 stock ROMs. Nothing. I flashed the modem [CP_N9005XXUGBPB1_MODEM.tar.md5] a zillion times. No luck.
I tried flashing this baby, made by a fellow XDA'er:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
It's based on a script that supposedly fixes this issue. Also no luck. Still stuck on "unknown" baseband, no mobile network
Any help is MUCH appreciated. It's 00:18 and for the past 3 hours I've tried to recover from this...
P.S.: I have a full backup of ALL my partitions, so I think I can recover from this. Somehow...

I have these files among my TWRP backup files:
efs1.emmc.win 14 MB
efs2.emmc.win 3 MB
efs3.emmc.win 3 MB
I always back up all partitions.
Upon restore, I can see an "efs" folder in the root (along side etc, acct, mnt etc) but the folder is empty.
I have NOT taken any manual backups of the efs folder (as in copy the folder itself), nor did I use a tool such as EFS Professional. I found out about these too late
I was hoping that TWRP does what it says when it "backs up" data. Am I to understand that I just destroyed my phone because TWRP didn't back up my efs?
Sadly thats not an EFS backup .
A shop with a JTag should be able to fix it .

Ouch. Much appreciated, despite the bad news .
I'm quite angry on TWRP now. What did they mean by "efs" backup, if there's no actual backup?
So this means they have to access the phone motherboard to do... what? What should I ask them to do? Flash me a new IMEI?
Hello everyone. I now have the TWRP Nougat back up on my computer and want to restore it on my phone but how do I do it? I replaced the BACKUPS folder with the downloaded one and it can't find anything to restore..
Edit: I now realized that I need to flash the restore point, right?

Go to twrp, do any small backup(boot), connect to pc, copy from pc your old backup.
F.e.:
Sdcard/twrp/backups/serialNo/2017...... name of backup/here shuld be files.
