How to do a proper EFS (imei) backup on the 9505?

Hey fellas, I just bought my S4 yesterday and rooted it as soon as I got home. I want to flash another ROM to it, but I am afraid the imei might disappear etc.
I have searched the forum but not found a really good answer. Some people claim you only have to copy the EFS folder in root explorer and save it on your SD-card. Some people say you have to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41559366&postcount=2
That didn't work on my i9505 (rooted with CF-auto-root).
So, how do I properly take a backup of the EFS and IMEI stuff before I start playing around with ROMs etc?

I did that, in Terminal Emulator, it finally worked (i had tried it before but it didn't work), so here are the files I have saved now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Are those all the files I need for a complete IMEI backup?

Hi my friend
You should report that on the correct thread
Either way, you should enter in download mode and use qpst to get it done. You're PC should recognize it as 9006 so you're able to go from 9th step forward witch is quite simple

Dear friend,,, Thanks for your response
I feel hopeful when I see your reply.
Sorry I don't know what is the suitable thread for my problem! I thought it's a problem with my bootloader.
Kindly, Could you explain "9th step for what?" provide me with any link for those steps

Help to compile Huawei Y625 CWM or TWRP

Hello there! I am new to this, I have been reading and trying to compile a recovery for my Huawei Y625-U03 (MSM8121), I hope that my work can help other users with the same model and those who are compiling other variants. The truth is I don't know much about porting... I can compile a recovery.img and probe but I get error with dt.img... however generates a recovery.img without dt. I've been tested importing the file (dt) from the stock rom, run well (with CWM theme, and touch) but I have me the same options of the stock recovery ... any programmer could help me? Greetings from Venezuela

Hello! somebody?... I'm not looking for someone to do it for me ... I can do it but I can not clear my doubts but I seek my problem forum

Bump.-.

Yeah please somebody any guide please .. I have y625 too

If root(SuperSu) is installed in system(most likely it is) it won't be gone when you do factory reset. And as long as you have TWRP recovery, you need only few clicks to get root.
I propably can't help you. But about my earlier post, make sure the changes you made to the "update-script" file are saved in zip. I once had same propblem and realized that changes weren't saved even though winrar said so.
