There's an app called KTool that I think can restore EFS .tar files.
Or install EFS Pro on your computer and do it that way

I am totally new to flashing. I just backed up my IMEI (created a rfs file using Terminal Emulator and just copied of the efs folder to my sdcard).
My question is that suppose I happen to lose my IMEI on flashing, can I recover it by simply copying the contents of the backed up efs folder to the original folder using root explorer?
yeah, its as simple as that

Thanks but I am not sure how I would do that. I went through the IMEI backup and restore thread. So is this what I have to do?
1. Select the .ops file.
2. In the efs section, add the file and not select the one package option.
3. Connect my phone in download mode
4. Flash
Is this method correct?

DO IT AT UR OWN RISK!

Have a look at this Thread also..
Gives the basics of different ways of mounting the efs partion.
Its safe to use the ADB method i guess.
But flashing with efs.tar file should work.

EFS is personal if I'm correct , there is no use if someone gave there EFS.
If efs erased. efs be written with the same model. will be the only default imei.
Why would anyone give you their imei number?
Sent from the mighty Note II
write full efs from i9300. restored imei z3x. ALL DONE
Hello,
I am a bit anxious about my phone. It works well under omega 3.1 but I was checking my saves and I foud that:
1) My EFS folder is empty
2) I have two efs backup files but they seem rather small (35k each) ans they are dated 1970 I am pretty sure they are empty
3) my IMEI is correct when I go into about phone (But does not appear when I dial *#06#
Is there something wrong ?
The Imei seems good but as the efs folder is empty it should not...
Any idea ?

I am not sure how to do it with terminal emulator.
After flashing TWRP recovery and while the phone was brand new I made a full backup of the phone and inside there is a efs backup wich is 35k
Also I made another backup made with twrp recovery and it is 35 k again for the efs.ext4.win
Is that a normal size ?

I did it and it created a 13.62 mb file.
However I dont know if there is something inside as there is no file in efs folder. It may have copied blank data ?

Yes I did it also for the m9kefs partitions and everything is stored in safe place.
Many thanks to you !
My efs (files and folders inside) is 3.xx kb and is correct.
The whole partition of efs is about 13.xx mb.
Even the efs folder has no files in it or have,
the size of the partition remain the same.
Thanks.

And any idea why the efs folder is empty ? Is the efs a hidden partition and the folder just a dumb file or symbolic link ?

what explorer are you using?
download attached file manager, install it. open it, go to the settings of file manager, check "root explorer" (grant permission) and check "mount system folder". now see efs folder.
I just rooted my brand new note3 but I forgot to backup my EFS before flashing X-note... Now I made a backup on X-note rom, is it still ok for restore if I ever lost my EFS? Thank you
As long as you have the EFS file then it should be OK, keep it seperated from your internal HD if possible also!
EDIT: Btw the EFS file is around 14MB or so -
darn,.. my backup only 408KBs. I use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447342 result said Everything is OK..
any idea why my file is so small?
from my root explorer ... the efs folder only 1.4MB big
OH! when i decompressed the file, there is disk image file is around 14MB
how do i restore it? btw.... I throw this compressed winrar file into ODIN? or decompress first, and then select these individual files accordingly

Sounds like it's OK.
Restoring I'm not so sure, due to me not having done it myself, I know you need busybox installed though or you'll encounter problems. Be warned EFS cause be a major ballache to do from people I've seen trying to restore, some have no issues though.
