IMEI backup/restore tool for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active GT-I9295
Brought to you by AntaresOne​
Explanation
The Qualcomm variant of Galaxy S4 doesn't have IMEI stored in EFS as most people think, it's stored in another place. Partitions to backup/restore are 8, each is required by the system to have IMEI. These are: EFS, modemst1, modemst2, m9kefs1, m9kefs2, m9kefs3, backup and fsg. Sometimes may happen that while modding your phone you lose IMEI, that's why I made this tool. It doesn't do miracles, so if you lose IMEI and don't have a backup, you're lost.
Features
Complete IMEI backup
Autozipping of saved partitions
Installation
Download tool from the link below
Put the zip file in your sdcard
Reboot in recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Choose downloaded zip file
Reboot system
Usage
When installed, the "imeibkp" executable goes in /system/bin. Obviously root is a must. This is not an app, so to run it you must use Terminal Emulator. It's very user-friendly and n00b-approved (joking :laugh, normally you shouldn't run into issues while using it.
Open Terminal Emulator
Write su and press enter (this is to obtain root access)
Invoke this tool by writing imeibkp and pressing enter
To restore just invoke again imeibkp
In case you want to export your backup, it is in /sdcard/IMEIBackup (Internal Memory on PC through USB connection)
If you change ROM you'll lose this tool, in this case just follow again Installation steps

Just a little idea for you...If you make an empty data partition too,You can make sure that the rom does a factory reset while its been flashing

I do not quite understand what you mean, but in order to reset a user's data is sufficient to add to the cache.img command wipe data...

Please can you help a noob - ROM seems extremely small
Hi I have been hunting for a tool to do a "complete" backup of my S3 so I can restore it in one go after playing with other ROMS and get back to Stock easily. So seeing this looked fantastic. I have run steps 1 , 4 and 10 .
The ROM i get is only 27,161 KB , and as the stock rom I flashed was over 1 gb I wonder if I have done something wrong and I am afraid to try flashing this with Odin . Especially when I did a NANDROID Backup from S3 Toolkit and this is 1.6gb .
Any advice would be well received .

You forgot step 5! configure tool, compile and install zlib and compile ext4_utils, and got empty image system.img...
is there a chance of a port to cygwin?
I like how the title says it supports any device and then the first post says it supports less than 10 devices.
Creating .tar.md5 will create images that increase binary counter ?
Edit:
Only with custom recovery

Would be nice to be able to edit before system.img
2. Possible to edit a factory system.img that I have on pc?

Nandroid Backup Without Booting Into Recovery

Hello I found this interesting thread where you can make a nandroid backup without booting into recovery! Credit goes all to the developer..
Here is the link to his thread
Link to his thread here
ameer1234567890 said:
Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool, namely Online Nandroid, which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. Originally I developed Online Nandroid specifically for Xperia devices, but now I am releasing it for all android devices.
This tool, eventhough called "Online Nandroid", does not upload/save backups to any online/cloud services. Online here means that it does backup while phone is live or still running Android.
The short name onandroid is meant to be pronouced as o-nandroid or o'nandroid and NOT on-android.

Usage:

To make life a lot easier just go to Google Play and get Online Nandroid Backup * ROOT

The GUI developed by Thomas Otero makes it much more user friendly (and of course he properly credits Ameer for his work). It even checks for updated versions of the script.

Sounds like a bad efs, a backup should ALWAYS be made before touching the simlock things.
In S4 EFS contains IMEI, simlock infos, some radio calibration data, gyroscope sensor calibration data, bluetooth & wifi MAC addresses, some carrier things, DRM stuff and some other things..

Transfer NANDROID Backup from broken D5803 Device to another intact D5803 Device

Hi, I used TWRP to create the following NANDROID Backup:
{
"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"
}
The backup source phone ( D5803_No1 ) has a touchscreen that does not work anymore.
I have another z3c phone ( lets call it D5803_No2 ) with a partially broken touchscreen and an intact z3c ( D5803_No3 ).
I used the same software stack to install a rootable stock 5.1.1 ROM, root and install TWRP on device D5803_No1, D5803_No2 and D5803_No3 ( the fully intact one )
That means all on all 3 Phones:
I used flashtool-0.9.20.0-windows.exe to flash D5803_23.4.A.1.264_1289-4696_R8C.ftf ( which was a modified 5.1.1 ROM that I could root with giefroot_v3.1 ) and then install XZDualRecovery.
Phone D5803_No1 was the one I used on a daily basis before the touchscreen broke.
Now I tried the following:
Restore a fully NANDROID Backup ( as seen in the screenshot above ) that I created with my broken daily use Phone D5803_No1 to the blank rooted D5803_No2.
I did not wipe anything on D5803_No2 before and I checked to restore all 5 Paritions that I backed up.
To recover a backup from a foreign device I had also to do the following step TWRP recovery doesn't show the backup file. Problem with restoring nandroid.
When it came to the /data partition I got an error in TWRP ( I think something like "cannot wipe /data" but not sure anymore ) and my only option was to reboot the phone.
Now it is bricked, not discovered by flashtool anymore.
I read here that you will hard brick your device if you try to flash the TA from one device to another ( what I tired to do ).
My question is:
1. Has anybody any experience with transferring a NANDROID Backup from one phone to another ( same model of course )
2.
If there is not the answer "it is definitely not possible to transfer a backup to another phone"
Which partitions should I try to recover from D5803_No1 to D5803_No3 ( the fully intact one ) to minimize the chance of a ( soft/hard) brick ? Should I wipe some partitions before recovering ?
Yes, flashing a TA backup from another Z3c will hard-brick the phone.
You could try to restore only the data partition on your 3rd z3c and wipe cache + dalvik. From what I read on the forums it should work and boot, but it is very likely that the camera won't work because of some device-specific DRM settings that are stored on the data partition. So actually this isn't recommendable either.
I would advise you to get a USB OTG cable to connect a PC mouse to your 1st z3c and then take a Titanium Backup of all your apps and settings. After this, restore everything you need on your 3rd Z3c.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

This device forces encryption.
To disable forced encryption, mount internal storage(DATA) and disable dm-verity you must flash the boot patcher below:
(Note this MUST be flashed after SuperSU if you intend to root)
1. Boot to Twrp
2. Format Data partition using FORMAT DATA button under Wipe options.
(Note: This will wipe the internal storage)
3. Check DATA is mountable.
4. Install SuperSU (if root is required)
5. Install boot image patch below.
6. Reboot
Boot image patcher:

This one is unstable.
(The fact that this include fstab.ranchu/goldfish for emulators instead of regular fstab.mt6735 means OP takes little effort to do extensive testing..)
Might you want the list of bugs:
[This was tested during my LineageOS testing]
1. It is unable to boot to TWRP if phone powered off
2. Restore EFS failed (almost trash my phone)
3. Sometimes /data and /system won't mount.

my first contribution :victory:
is working on the G532MT
but I realized that it only worked after wipe / data
I had to reboot, and only after that he allowed access to mount OTG and SD, even in other versions I had this problem, but solved that way with this TWRP.
I'm sorry about the writing , I'm brazilian, and to ensure the best understanding I used translate
I also leave here my thanks to all of XDA, for their strength in helping everyone with dedication and responsibility.
God bless you all
thank you, can it be for j2 prime right bro?
