Right to avoid any trouble, Out of the 3 Beta testers, im looking for 1 that must fit the following criteria:
Thanks!
- They must already have two valid working EFS backups. One as a Partition Image (*.img) AND one as a Compressed Archive (*.tar). If your file extension is '.tar.gz' then just rename it to '.tar'.
- You must have a device that already has a corrupt EFS folder. For example, Missing MAC addresses and / or missing or wrong IMEI.
- This volunteer will be testing the Restore function of EFS Pro using both of the Backup types to confirm successful restore.
Thanks!
wow great man
i hope it will work perfectly...let us know when you are finish

Hi... great work on the tool.
But i'm having a little trouble.
Im on I9100XWKI4 and just used CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-42-v4.2-CWM4.tar to root it. I do have the CWM and Superuser apps, but when im trying to Backup the EFS folder it's giving me this :
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
No PERM ROOT Access! Aborting...
Any ideas?
Thanks

good work
Hai lyriquidperfection ,
EFS pro Working very well...I have a corrupted efs file in my gs2.I just backedup efs with EFS pro and then restored it.Now I have baseband and IMEI. thank you so much...
I tried three times to get root access.

I tried three times to get root access.
There is a bug in EFS Pro for everyone using CF-Root. The bug is caused by insecure kernel that CF-Root uses. This results in the No Perm Root Error. A temporary work around is to flash a secure kernel back to your device while using EFS Pro. You will still retain Root permissions but CWM Recovery will be lost. This can be restored by flashing back the CF-Root Kernel when you have finished using EFS Pro. I will get this bug fixed asap.

6. Added more info to Diagnostic Tools tab in Qualcomm NV Tools.
7. Added support for creating ESN / MEID / IMEI patches in CDMA Workshop format.
8. Fixed some additional bugs and optimized code in places.
EFS Pro v2.0.110
-----------------------
1. Fixed a display bug in backup and restore routines when operating with partitions that have no filename defined in the PIT.
2. Removed Hex data dialog box that popped up when reading MEID. This was for my internal use during testing and should have been removed for release.
3. Fixed a bug that prevented partitions with filenames not defined in the PIT being extracted correctly from backup archives.
4. Updated copyright notices to include current year.
EFS Pro v2.0.104
-----------------------
1. Changed the backup and restore process to handle all partitions that do not have a flash filename defined in the PIT file.
2. Fixed Qualcomm NV Tools that was broken in last release which threw an error when trying to connect.
3. Fixed some bugs in the error handling code that prevented the application from terminating correctly when needed.
4. Modified some of the Qualcomm based device filters to add 'fsg' and 'backup' partitions.
5. Added Galaxy Note 3 Qualcomm variant device filter.
EFS Pro v2.0.103
-----------------------
1. Removed the Reboot NV Backup and Reboot NV Restore features from the Qualcomm tab as this no longer works on newer devices and actually breaks them.
2. Added backup and restore support for 'fsg' and 'backup' partitions on Qualcomm devices. Although file names are not defined in the PIT for these partitions, EFS Pro will add '.bin' extension.
3. Removed limit from Device Filter Editor to add ALL partitions found within a PIT file.
4. Fixed some bugs in Qualcomm NV Tools.
EFS Pro v2.0.91
-----------------------
1. Fixed an issue with AOSP and other custom ROM's that prevented the device from connecting and EFS Professional starting correctly.
2. Fixed error checking when the application needs to terminate due to an unforeseen error to avoid null object references.
EFS Pro v2.0.80
-----------------------
1. Changed: Made a few changes to the startup process to make trouble shooting easier.
2. Fixed a few known bugs and null references.
EFS Pro v2.0.72
-----------------------
1. Added: Notice to users on private/personal use.
2. Fixed a few minor bugs.
EFS Pro v2.0.70
-----------------------
1. Improved: Application startup time has been optimized and the startup process is now easier to read.
2. Changed: All partitions are now selected by default when performing a backup or restore operation.
3. Improved: IMEI repair process in Qualcomm NV Tools. Now you can read from or write to any of the supported formats in any order.

2. Made a few internal minor improvements to the Device Filter Editor.
3. Added a workaround for Galaxy S4 Snapdragon variants on the Qualcomm NV Tools > NV Backup/Restore tab which skips the reading of NV item: 10013 to allow a full NV backup to succeed.
4. Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
EFS Pro v2.0.62
-----------------------
1. Fixed a bug where the extracted pit file size was not corrected when selecting a backup to restore.
2. Added a check during backup and restore operations to see if the PIT file already exists locally. Extraction from device will be skipped which means users having issues can place their own PIT file in the EFS Pro directory but it must follow the naming convention of: 'Model'.pit. For example a 'GT-I9305' would be called 'GT-I9305.pit'.
3. Added a Device Filter Editor UI so users can edit or create Device Filters. Files are in a new binary format so the old '.filter' extension device filters are now redundant.
4. Changed the Device Filter Refresh button to a Manage button which provides options to create, edit, delete or refresh device filters.
5. Removed the 'Qualcomm USB Settings' button on the Qualcomm tab and added a dropdown list with more options for launching service menus. Also added options to Enable and Disable the HiddenMenu on newer devices.
6. Added a default to EFS partition action when internal functions try to query the device partitions and fail.
EFS Pro v2.0.46
-----------------------
1. Fixed a bug in the Backup code block that caused the UI to freeze briefly when selecting a Device Partition Filter.
2. Fixed the file naming convention when creating backups to include a leading zero where necessary on the date and time text formatting.
3. Fixed a bug where sending wrong SPC to the device manually from the UI in Qualcomm NV Tools failed to display the ten second wait dialog.
4. Fixed an issue where extracted PIT file during backup and restore contained un-needed data at the end of the file. The file is now parsed and rewritten internally leaving a clean PIT of the correct file size rather than the fixed length of 5KB.
EFS Pro v2.0.40
-----------------------
1. Fixed a bug in the backup and restore routine that caused failure to populate the partition list due to the PIT file and device partition names not matching as they were case sensitive. Both are now converted to lower case for positive matching. This may have caused issues for other devices in previous releases.
2. Added a check to the WaitForDevice Dialog to allow for Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean's USB Debugging security feature.
3. Changed the PIT file extraction routine to extract 5KB for a PIT file to allow for devices with over 20 partition entries. This allows the Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) variant to be fully supported now and may also fix broken support for other devices in previous releases.
EFS Pro v2.0.35
-----------------------
1. Fixed a bug in the BuildPropertyParser that caused EFS Pro to crash on start up when a Galaxy S4 is connected.
2. Added device partition filter for Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) Snapdragon variant for backup and restore operations.
3. Added a check and prompt on EFS Pro start up to allow time for users running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean to accept PC to device authorisation popup.
EFS Pro v2.0.33
-----------------------
1. Fixed a severe bug in Qualcomm NV Tools that prevented the IMEI being read from and written to QCN files.
2. Added 'Send SPC' option on device connection in Qualcomm NV Tools and 'Read Phone' option when checked will now read all fields in the Diagnostics tab.
3. Fixed other minor bugs in Qualcomm NV Tools.
4. Improved error detection in EFS Pro when checking a device on start up. You must ensure you have allowed your PC to communicate with your device when running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
5. Fixed Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) support and made some minor code improvements.
6. Fixed a few other bugs and improved overall application stability.
EFS Pro v2.0.26
-----------------------
1. Added a Launcher UI on startup so you can select between EFS Pro and Qualcomm NV Tools. This was implemented for US users who wish to use Qualcomm repair functions but were unable to access it due to EFS Pro crashing on startup.
2. Fixed a few other minor bugs.
EFS Pro v2.0.23
-----------------------
1. Fixed a critical issue which caused EFS Pro to crash on startup when a device was not connected and an emulator was present.
2. Added a filter to the ADB framework code to prevent any emulators from being added to the list of connected devices which avoids some major issues and null reference exceptions.
3. Added a check on startup to prompt and automatically terminate any existing adb processes running on the clients PC to improve application stability.
4. Rolled back source code to .NET Framework v4.0 from v4.5 due to incompatibility with Windows XP.
5. EFS Pro now once again supports 32bit and 64bit OS platforms.
EFS Pro v2.0.20
-----------------------
1. Fixed an issue where Perm Root failed to detect correctly with Rooted Kernels.
2. Fixed an issue where having Corsair Link Dashboard software installed caused a conflict with ADB causing EFS Pro to fail on startup.
3. Updated application source to .NET Framework 4.5 and recompiled in Visual Studio 2012 as a 32-bit application.
4. Fixed a few other minor bugs.
EFS Pro v2.0.17
-----------------------
1. Fixed an issue with the BuildPropertyParser where setting a property failed because of a bug with its root detection.
2. Fixed the manual USB switching feature on the Qualcomm tab caused by the BuildPropertyParser issue above.
3. Fixed the automatic USB switching feature on the Qualcomm tab failing to trigger when launching Qualcomm NV Tools.
4. Fixed an issue in the device partition filter parser that caused the partition list to populate with the missing BusyBox applet error.
5. Changed the startup sequence of EFS Professional. The application now loads instantly and initializes the ADB server and checks the device.
6. Removed toast notification popups.
EFS Pro v2.0.15
-----------------------
1. Fixed an issue that was introduced in the previous version that would exit the application if NO Root permissions were detected. Now only the Qualcomm tab will be available if the connected device does not have Root permissions.
2. Fixed a long standing bug in the ADB Framework's BuildPropertyParser that caused the device to be queried each time a build property was read. As a direct result, functions that involve reading build properties such as the Device Info function are now much quicker!
3. Changed the method of command execution of the NV Backup and NV Restore functions for US Device variants. Direct ADB command line options are now used instead of running the required commands through an ADB Shell. This was done to eliminate the Root permissions requirement that was needed for ADB Shell.
EFS Pro v2.0.14
-----------------------
1. Re-enabled Qualcomm device detection again. If the 'nv_data.bin' file is not present in the efs directory then its usually safe to assume its a Qualcomm device.
2. Added a Debug tab to help troubleshoot problems and crashes etc. To enable it, create a file with the text: 'enable_debug_mode' (without quotes) and save as 'efspro.cfg' in the same directory as the application executable then restart EFS Professional if you already have it running.
3. Changed the way Root permissions are detected. Root permissions are now only checked once when EFS Professional starts rather than when using each function.
4. Updated ADB to latest from Platform Tools R16.
5. A couple more bug fixes have been added.
EFS Pro v2.0.12
-----------------------
1. Removed auto detection of Qualcomm device due to unreliability. The Qualcomm tab is now permanently enabled.
2. Fixed some issues regarding error checking and multithreading.
EFS Pro v2.0.9
-----------------------
1. Total application re-write to implement a more efficient and accurate way of backup and restore operations.
2. Backup and restore partition images to and from compressed archives (*.tar.gz format)
3. Device filter support to allow displaying important partitions for various devices.
4. Extract and read device's PIT file to ensure efficient and accurate backup and restore operations.
5. Qualcomm device support allowing many new features. See below:
- Backup and restore of the FULL NV Item range (Dec: 0-65535 / Hex: 0-FFFF) on Qualcomm devices.
- Generate IMEI in reversed HEX format for Qualcomm repair operations.
- Read and write IMEI to and from Qualcomm devices and QPST 'QCN Backup' files.
- Read / write / send SPC (Service Programming Code) on Qualcomm devices.
- Read / write Lock Code on Qualcomm devices.
- Read ESN and MEID on Qualcomm devices.
6. Automatic detection and switching of USB settings when launching Qualcomm NV Tools.
7. NV Backup and NV Restore NV to utilise Samsungs built in 'reboot nvbackup' and 'reboot nvrestore' functions. (Intended for US device variants only).
8. Added multithreading to the 'Wait For Device' dialog to prevent random lock ups.
9. Various UI improvements and changes including brand new layout design.
10. Added a welcome page which also incorporates a usage disclaimer.
11. Added automatic Qualcomm device detection to disable or enable functions to avoid confusion.
12. Added a 'Cancel' option to the 'Terminate ADB also?' dialog plus added clean up on exit.
13. Added a 'Donate!' button to the Main UI for all the generous people out there!
Please note that backups made with older versions are not compatible with the new EFS Professional v2.0 update due to the new backup format used.2677Sorry not been very active in the forums lately. I am now the very proud dad of a beautiful daughter born on 17th April and weighing a healthy 6lb 9oz!
