Automatic Backup Restore IMEI TOOL by Sector1369 is HERE .
(Only Require Custom recovery)
Automatic backup restore CMD script added by "deadlyindian" at Post#5
(Require PC ,ADB drivers & Root permissions )


If you still want to do this manually, look below
IMEI backup of redmi 1s
Require ROOT permissions

We all known that EFS partition holds the imei,sn ,wifi mac & other important data.
In Snapdragon the EFS partition are modemst1 ,modemst2 & FSG partitions. so it's important to take backup of these partitions.
1.connect your phone to PC , adb debugging enabled & goto adb shell by,
Code: 
adb shell su
OR
Open terminal emulator app in your phone & take super user permissions, by
Code: 
su

2.type following commands to backup imei partitions.
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16_modemst1
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p17_modemst2
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20_fsg
also these are some important partition you should consider to backup.
modem, fsc, bk1, ddr.
Code: 
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p23_modem
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p9_DDR
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p12_bk1
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p18_fsc

Now the backup is stored in you internal storage ,store these files in safe place.
in case u get invalid imei or unknown, restore these partitions.
To restore these partitions,

Code: 
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p16_modemst1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p17_modemst2 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20_fsg of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p23_modem of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p9_DDR of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p12_bk1 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p18_fsc of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Working on Aroma EFS backup restore tool..

NOTE:-
Don't use tools or commands from other device because different devices has different partition address, that will result in wrong backups.
To use this method to backup other phones EFS , u should find your partition info.
Redmi 1s Partition tables can be found HERE

ENJOY,

None of the usual ROM / kernel flashing result in loss of these partitions .
If someone is able to screw up partitions, chances are that he will remove the partition table too ..
and with that he will not be able to fastboot anymore , to use backups made here.

Don't get me wrong, but its of little use imo.

I mean backing up DRM keys and TA partitions made sense since they are wiped in some bootloader unlocking..

You almost make it sound like, I can restore someone else's IMEI too :silly: ..

I still have my old nokia phones with me of which I can rob their identities ?
Some random Redmi dev can give surprise to actually make an app for this..
Chinese phones have already been a pain in a$$ for Indian Govt due to lack / duplicate of this IMEI modules.

I'm pretty sure u have been using a Sony phone and have limited knowledge so don't jump and compare the phones with the same thing.

As for the imei take help of google and search for z3x/cyclone/nspro/magma what are they used for:silly:

@deadlyindian,
Thanks for providing the automated script to back up imie.
I did go through your post and did as per the instructions mentioned step by step. However, I am unable to proceed after getting the message "Please connect usb cable now" after running R1SBAR. I do have root access(checked from root checker app) and have also enabled USB Debugging. I also inserted cable after getting the message.

Does it take a lot of time(more than 5 mins) to backup imei cause I continued till 5 mins before closing the cmd prompt.

Hope you can help me here.
PS: I am using MIUI v45 global version "JHCCNBH45.0 （V5） " in case if you need.

Have you installed the ADB drivers for the 1S? ► ADB Drivers ◄

After installing Run R1SBAR.exe & follow the below screens

Yes, it seems adb drivers were missing after which I was able to successfully backup my IMIE. Thanks for your help.
Perhaps you could add this link in your earlier post as a pre-requisite so that newcomers won't face this issue. Just a suggestion :)
Kudos and keep rocking.
