I have flashed darky's no wipe and was using Axura before
Axura never changed my product code or IMEI
However darky's has changed my product code but not the IMEI

I have a proper backup created with SGS Toolbox but how do I restore it? I have root explorer so should I use that to overwrite the folder with the backup?

I only have my phone at the moment so restoring the backup from SD with the phone is what I'm looking for.

Thanks,
Brian

Just replace the nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 back to your /efs folder. leave the .bak files alone if they are dated from august. those are the originals, these can be used to restore your .bin and .bin.md5 files.
if you have root explorer I would honestly copy that whole EFS folder to your SD card and maybe to a backup on the computer.

Ok.. So ive tried replacing the files with my backup and the product code stays the same... However when i tun a product check it says the backup has the correct product code... So i go to my earliest product code check folder and rename the files and paste them into the efs folder then reboot... Am i doing something wrong? I have the correct imei and things are working so should i just get a computer handy and follow the steps to restore everything?
