I have been doing some research about important backup of samsung files so I found that backup of EFS is very important because it's folder contains

Phone-specific information such as the IMEI, wireless devices MAC addresses, product code, and much more. If this thing not handled properly, can turn your device completely useless as it will no longer be recognized by your carrier.
Problem is, flashing custom ROMs sometime can corrupt contains within EFS folder. That’s why backing up EFS folder is very important if you love to flash new ROM.

So I will include that as backup option.

Also same thing with modem looking at twrp github for samsung devices so I will add that to. And my opinion maybe not wise but I think that recovery also need to be included in backup.

That's my 5 cents

Anyone to back me up or to add 5 cents more

First of all.. Thanks for your hard work on our SGC2 recovery!
I hope with this, SGC2 has it's own forum as soon as possible

Btw. I confirmed this working for samsung galaxy core 2 duos (G355H) as well
everything looks fine.. touch screen working, but I haven't touched any feature aside from reboot to system which was working
but i believe everything should be working fine
you should change the thread name as your recovery support G355H too :good:

I don't know. I rooted my phone before twrp but as I recall twrp detect that phone is not rooted and it should install su binary and apk after confirmation and restart.

 

[giew13]

Btw is it possible to add aroma file manager or something else in TWRP as permanently feature just like in CWM?

No. What's wrong with current file manager? It's not working?
