[guide][i9305][backup and restore imei][other partitions]

Hi all, today I'm gonna share very important information about backing up your IMEI number. IMEI is not stored in only /efs partition all the ways. so only by just restoring /efs backup you can never get imei back. It is my personal experience that i lost my imei while installing custom roms and i restored /efs and my imei didn't came back thanks God fortunately, I was having the backup of other three partition listed bellow and i restored them and i got my imei back. So having just /efs partition backup doesn't really mean your imei is safe. IMEI is stored in other partitions all of them including /efs and /radio are listed bellow.
1-M9KEFS1 (mmcblk0p4)
2-M9KEFS2 (mmcblk0p5)
3-M9KEFS3 (mmcblk0p6)
4-efs (mmcblk0p3)
5-radio (mmcblk0p10)
you can backup and restore these partition by using this app by @wanam on playstore or here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rtitions&hl=en

Definitely you will need root and busybox for running this app. Launch and select the partitions listed above and tap backup button and you 're done.!!

For restoring go menu and select "restore a partiton" select the img in /sdcard/partitionBackup folder and carefully restore imgs to their co-responding partitons, restoring wrong partitions can seriously mess up your device.

that's it. buy me a coffee if I have saved your precious piece of hardware :good::good:
