Prerequisite: SAMSUNG device + ROOT permission.

Make sure you own a SAMSUNG device and your device has been ROOTED before purchase.

** NOTE 1 **: This app may not work on some custom ROMs.

** NOTE 2 **: If you are using Android 4.4 (KitKat) and you cannot backup to the External SD card, you can use SDFix app to fix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix

** NOTE 3 **: This app requires an Internet connection for Google Play license checking. If you lost the IMEI, your mobile data connection may not function. In that case, you have to connect to the Internet via WiFi for this app to work.

DESCRIPTION:
This app will make a full backup for the EFS partition and all other IMEI-related partitions, e.g. MODEMST, MODEMST1, MODEMST2, M9KEFS, M9KEFS1, M9KEFS2, M9KEFS3... (these partitions will vary from device to device)

It will perform cross-checks to make sure a good backup was made and ensure the backup is suitable for your device before restoring.

DURING BACKING UP PROCESS:
- Auto detect which partitions to back up
- Check if all needed partitions have been backed up
- Check if all partitions are backed up correctly by comparing the file size to the partition size
- Generate and save MD5 checksum for backup files
- Save all the system properties for restoring purpose, e.g. phone model, product name, OS version, partition structure, partition size...

DURING RESTORING PROCESS:
- Compare saved properties with the current system properties: phone model, product name, OS version...
- Compare partition structure and partition size to ensure that the backup is suitable for your device
- Compare the MD5 checksum for the backup files

The good item will be marked with [✔] and the bad/mismatched item will be marked with [✘].
