Ok, but when i click on "Backup EFS to /sdcard/efs.img" it will prompt "Backup done, verify? and etc and then Switch to EFS-Backup-Check?" when click yes then run the check got the error again. Do i need to move both of the file first then back up again then run the test.

Go report this in ktools thread with your rom and kernel version. I am sure hellcat will fix it as he is adding more support for other SGS2 models. QUOTE(Fallenangelz @ Jan 15 2012, 11:17 PM) his siggy shows siyah kernel with checkrom @@ What do you guys suggest?

Method one Download Terminal Emulator (make sure you are rooted) and type these: su mkdir /sdcard/efs busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/efs/efs_dev-block-mmcblk0p1.img This will auto backup for you. To restore: su umount /efs mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz -C / 2. Method two Reboot and try to install ktool and backup from there. 3. Method three EPS auto backup via PC app link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546 There you go. Choose whichever that work best for you Thanks, will try this method. By the way, the terminal emulator that you are mentioning about, is this one [https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ..]? QUOTE(antt00 @ Jan 15 2012, 11:41 PM) If i remember correctly nicregi format his internal sd then can detect. Dunno same case or not. When i read back, i did not see the screen shots that have same as mine but i believe the same thing. QUOTE(nicregi @ Jan 15 2012, 11:45 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Since you are saying it, let me re-write what I did: Requirement: 1. You MUST have EFS backup on your phone 2. Copy ALL EFS backup to your laptop or computer 3. Wipe all data, format USB everything. Factory reset. 4. Move back all the EFS files back to your phone. 5. Run the script via Terminal Emulator: su umount /efs mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs busybox tar zxvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz -C / Of course, this is the LAST and long way I would say but it worked for me after like 12-15 hours wondering what is wrong. I had all the EFS but ktool ain't able to detect Hope this helps. But then i have one queries, the file of the efs. I have several file; 1. EFS_Backup folder then in there have efs_23Oct2011-1437.tar.gz 2. efsbackup.tar.gz 3. efsdev-mmcblk0p1.img.gz 4. efsdev-mmcblk0p1.img 5. efs.autobackup.img I believe that i am missing something on this.
