Root [Virgin Mobile] [HOWTO]Comprehensive IMEI/EFS Backup

Its in the Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development but I can confirm it worked for me.

I did Part A

su
reboot nvbackup

3. Your phone will reboot and copy the contents of two IMEI partitions to the two built-in backup blocks. You may see tiny blue text on the bootloader screen indicating that it is copying.
4. Allow it to finish and then reboot back into Android. The "fsg" and "backup" block devices now contain your IMEI information as they should have in the first place

Rebooted, backed up my IMEI and booted back. Im on Stock MG2 / Rooted with CWM Recovery.

I highly suggest everyone do this if they plan to flash ROMs. Requires root.

From the link:

Do not do this unless your IMEI has been lost!

Lets hope none of us every has to use this
