You're not going to find it here. Changing your imei isn't legal.

If you tried different modems and you can't get back your imei then it got damaged you must restore a backup but if you don't have there must be a way to change it with a hex editor.(Its just a guess)

Did you buy the phone brand new? -
Download ODIN and reflash your Stock ROM completely see if it fixes it.
Take it to Samsung or if you find someone with a Z3X box or SPT tool not to sure if octopus has a full working IMEI repair yet :^)

I backed it up with the EFS backup tool for the n900 but like an idiot i saved it in the internal memory of the phone.
And i did flash that rom... it was actually the last one i flashed before this happened.

Crap. i need a backup of my efs.img to fix it. it was probable that VN ROM V14 did it. the download link wasnt working for the latest one which was v14 so i digged around until i found a mirror.

Yes.
You need to always flash NE1(The file I uploaded) baseband after each rom install you do...
If you have a EFS backup prior your VN V14 FLASH you can repair this issue mentioned above.
For now you can only hope that Samsung will release more roms with the NE1 modem...

If your IMEI is same as one on BOX and message displying insert SIM card then may be it's physical issue may be damaged SIM tray OR damaged card.
Try other SIM card
Also ask your operator they have not banned your IMEI

You need to flash NE1 or NF2 modem for quick fix...
If you have made a efs backup before previous flash you can restore efs.

You have to reinstall Official lollipop
If you flash and custom rom that make EFS Backup automatically, for example Ozcan ROM, you have to search a folder with this name "efs_Backup" in your "internal memory"
If you have this folder and backup
Make this instruction for downgrade to Kitkat: Here
But if i go to lollipop also still my imei and Baseband will be unknown !!

No it's not so. Revert back to Lollipop and your baseband, imei will be recovered.
I have already experienced this, have been jumping between Kitkat and Lollipop since a week because of the same problem, I guess Lollipop has updated the EFS which makes Kitkat unable to read it properly.
Hope this helped you!
Unknown imei = go to lollipop, null, generic etc need a efs backup, however you can go to a mobile shop with a octopus box or something like that.
