Hi
Could be for several resons....
Dial *#06# what you see?
Modem / bootloader incompatibility , try a different modem
failure to mount the efs folder . check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/imei-baseband-unknown-t294284
I think it will apply also to TW
Bad EFS folder , for this you need an EFS back up , if not you may have to take to a local service center and have fix the imei number , you need a Z3X box or similar
Of course could be hardware , open phone if you know how , check the antenna cable , check the sim caddy

The sim card is fine, it works well in another phone.
I did see it flash the 4.2.2 modem during Odin when I successfully flashed it from 4.4.2. So maybe the modem is the problem. Where can I try other modems?

Should be a 4.4.2 modem , you were using Omega rom? go to Omega Files free / 4.4.2 / modems and download XUGNF6 modem that is for the rom you have now

No I wasn't on Omega, I somehow managed to downgrade my 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 stock firmware and watched keenly what was going on when I noticed it flashed everything including the modem. My 4.4.2 TWRP backup only consisted of data,system and cache restore and I think that's where all the issues started. I've just seen right this very instance that it is XUGNF6 that before I saw this page update with your answer also confirming the same and it doesn't seem to be there in the listing of modems you posted. I have identified it in the stock firmware and am 23min from finishing the entire 1.6GB firmware which I started over an hour ago just incase it resorts to that. Man! this is nerve racking
The problem has been sorted but am getting alot of processandroid.media has stopped working. It is so persistent I cant use the phone but it now recognizes my simcard. What can I do to resolve this?
Update: I rebooted immediately and factory wiped/reset & cache and everything is now fine. The IMEI has been restored using the South African modem.
My goodness! All I was trying to do in the very first place was to install Prism barebones when all went haywire! I remember without a shadow of a doubt that I had not checked sd mem card in TWRP v2.8.0.1 when it cleared literally everything in the phone. For some reason my mem card that had the barebones.zip is now trashed and unusable. Had stock firmware 4.2.2 lying around and just for the sake of it I attempted to flash as I downloaded 4.4.2 as a last resort as I posted here for quicker help since this i9500 is my main communicator. Incidentally the 4.2.2 flashed successfully but trashing my IMEI in the process and my onscreen keyboard had started showing greenish artifacts as I type, reflashing it eliminated them but still my simcard was unrecognizable. Then I go through a nerve racking waiting period of like 5 hrs with my mind in limbo (couldn't even concentrate in the smallest things) just trying to download XUGNF6 modem S.A.
Now atleast I'm back on earth. One interesting thing after all this. My phone is described by all sections in it as official except the Knox warrant void : 1. I have a very strong feeling the hack is right infront of our noses we just haven't figured it out how to reset this counter to 0x0. The whole plan was to be on Prism by now but I just stepped back into stock world. Just as a precaution, I have just booted into TWRP and backed up EFS, cache and preload just incase limbo awaits me ones again in the future. Why is it such a hustle with most samsung devices?
Now before I even think of a custom rom, how I'm I going to protect my modem and other vital partitions from being flashed and ruining my android experience??????

IMEI is the machine serial number.
It may happen that due to various rom exchanges, wipes and resets, the IMEI will be lost, if this happens and there is no backup, the only solution is to send the device to assistance for repair and pay a new motherboard.
Having the backup can save some money.
Prerequisite:
Root
Stock Rom
In sdcard create a directory named IMEI
In the ADB mode with root:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/storage/sdcard1/IMEI/pds.img
Keep pds.img file in a secure place.
to restore
In the ADB mode with root:
dd if=/storage/sdcard1/IMEI/pds.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds
reboot.

Firstly , this thread doesn't belong here. Its in the wrong sub section of the forum.
Secondly, flash back a lollipop modem and you will get back your imei. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56103578&postcount=3
This issue has already been brought up a million times, so next time atleast spend some time researching and reading through the forum or at least use google. Thanks.

I think for starters , you should stick to kitkat. Now to get back your imei, flash this file via odin : https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...odems And Bootloaders/I9500-XXUHOD4-MODEM.tar (since you're on stock, i assume you no longer have custom recovery)
Resolve this issue first.

I'm currently on 5.0 rooted n9005 note3. Trying to fix this problem since yesterday and no luck, I think I can't restore efs. Anyone can help me?
All those can be solved by restoring EFS. You didn't make an backup?
Why do you think you can't solve it?

I think you can restore efs when you are rooted. And another way to fix that is change the original IMEI from original to another IMEI.
