1. IMEI, not emei
2. do you have efs backup?
3. ROM version?
without these info I can only advice you to send me your wife with her phone for some two weeks.

Hi
after 7 days of flawless use,my genuine i9505 flipped on me.
I got no imei and no baseband version and no cell network.
I'm on stock - so I couldn't backup the efs dir, (root required).
what can I do ?
thanks for any advice.

if it s still under warranty take it back to Samsung . Seems that it was not your fault so they should fix the problem for you .

You have a Efs backup?

Have you tried flashing a different modem? That usually fixes it for me. Try flashing the DDUBMF8 modem, it works great for me.

I assume you don't have a efs backup but well let's make this simple
if you do have a backup you can easily get the IMEI back to original state.
if you don't
you can follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
it has been working for many users (but i'm not sure if it works for S4) i've never had corrupt IMEI only stone dead one :laugh: (on s4)
i had the s2 with the fake IMEI but i was never able to recover it, now i can't give it a go since the last person who had it "my friend" says her friend of her has it and her friend of her says that my friend has it so it's lost case to try recovering it even though i'd like to recover it
Well i wish you all the best! you will need it samsung and their efs partitions are tricky i know they've got an tool to write the IMEI to the correct partition but not sure its released,

Did you just play around with your device and in that playing mood did not backup your efs?

i have a note 3 SM-n900w8 working with stock Telcel ROM, but a few days ago the cellphone service stop working. it says that service is not available any time i want to do a call.
i see that the imei that shows in the phone (*#06#) is not the same that in the sticker in the back. i have read many possible solutions on this forum for those with 0000 IMEI.
i want to know if its possible to rollback the IMEI in the back of the sticker to the phone so it can work again.
i appreciate the help you guys can give me.
Good day.

Did you do something that caused the IMEI to changed?
Or maybe it is due to refurbished phone?
My my app Phone INFO > Menu > Refurbishment Check to see what does it show?
IMEI 000 restore your backed up EFS folder .

Both phone is ok.......just one have imei problem.......so i want to know that is there any way to backup imei of i9505(with imei) and restore it on another i9505(with null imei)?????
What you're attempting to do (cloning the IMEI) is not legal and thus cannot be discussed here. For your device with IMEI woes, try reinstalling the ROM. Otherwise take it to Samsung and have them fix it.
yes cloning(my own s4 imei) imei or just network fix without imei.

If imei got lost without you doing anything then you have hardware failure and need to replace emmc chip.
