1- How did you upgrade to KitKat? Updating the stock firmware typically not mess up your IMEI.
2- Did you make any IMEI Backup? If so, just restore it.
3- If you don't have an IMEI Backup, reflashing the stock firmware may help to restore the IMEI.
To download the stock firmware for your device, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' > select the firmware to download. You can flash it by using Odin or Kies.

Null / null imei, unknow baseband

Hi, my phone is i9505, i have null imei and unknow baseband. I
was on 5.0.1 when i buyed, my misstake i dont verify the imei if is broke or not. Imei was /01
After that i flashed 4.4.2 ([email protected] with Modem_GNK2_FULL.tar and Bootloader_GNK2.tar) in hope imei will restore but neeh...., i dont have efs folder. Now imei show me null / null.
I have any chance to get imei back to use cellular network? If YES, are you kindly to give me step by step guide with download links?
Thank you all, i`m disperated

Hi,
You might search for a modem that from your region code. If you don't know your region code, unfortunately you should go to Samsung Service Center as you didn't have any EFS backup.

Flash modem from the region where the phone was bought. Since I couldn't find the package that only contains modem, you should download a full firmware. Grab it one from SamMobile or Samsung Updates.

It really has nothing to do with a modem with your region code.
You can use any modem it really doesn't matter.
Try flashing a stock lollipop firmware.

Well, let me explain more.
1- This phone was with stock I9505XXUHOB7 5.0.1 and IMEI was / 01, after that i flash [email protected] 4.4.2
1.1- I dont know if i can come back from stock 5.0.1 to stock 4.4.2, can you tell me if i can? I was afraid and i tryed with that repack rom.
After that IMEI was null/null with unknow baseband.
2- so i flash again that stock 5.0.1 and i have IMEI null/null with a working baseband.
Advices?

Unfortunately, you both should bring your phone to Samsung Service Center for IMEI restoration.

Here is a guide for downgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9505-downgrade-5-0-lollipop-to-4-4-2-t3052472
If you still can't get it back, then a guy claimed this method worked for him.

If it's still not fixed then service centre.

!! Sm-n900k !! Imei null / baseband unknow / sw rev check failed fused 4 > binary 3

!! Sm-n900k !! Imei null / baseband unknow / sw rev check failed fused 4 > binary 3
Hi Guys!
I have a SM-N900K (KT version - South Korea) Galaxy Note 3. I upgraded it to Lollipop 5.0.1 and now IMEI is NULL. I can not fix it. I don't have any EFS backup.
I tried to downgrade by flashing stock 4.4.2 rom : N900KKKUENF2_N900KKTTENF2_N900KKKUENF1_HOME.tar.md5 but got error: SW Rev Check Failed Fused 4 > Binary 3.
I flashed with Stock 5.0 Rom: ALL_KTT_N900KKKU0GOC4_N900KKTT0GOC4_CL4362511_QB4250245_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 and another Rom: GALAXY_NOTE3_N900K_SPACEX_LOLLIPOP_MANHIT.tar.md5 but still same IMEI Problem!!!
There are not much Custom Rom for SM-N900K. So I tried to flash Sm-N9005 Custom Roms but there are always "Could not do normal boot!" problem.
I live in TURKEY! So I can't send the phone to South Korea. I gave my phone to a phone repairman. He couldn't fix it, even if he used up-to-date box.
I also looked for how to unlock bootloader. But there is none as I saw.
Please help me guys. I couldn't downgrade to 4.4.2 KitKat and still have IMEI null problem.
Thanks in advance...

Why did you flash other variants roms? Because if you flashed right rom it would not brick it and lose imei.
Have you tried efs recovery method somewhere here at q&a forum?

I have same issues, but cannot find the way to fix it. Did you fixed it, can you share ?
Thanks

I had this problem 3 or 4 years ago. I found the solution that time. The solution to this problem is kernel if I remember correctly. You have to find a suitable kernel. When you find a suitable kernel for sm-n900k you can use many custom rooms.
Another thing is;
You have to install a custom rom then before starting the phone, flash suitable kernel and the you are good to go.
I hope this information helps you.

You will have to bring it to a Samsung Repair Center! EFS is where everyone's IMEI is saved... not to pass along...
go to a Samsung Repair Center and get a new motherboard! Its the only way.
Next time you get your Note 3 fixed make sure you do a EFS backup before doing rom flashing or anything on it... That way you will have a backup in case you need it!

Had the same problem with a Galaxy Note 1. It's a hardware fault, you need to take it to service, no software flashing is going to fix it.
