If everything else fails and you are left with zero alternatives - there are a few threads that describe how you can recover a N9005 with IMEI 0 and you might be able to adapt that to N900L.

Have a look HERE but make sure you read it all and understand before you do so, as it can hard brick if you mess it up.

Considering you are on the most difficult Korean model, none of the instructions or files on xda can help you -- different bootloader and radio from everyone else.
You better flash the original firmware. If that doesn't work, you probably need to send the phone to the service center for board change.

I hope something works for you. I have the same problem. I'm now trying to analyze my efs partition. There is nothing worse than having a phone without the "phone"

He does not have the EFS backup, so that's a no go .

Before messing around with the Efs Partition, I would suggest to flash the actual F4 BTU FW. I faced this Problem myself when I tried to downgrade from E3 (Singapore) to NB7 (Germany). We actually can't downgrade the Baseband after flashing an actual Firmware. It will cause exactly this Problem. So flash the latest FW you where on or an newer one and see, if it solves the Problem. At least for me it worked, after Efs restore failed.

Try flashing it again, it is possible something went wrong.

No to be honest i tried it from xda forum but it didn't worked or i didn't knew how :/ how
i installed a big huge program forgot it's name on my pc but didn't know how to :/

See if the ROM backed up your efs folder. You need to restore it. Check your default efs folder. Is it blank?

Yes when i tried and installed an app which is done after root like root explorer i tried to back it up but it was unable to get into the efs folder gave me a msg which told me u must purchase it i couldn't back up it anyways dammit

LiL_Assassin said:
Use a thing called ktool. Back up your efs. Transfer both of your back ups. And name them different things so you can tell the difference of your current back up and the one the ROM backed up. And use it to restore the one your ROM backed up then

Hi there,
Please wait until mods move your thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Thanks

Hello,
Once your bootloader is updated you can't downgrade it. A major-version baseband requires the updated bootloader.
Look here.

I read that after u flash back stock kitkat u have to flash the lollipop modem as well but in AP.and u`ll be good
