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.

You have an N900 though, so you'd need an N900 modem, preferebly the latest one for your model.
There are a few listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475714 but you need to find out which one to get (XXU, UBU, DXU etc)

Take a 4.4.2 package unpack it and remove bootloaders, then repack and test.
You can opposedly to SGY firmwares (s5360) open S4 firmwares with Winrar / 7-Zip.

User who say that are user who don't even care about their country code nor their CSC
If your CSC is XEF then you have to flash a non-knox 4.4.2 XEF ROM, if wifi/IMEI is null it's most likely a MODEM mismatch.
Just reflash the modem by using Odin3's CP section :good:
EDIT :
Or you may just try Mobile Odin Pro, for a buck it downgrades the phone a simple way.

I first rooted and installed SUPERSU on my device with lollipop 5.0.1 to get x mode games. Since xmodgames doesn't support lollipop currently I decided to downgrade my Samsung GT-I9500 from lollipop 5.0.1 to Kit Kat via ODIN after doing a complete wipe via philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar but after the install My mobile had null imei. I was able to successfully root the device and install SUPERSU and Xmodgames also worked fine but without any mobile network due to NULL Imei.
I tried all forums some had software to remove the null state and some had service code etc, but nothing worked and a techie told me that this can now be restored only through some box available only with professionals and asked me a very high fee almost 30% cost of the device.
I finally figured it out and restored my phone back to lollipop 5.0.1 after doing a wipe by PHILZ (without root selected) and my phone was back to its original state.
Hope this helps.

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.

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
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.
