Have you tried restoring back to stock through ODIN? Download your stock firmware from the sammobile website, and follow a guide on how to restore your phone with ODIN.
Note that this will reset your device and you will lose all your data.
If that doesnt work then im not sure what you can do i'm sorry

If you don`t have the EFS folder backup up you need to turn it in for repair because there is nothing else to do about it. The motherboard will probably be replaced in order to get a new IMEI number.

hello? somebody help me? without imei null null samsung s5.. its root my phone..

There is no patch for something that is not restorable ie is gone. Have a new motherboard installed or sell the phone for parts, that`s it mate

I hope any other solution.. tnk help

You didn't provide much information for us. Not even what program you used to root or the Odin log and verbatim error messages. So it's uncertain what happened due to the lack of information.
Try writing a full, stock firmware image for your carrier with Odin and see if that restores your phone. If not, is your phone under warranty? You may wish to try making a warranty claim with your carrier. Otherwise you can look to a paid vendor for assistance. This forum does not condone IMEI manipulation and is the wrong place to pose IMEI questions. You may find a good Google search to be advantageous.

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.

Yes it works, it's some problem at your end, everybody else was fine with KSA stock, including me.

I don't say that your rom is bad, I wanted to use it but
The downloads links always give me a unusable file, it's not the rom witch is bad , it's the links, sorry but I tried many times, if you can give me a secure way to download it, I'll do with pleasure, thanks.

That was likely a bad flash that made you loose your imei, and most networks block phones without imei.
Please factory reset, flash original stock rom, factory reset again. Hopefully it will recover your imei, if not, please search XDA for alternative options.

ok, thanks, ill do it right now. i'll tell you the result, thanks again.
for sammobile, i hope you verified the link because i dont work when i tried it two days before.

I have understood a thing on your phone :
your bootloader = PB2 (P=2016; B=february; rev2) -> common version to all N9005
your PDA = OF1 (O=2015; F=june; rev1)
your CSC = OG1 (O=2015; G=august; rev1) -> must be according of your operator (exemple: for me: France SFR -> XEF, but I can too NEE (Nordic Countries) because XEF is included in NEE)
On sammobile, that you see is PDA and CSC NOT BOOTLOADER !

If you want, nothing is risked with SAMSUNG !
But that I wanted to say to you is that there is an anomaly :
your bootloader (= kernel = motor of the ROM) is newer than the PDA !!!
It means that you have downgraded the firmware...
So you should try to install latest ROM from Sammobile (the higher on the page).
Remove your battery during 20sec then flash it, then reboot in recovery, then wipe everything.
Then say me if EFS mounting error...

Help me with this firmware :SM-J530FZSDROM

So i fixed the bootloop with Odin (installing a J5 firmware of course not for my country cuz i am too dumb (facepalm) ) and i searched on my box and it says that this is my firmware SM-J530FZSDROM but i can't find it anywhere...
Who can help me get it ?
Thanks
(Btw. I have a system *only system partition* backuped in my sd card i tried restoring it but it was the boot loop again.. it has 2 gigas idk..)
Ps:forget the system backup i just want the entire firmware xd

What device do you have? J500 J510? Are you trying to go back to stock? And did you also enable OEM Unlock from developer settings? This will cause it to fail at aboot.bin if you haven't.

He has a J530 and if you read his post you would notice that he already flashed something over odin, so he has his OEM unlock ticked.

Well seeing as though he hadn't specified the device he was using I thought it would be a good suggestion to check he was flashing the correct firmware in the first place, I've got a different country for installed on my J510FN and do t have any bootloops.
BUT yes I do know that device names are inside the firmware name.

J5 2017 SM-J530F is my phone
My original firmware was SM-J530FZSDROM but i flashed with Odin the firmware SM-J530FXXU1AQF5 , i think its from Romania and yes the sim is working so that's the important thing i think.
But i still want the original firmware ...
Questions: Can i repair Knox?
With what to root safetly (to work with snapchat) ?
Thanks guys!

One more thing
And guys when i installed the TWRP with Odin , it was showing this errors : E: Error Grab/Realase and 2 numbers idk
I installed magisk partially with it because it wasn't working with Freedom (Please allow acces to system partition this was the error i got in Freedom) . After that before i got the bootloop i tryed installing magisk again from twrp and i got stucked in bootloop . Who could help me install root and twrp succesfuly ? Thanks.
The first question remains active: Who could search the firmware and give it to my i would owe him.

You can't repair knox after it was tripped.
If you want your root to work with snapchat root with magisk or superSU with xposed modules for hideing root

Can you give me a link of supersu like installing without twrp , thanks. For SM-J530F
