how can do
i9500
baseband unknown
imei null/null
please help me
Unfortunately in this situation there's not a lot you can do without an EFS backup. A service centre can fix it.

What did you do to it ? Beware the a service might refuse to fix it if you have a custom rom into it...
Hi, I just got the phone with IMEI null. I don't know the reason how it became "NULL". I read lot of posts and everybody says that problem with EFS partition. Will this work if i flash with somebody else EFS partition on my phone?
Its illegal to use someone else imei, try using kies

I recently bought an Samsung Galaxy 4 and the imei is locked. I need an program in which i can unblock or change the imei number so i can use it.

You're not going to find it here. Changing your imei isn't legal.

If you tried different modems and you can't get back your imei then it got damaged you must restore a backup but if you don't have there must be a way to change it with a hex editor.(Its just a guess)

You have to reinstall Official lollipop
If you flash and custom rom that make EFS Backup automatically, for example Ozcan ROM, you have to search a folder with this name "efs_Backup" in your "internal memory"
If you have this folder and backup
Make this instruction for downgrade to Kitkat: Here
But if i go to lollipop also still my imei and Baseband will be unknown !!

No it's not so. Revert back to Lollipop and your baseband, imei will be recovered.
I have already experienced this, have been jumping between Kitkat and Lollipop since a week because of the same problem, I guess Lollipop has updated the EFS which makes Kitkat unable to read it properly.
Hope this helped you!
Unknown imei = go to lollipop, null, generic etc need a efs backup, however you can go to a mobile shop with a octopus box or something like that.
