After i upgraded a friends I9500 to Official Lolipop , he complained about crashing apps, and other sutff like that , and he ask me to revert lolilpop to stock version . I do the downgrade with odin , i flashed a south african rom, which is allowed for downgrading , ( 4.2.2 i guess ) , everithing worked fine until the phone booted and see there`s null imei , baseband version , etc. After doing some researches, trying to flash other stock rom ( like 4.3 or 4.4 with no succes ) , flashing modem a few times , trying the method with efs backup ( even if i haven`t make any backup before downgrading ) , I get a fake imei and that`s all and still cant use the phone to make calls.
My Q is , how can i revert the original imei for I9500 ?? Need urgent help !
Thanks for your support.
Reflash lollipop modem/firmware and you get imei back.
Then you can use this if you want downgrade

Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 IMEI / Baseband NULL / NULL
Hello every body, and thank you at advance for multiple sharing , and help solving android problems.
Am facing the same problem of NULL imei and base band as well, i endured this issu after a month of experiencing a new official update from kitkat 4.4.4 to lollipop 5.0.1 it worked fine at first but with use i had heat issu, and loss of network 2G intermittently ..
i tried to root the device, but it gave no solution, the re-install of lollipop non-official leads me to the loss of IMEI numbre.
i triyed to downgrade to kitkat, i didnot found the 4.4.4 version in samsung stock, i've downloaded 4.4.2 , reinstall, the lollipop is still persisting.
back to hard samsung wipe data , also gave nothing.
please advise.
thank you
PS : i have no ESF backup

lollipop 5.01 and the custom rom was based on kit kat 4.2 (aroma ozcan rom 6.3) everthing went fine till the final boot and there was no
imei and i was not able to make any calls , i searched every where i could , i tried to restore my nanadroid backup , efs partition everthing went wrong . I tried one or two method from some website but that too was not hope full finally with GODS GRACE I stumbled upon this thread and id worked
i followed a youtube tutorial for the basic of modem flashing just follow his video for the odin version and he advise to flash the modem twice i did exactly that and it went fine and now i am albe to recive and make calls

unzip it to desk top
run odin as administrator
un checked "reboot"
turn the phone into download mode and connected to the pc
selected "phone" in Odinn and navigated to the bin file
hit start

You need to descripe what you did. There are many ways that can result in imei null.

If it was working before you dropped it, then you have hardware damage and the above method will not fix it. Bring it to a service center.

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.

Because a NAND backup restore will not touch the bootloader. Only kernel if that was backed up
