Hi,
Me too lost my IMEI and stuff back in July. It took me 1~2d figuring out the solution but i finally recovered it, and so do many other members on xda. But the problem is i don't remember exact name of software which fixed it. (I was too overjoyed to have it back so i didn't noticed).
Here are some of the software i used-
IMEI &SN Writer V1.5.3
MauiMETA(IMEI)
SN_Write_Tool [MOST PROBABLY THIS WAS IT]
SP_META_V1.1720.00
IMEI by kustom Hackers
-----Message me if you cant find any particular software, I will upload it on my Gdrive for you.---
NOTE If nothing helped then you can go to this page-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k4-note/help/lost-imei-t3594918
Here i member fame can provide you nvram which can flashed to fix it. BUT BE CAREFUL, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR IMEI WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN SOME COUNTRIES! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN WILL. I too contacted him and he gave me nvram (which i lost of course) but i never used it. Kept it as a last option if i would've failed in case.

On a lighter note --
Steal someone's efs backup, flash it, generate/get a valid IMEI from one of those sources who were doing good business during the "Chinese Phone" fiasco in India and force feed that IMEI

should i use the efs which is of only g3 one's or can i use any android one's???
Srinivas buddy - i would like you to note that i am no techno whiz and therefore my comments on this problem may also be taken with a pinch of salt. If i had to hazard a guess, i would surely try a efs backup from G3 rather than any other phone. The problem which will arise after you have flashed the efs & its succesfully working, is that there will be potential conflict of the IMEI in case both phones are active. Therefore, it is imperative to change the IMEI at once - and people do say that getting a valid IMEI is possible
To repeat myself - i am in no way responsible for any damage which may result from the above and hope that the DEVs have a better solution than my wild-ass theory

ok...but im a little bit confused...can u clearly explain me...sorry for that
What i mean is that when you "borrow" the efs backup from another phone and flash it to yours - then both the phones will have same IMEI since both carry the same efs information. This may cause problems when both the phones are active on the cellular network and i believe it may also be illegal. Therefore, it is important that you should get a new IMEI number as soon as possible.
Please remember that this is all guesswork and not recommended. However, if you dont care about possibly bricking your phone then atleast choose a efs backup from a phone which is exactly the same model as yours & running the same build / firmware + consult the DEVs before this

ok i got it...but how can change my IMEI ??is there any software for that??
i don't know wheather it will work or not, but just try this,
copy and paste efs folder of some other galaxy 3 to system folder using root explorer and edit .imei file with text editor and type your imei which will be there in bill or it will be on box and save it.

Check the above link and get yourself a valid/genuine IMEI number instead of getting into trouble!
if everything else fails, flash the official eclair and update it to froyo via kies. then take it to a samsung centre and say you lost your imei during official update through kies. they ought to fix it

I think its pretty much worth a try, to be completely on the safe side u could just flash a firmware with bootloader, when Odin is at bootloader flashing pull the USB cable and the battery, your phone will be a brick then. Just go to service center and tell them that it didn't turn on after a firmware update with kiss.

custom roms cannot generate your IMEI ..
What caused you to lose it? Any kernel you flashed?

Why does this happen?? I mean does the /efs partition get unmounted?? Or something else??
If it gets only unmounted, can t we mount it back using terminal or something??
Or is ODIN the only way by which we can remount it??

Press them that it is not your fault. It happened due to your official upgrade. New IMEI does not costs more than 50 rs. Ask them there names and tell them that u will go to consumer forum against them as they are trying to cheat u. Write few mails to samsung support telling your fabricated story and response of service center. Threaten them about court case if they refuse to help.
please help,i have a phone now that doesn't show imei at all and, doesn't recognize sim card...what did i do wrong???how to fix it?
Search in the xda g3 section, there was somewhere a thread about this.
i searched for two days....nothing...
There is an efs.7z attached file in imei backup thread. It mày help you
yeah found that to,copyed with odin,still nothing...
I Had also lost my EMEI.
Just went to the samsung center and behaved as if i knew nothing.
Just told that the phone is not catching the network.
They themselfs identified that the IMEI was lost and they will have to re-write the IMEI (which is written at the back of the cell).. they kept the cell for a day and fixed it with the same old IMEI.
Since the mobile was still in warranty i paid nothing.
i took it also to a repair center,but mine is not under warranty...i will have to pay 30-50 euros now......

@Srinivas - Just to make u feel better...don't take it as a serious matter though i don't know if it's rectifiable but why do u need an IMEI for..
I mean seriously it won't even come in use even if u lost ur phone(It's India)..sadly it's true !!!
As far as selling it in the future is concerned...i guess no vendor will hav any problem here (might suffer by 100-200 bucks) but thats it !!

Lesson 1:- Back up imei b4 playing with phones
Hey i have a 910f after an update i lost my imei can i recover or put other? I didn't have a backup of it
Thank you
From what I gather if you have no backup it's either very hard or impossible to fix it, you should always make backups of everything tho.
Was it a Samsung update or have you rooted/custom rom.?
I could be wrong on this (let's hope so)
no you can't , you need to read certificate from other Note 4 to upload it to you phone and i as know there is no software can do that , only Z3x or octoplus
Was a custom rom the fact is i have 2 n910f white and black to the white one i did a backup of efs but forgot on black one and now is like a tablet no GSM
Here is what it says
Have you tried kies emergency firmware restore?
I have a Z3X box and I can do it remotely.

Before giving an answer we're going to need a little more information. What steps did he do prior to losing his IMEI, did he flash a custom rom, custom radio, or did it just magically vanish?
