People really need to stop saying that. It has happened with both recoveries. There is a thread on the issue with TRWP. There does not seem to be any correlation at all regarding which recovery you use.
Ya that has been discussed so many times out of the 500 times it has happened about 10 of them were from twrp that were reported.

Even if your 50-1 stat is correct, and I am not sure it is, you would have to know how many people with each recovery have successfully flashed without losing imei to have any meaning. Repeating an unproven theory like it is fact does not help. No offence because you are a good poster that is always helpful.
You have to account for the fact that even at this point there are probably still more people using CWM simply due to the fact that it has been around longer and a lot more people are used to it. If there is even a single person (and we already know that there is) who has lost their IMEI while using TWRP, that negates the concept that it is a CWM only issue. You also have to consider the fact that 500 reports is still not enough to establish a baseline, and also the fact that quite a few people have probably resolved the issue by searching and finding the solution without reporting it at all.
With all this in mind, it seems to me that it may be a more common problem on CWM, but we have no way of knowing whether that is because of TWRP being better or because of CWM being the more common recovery. However, we do know that the issue can happen on either recovery.

Recovery doesnt have anything to do on this. Our phone is build like that.
Best thing to do is back up ur imei .
Either recovery is true for lost IMEIs. I have used both and lost them on both.

Thanks, and I understand. I just did not want people to think one recovery was full proof when it is not and skip making a backup thinking they are solid. As suggested by others, making a backup of the IMEI is good idea.
Ok I got my imei back after a million tries, but still have no 4G data / signal. I tried all the mobile network options but no matter what I will be on edge network.
This is annoying, please help anyone thanks
Why not just Odin back a factory jelly bean image and start from scratch.
You can at least eliminate the phone as being defective if it works when you go back stock.

There's a super hackish way I discovered that works for flashing everything on the M919 but I haven't tried scripting it yet. It totally works though -- I've updated S4 to latest MDL firmware in heimdall without use of Odin at all.
I might just write up a script to guide the process as it requires human intervention at several steps and is a pain.
EDIT: Oh, it's simple. I was already on MDL. Just heimdall flash --MDM modem.bin --no-reboot, hard reboot the phone after flash, run heimdall again to flash but without --no-reboot, and voila.
4.4.2 modem switch
Just want to make sure here. I'm on CM-11-20140210-Snapshot-M3-jfltetmo (T-Mo phone with ATT service) and have the M919UVUFNB4. Im getting network drops and "no service" at home, and intermittently other places.
Rooted, unlocked, don't care about the warranty etc. It's corporate service, so this rom (after lots of testing ROMS) finally was one i can install Lync mobile 2013 and encrypt for my corp email access. Flawlessly operating so far other than that network issue.
I'm seeing that people are flashing modem.bin for the M919 on 4.4.2 but also seeing not to use it unless you are on 4.3 here. So, am curious what modem they flashed and if there was any specific addendum to the instructions they had to follow on a 4.4.2 ROM.
I did try to flash the MK2_NON-HLOS.zip but it didnt change my baseband the first time, so I figured Id rather ask a stupid or already answered q, than have to wipe, flash my ROM yet again.
So if someone could just confirm for me what modem/process they have working with the 4.4.2 I would greatly appreciate it.
Im at work tonight, so if i missed it and the info is already out there, please drop me the link so I can read while I face-palm.

I stuck with this build because it didnt have any problems encrypting which i needed for mobileiron to report device compliance etc for corp email. Without being sure that the new builds will encrypt without issue, Ill just wait a while and leave it alone so long as I am not getting drops in service at home.
Which ironically after i posted, it didnt do last night. Ill have to test again tonight and see if it does drop again or if it was a fluke. If so, ill be checking bootloader version, (not sure how to yet but research is my friend) and doing some flashing again. YAY TRIAL AND ERROR!!
thanks btw for the response.

unfortunately due to you being on official its a one way street. LOCKED bootloader, there is no downgrading. Now i believe I read on the s3 forums that if you can reflash the current official bootloader and rom you 'might' be able to boot, suck part is I dont think anybody has posted it yet.

No, I'm not trolling. Nothing to troll for. If there are issues with this downgrade on the OTA 4.3, I highly recommend following Milkman00's advise.
I think there is some confusion here.
I was on the stock 4.3 and tried using ODIN to undo the bootloader. It didn't work. Not only did it not work, but it rendered my phone unusable. It claims that there is a firmware problem and to use Kies to restore the firmware, which cannot be done currently as the latest firmware in Kies is <4.3.
DO NOT USE THAT METHOD. Long story short is that I now have a Note 3 because I broke my Note 2. :/
