Apparently my old s4 is now reading unknown for baseband and null null when trying to view the imei. If it isn't to much to ask would someone be willing to share their s4 efs backup? Please pm if possible. Thanks again.

No.
No one is willing to share their EFS backup with you. That's like someone giving you their phone.
yes i can, but how can i give it to you?

You will be unable to use it with your phone anyways. Efs is made specifically for your phone and your phone alone. It contains data that interacts with hardware on your phone and will be incompatible using any other efs configuration. What do you need an efs for?

Just an FYI this is the wrong section, it should be posted in Help & Troubleshooting.
But anyways check these posts out, I had lost my EFS and NV files and following that helped get everything running again.

You didn't say how, or what you were doing when you lost them but if you were trying some of the 4.4 ROMs it will appear that way on some phones, mine being one. Download a stock ROM and flash it after wiping all, don't have to wipe external SD. Or if you still have one of the ROMs installed pm me and i will walk you through getting it going. If it's unrelated to flashing, follow the advice given.
My cousins phone has null imei is there any way to restore it or check if still exists in some file or somewhere, right now i have it and im trying to see if theres a way to find it, i dont have a backup to restore it
on samsung phones there's a efs partition but thats not the case for LG phones, that was my hope i dont know if it can be recovered
Does he remember making a back up?

Lost the imei tinkering.. Have no clue how but it is now missing from the settings and will not connect to the network. This is on my tmo g3. Please help
Dial *#06#
Nothing
What have you done to the phone?
Most of the time there is a sticker under the battery.
Yeah but what do i use to get the imei back inside the phone instead of just the sticker
Will donate if somebody can help me figure this out..
Isn't this that efs backup stuff talked about in the PurpleDrake thread?

As Skizzy034 noted you'll need to have performed an EFS backup. You can either flash the zips you made or use ADB to restore the partition.
Or call t mobile and tell em your phone does not work right and get replacement. You still never said what happened? What did you do right before issue happened?
I believe I saw a efs recovery method in the lg g2 forum but it looked like a long process and it might not even work for our phone. If I was you I would try to find it quick because normally anything that can potentially spoof imei numbers gets deleted when a moderator notices it.
I flashed ROM for wrong model

That's of no help unless somebody comes out with a method for restoring without a backup (I've seen it done with a couple devices). Until that happens, unfortunately there's not a lot you can do with the device.
Do a search for a member by the name Odia, I messed mine up before on another phone and He helped me restore withbout any backup. This was before I ever heard of efs

What about if your phone has the WRONG imei number after flashing a ROM? Does that matter? The phone still works.
I don't have any info on being able to help but this is a prime example of why you take the few extra steps and back up. Most of the time I'll admit, in fact I have never needed mine but on those rare occasions its literally a phone saver.

Same happened to me! Did you fixed it or send it back for repair?
Editing the IMEI in any way is illegal and against our rules. The only allowed way is to have a backup. Anything else is not allowed here.
Also do not Suggest people send the device in to be repaired under warranty. This is Fraud and also not allowed.

Lock in eBay, offer the remote imei repair
Since you're rooted, Samsung won't even reflash it. Sucks.
S6 Edge
The only way for a user to restore their IMEI is to have done a backup originally before attempting to do any changes.
You need to take the device go the carrier for repair.
Altering changing or manipulating IMEI numbers on devices is illegal in some places and not something allowed for discussion on XDA.

hello.. people there is anyone has a backup a Sprint Galaxy S6 EFS (SM-G920P)
for some reason i can see my imei number and my phone can made any call
no network registration
PLEASE HELP
I do. Is there any personal info in an efs backup? I can share if there isn't.
Doesn't sound like there is. I will pm a link if you want. Or have you been fixed?
I do not know if trying to restore a backup of someone else's EFS partition will do any good.
"The EFS partition on modern Android phones houses the unique IMEI for your device, which is essentially an identification number that lets you connect to mobile networks."

I accidentally erased my efs trying to format a corrupt usb drive in TWRP. Could you help me out with my efs please?
It doesn't help. I've written a new efs and new clean certs, qcn, and unlocked with 2 different people. I'm still not registering on to T-Mobile, AT&T Prepaid, Cricket or anyone. I think erased EFS needs to be fixed by Samsung.
