Hmm... Sure you have a GT-I9100, and not an SGH-I777, or SGH-I727, or SGH-T989, or SPH-D710?
I have a GT-I9100, and it says "Software Update 2.0.0" in my Titanium Backup...
Root uninstaller. It'll also remove anything else you might not want. Swype, social hub etc.

No prob. I wanted to make sure you don't flash something to your phone that isn't meant for it, or otherwise follow directions for a device that isn't yours.

Dear Noob..you cannot change the IMEI number yourself..you need to have a backup of your EFS folder for that..if you backed it up use the Ktools app to restore the nav_data.bin file...
Otherwise Service Center..
I hope it helped..
P.S. Post questions in the Q&A section..it is there for a reason..
I also flashed omega v14 and ended up the same as you

Looks like you are in deep trouble.
Considering you are asking this question in general section, I'll take the liberty of assuming that you did not backup your efs folder.
May be someone else can pitch in here to help you. Meanwhile you can confirm if you have the backup of efs folder or not?

Think Omega automatically backs up efs?
Flash stock GB rom gets imei back...
GT-i9300 CM10
Omega rom ..
efs Backup (added the option to create efs backup during installation)
did you have you it will be efs zip or tar on the sd card .

Statements like that make me really apprehensive about referring people to XDA for help. Next time you have a bright idea and want to share it, just don't.

Here is a guide to repair your IMEI from the SGS2 Forum! It should be the same! I solved my IMEI problem with this Guide on my SGS1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
[GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
It is very important that you back up your efs before flashing any ROM, and before you folow this guide BACKUP the faulty efs folder because it contains the old backup of the file nv_data.bin. It beginns with a dot like .nv_data or similar (because I haven't a SGS3, but the structure of the efs folder should be similar).
Please be carefully and think twice what you are doing!!!

i tried that one too..i placed the 2 backups on my internal sd card but when i press restore efs from backup it says that no such file exists..do i have to place them in another place?or what`s the problem?can you make a short tuto please
No idea.. what would be best would be remembering how you took them....or perhaps the dev thread for the 2nd app has more info - did you read it /ask in the thread.
If you can't restore the backup, you can try and restore to stock otherwise send for repair
