Restore your backed up EFS folder if you did not then try factory reset.

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!!!

Backing up someone elses folder will only give you their IMEI. by doing so you will void the imei as it cant be on 2 devices. Not to mention no one is gonna give you access to their IMEI number. My suggestion would be to start over from scratch.
Try GSII Repair by helroz. If that doesn't work you will need a professional restore. Mobiletechvideos can do it for a small fee.

i used "I9100_EFS_I9100XXKP9_CL45181_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
but without any luck ,imei still null/null
and i also noticed that the service menu is blank

No, you can't get a new imei by installing that app, it can only help if you made a backup of your efs folder before you broke it. Suggest you go read the basics in general, sticky threads. Nandroid does not backup efs.

i have previously made a backup but when i try to restore nothing happens and the generic imei doesn't change
You needed to understand the basics, there is a good reason why it isn't working. Go read the thread I mentioned.
