Unless your phone it's Qualcomm based (which means you're in the wrong forum), it won't work.
Do you made an efs backup before losing your imei ?
if not, send me a recent efs folder backup + efs partition img (with efs pro) and I'll try to recover your imei.

just updated my rom and was messing about with kernels and now my phone hhas gone odd.
it works fine on vodafone(original network) but wont work on any other network.
it always shows signal but with any sim other than voda i get emergency calls only.
so iv had a look about on it and my imei has changed to what i believe is a test imei or something. i have restored my backed up efs and it hasnt changed. its still the same.
i have now put it back to official samsung firmware 2.3.6 then rooted it with cf-root kk5
baseband- i9100xxkl1
kernel- [email protected]#2
build number- gt-i9100-eng 2.3.6 gingerbread xxkl1 test-keys
any ideas?

i wasnt asking how i fix it, i was asking why its happened?
as in why did restoring my efs still leave me with this odd imei number?
If we knew how it happened it would not be a problem .All that is known is that it is a result of flashing roms .

Flashing the ROM has corrupt your EFS file that contains your phones IMEI number therefore changing it to a false one.Thats why we do backups.Not overly common but common enough.The problem now is to get back your original IMEI by correcting the EFS folder.WHAT type of backup do you have?TAR,ZIP,e.t.c.?
Odia has a good rep at getting phones back up and running.Worth a try.
thats the thing. i understand flashing rom can somehow corrupt the backed up efs but it cant when my back up was on my laptop.
the backup i used was an .img file generated by hellcats ktool app. i also restored it with this app.
i also have the .tar.gz efs backups that are generater automatically but how do i flash this, other than adb. id use adb but it seems to have got a little confussed on my laptop, and dont ever work since i got my sgs2 :/

Heres a link.give this a try.Its an EFS backup tool.Make a backup of your current(wrong)EFS folder in img or tar.It will appear in a folder called EFSProBackup.You need this folder to restore.Open the folder and delete the backup.Put your original backup you made that you have in your PC inside and use the restore option.this program supports backup/restore of img and tar formats so you could try and use it to restore your original ones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308546
download the release zip
Id try the img restore first:the option to format current EFS before restore is at your own risk.Please read carefully.
my phone has forgotten its imei. ive not flashed it in a while and restoring it with efs pro doesnt change anything. ive tried many times and my efs folder looks just like it should but the nv data files are blank.
warranty service is out as it got wet a while back .
if i cant repair it myself ill replace it and use it for a media device.
what can i do to repair this any ideas?
Without a backup, it's a service centre job (or a music player as you mentioned).

back up is not an issue i have tham but it wont take a back up from the pc in any way shape or form. also have unknown baseband
I'm referring to an EFS backup, BTW. Not a CWM/other backup. Without an EFS backup, you have zero options.
Now then...If you are talking about an EFS backup when you say 'back up is not an issue i have them but it wont take a back up from the pc in any way shape or form':-
A) What app did you use to make the EFS backup (or was it an auto-backup EFS made by Siyah/similar)
B) What are you doing to/how are you trying to restore the EFS
?
a copy paste back up and an efs pro backup of efs folder. copying and fixing permissions doesnt solve neither does restoring efs pro back up.
looks like its now a posh media player
Hi can i restore the efs from a cwm backup ? I can't do a restore from cwm as i get "md5 mismatch" error
I´ve rooted my s3 and now is my IMEI 004999010640000/01 and after that it is not possible to make calls,. I´ve read a lot of pages about restoring IMEI by EFS back up I have, but nothing still work. Can somebody help me??
EFS back up was created after rooting so maybe that the reason, why I cannot restore (restoring works but with false data of IMEI, is it write??) So have can I put my IMEI back without back up??
Thank you
Factory reset flash stock rom that fails it is a service centre repair.
The efs backup is in tar or tar.gz format ? If yes just unpack it using 7zip and copy paste efs folder contents from backup to phone efs folder ....
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !
You only rooted? Is that the FULL story? How did you root?
I lost my IMEI number.If I restored an old backup that contains an efs backup,would that work ? Sorry if I'm missing something,never encountered such a problem.
[bump]
I'm sorry for this I know this is against the rules but this is a serious a serious issue.I couldn't make/receive calls for the last 3 days.I have got the efs backup folder I'm just not sure how do I restore it ??

First what version of TWRP you have ?
Second read this little thing from droidviews : http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-efs-data-on-nexus-5/
" 1.Boot your phone into recovery mode.
2.Tap the “Backup” button.
3.Then check the EFS option in the list.
4.Finally, swipe the confirmation slider.
5.Reboot the device.
6.To recover the lost EFS , you can select “Restore” option next time. "

I'm sure I backed up efs when I made the backup because the efs folder is there and has a tar file.If I restored the backup would that restore efs too ? if so,twrp won't display internal SD content when I choose restore for some reason...

Try moving your backup folder in internal storage then restore your efs if this is possible

You should never make any changes to efs folder. Looks now like your efs is corrupted. How did you backup efs? If it was through twrp then you can restore it through twrp.
