First of all, do u have any backup of efs? If yes then try to restore it and if not then try the following methods.
Flash latest stock firmware.
Root ur device.
Install x-plore or any root file browser.
Go to root directory and open /efs folder.
Open /efs/FactoryApp/keystr and edit and write 'ON'
Open /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode and edit it and write 'ON'
Change permission of both file to 744 mode and restart ur device. It may help u to get ur phone working. Try it now.

The permissions for the folder and each files are different. Some files has permissions 744 and some files has 755 and the permissions of efs folder is 711

Could you elaborate. Take a screenshot folder "EFS" in the resolution and in the folder contents show what should set the resolution?

You can restore the efs file with kTool by Hellcat, it`is in the Playstore. First place your backedup efs file in /sdcard/efs.image and then restore. Haven`t done it myself yet, and you better google it or wait for other advices by people who actualy did it. Good luck

I haven`t restored my efs ever, so i`am not 100 % sure it will work. The esfile explorer file should be an .img file i think. Betterwait for someone who knows more about this stuff. Don`t you have a working backup in cwm that you can restore and have your imei number back?

Using es file explorer or root explorer mount system as rw and delete the current efs folder. Then copy / past the copy you saved and reboot. Original imei will show again.

Did you first delete the current efs folder? Maybe try again and delete the factory folder as well and confirm the remaining efs folder has nothing in it. Then past the copy efs folder and reboot. If that doesn't work then possible you don't have a full copy.
My backup of those 2 folders have have 19 items in each when viewing in My Files. How many does yours have?

What format does you backuped efs file have, tar or zip or something else.
It's easiest to do it in Recovery mode, make sure /efs and sdcard are mounted in Mounts&Storage.
Connect to the phone over ADB, then copy the contents of the backed up folder to /efs and restore permissions
Code:
cp /sdcard/YOUR/EFS/Folder/* /efs/
chown -R radio:radio /efs/
chmod -R 755 /efs
Then reboot the phone, hopefully it will work. If not, please attach the logfile from the /efs folder to the post so we can see what goes wrong.

Can I remove my Nandroid backup from external SDcard on phone to my PC, and then when I wanna use it, put it back on phone?
Will the backup work then and be recognized by CWM recovery
Yes, you should copy it to a PC for safety. Make sure you have a copy of your /efs folder on your PC too

Get Rom toolbox and go to the interface section and click on fonts. Now click Local fonts. Now you want to find the font you want on your SD card and install them in a click. So Simple. Much Easy. Fast. Such amazement. Wow. (Doge meme hahaha)
