You'll have to flash back to stock KK4 (without bootloaders) to restore it. Once on stock, make a backup of your efs folder. Get back up to Captivating and if you get the error again, simply replace your efs folder with your backed up one (with the right permissions) and reboot. Should be good from there.
P.S.: There are plenty of little guides explaining how to recovery from IMEI error/lost. Use the search next time
Thanks for answer, is it safe to modify EFS folder? in case of anything goes wrong how can i restore the original state?
P.S.: Is this a general issue regarding 4.2.2 for this device or a rom cooking error?
Thanks in advance!

It's not a general issue, it randomly happens and lucky for you, it's easily fixable.
Yes, it's safe to replace the efs folder. Know that without it, you won't have signal nor data so you don't wanna mess with it. Going back to stock will flash the correct one on your device (which will fix your IMEI problem) and if you get this issue again, you'll have a backup of the correct efs folder.
Great! Thanks again for your answer!
Hi, I bought an unlocked galaxy ace S5830M a few months ago, and I rooted it as well so I can install a new ROM. I've read that I need to back up my EFS folder, but I found out it's empty. Is that normal? Do I need to backup anything at all if the phone came factory unlocked? I've looked for the answers, but couldn't find anything either here or on google that could tell me it was safe to install a new ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Download stock rom (SPtools mode)
2. Use SPtools to “format+download” your device
3. Now you have stock rom installed and baseband.
4.To insert Imei, use Mtk droid tools.
After this you have always to add your imei after flash custom rom
For permanent imei fix use this Tutorial
Should I format first then download in sp flash tool.

first try reflashing, if that doesnt work, grab a n6 factory image and flash that.

I tried re flashing dp2
Followed by flashing factory images of marshmallow
Followed by persist fix from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576
But still no result... The phone has just gone out of warranty and cant be given for RMA..
Can efs backup of someone else be flashed as I have seen the same somewhere in Samsung galaxy forums

I have the same problem. Unknown IMEI and baseband.
Even I have the same problem. No sim no service error because of unknown baseband and IMEI. Could you please let me know the detailed steps how you fixed it.

The OP got his phone fixed by the guarantee. I would suggest to flash stock firmware from Google's download pages. Get it back to stock and see if the problem persists.
How does the efs get deleted ?

I had an LG G2 that it happened to. Something must have went wrong during the flash. Just happened. Nothing I did wrong, just happened. Started backing up EFS after that. Backed it up during initial flash of N6, save it to Gdrive. Haven't worried about EFS since.
Hi, everyone.
I appreciate if anyone can help me restore my IMEI. I can't connect to network after flashing a custom rom. I've already flashed different versions of official firmware via fastboot, twrp flashable stock ROM, and reflashed modem and erased modemst1 and modemst2 to no avail. I've exhausted every possible option without having to send this to a service center.
Thanks and best regards,
Geb

Thanks for your kind intention. I've tried that method before to no avail. I installed all necessary drivers, and followed the steps faithfully. i was able to extract the qcn file, explore the contents of the EFS partition, modify the qcn file and edit it, but the dead end I ran into was the phone itself is write-protected when I send the qcn file back. Can you please share with me your backup of TWRP EFS partition? It's the only thing that can possibly save my phone. Thanks.

By the way, my IMEI is still intact when you use "mfastboot getvar all" command and in the "Barcode" in the bootloader menu. It's just that the IMEI = 0 when I dial *06#. I know it is in there somewhere. Perhaps you can share with me your EFS and Persist partition backup in TWRP?

A guy in Moto G5 Plus (potter) forums tried that, his IMEI is still zero, but he got back his signal. I will just try and see if it will work. I'm not a criminal to use someone's IMEI, I just don't want to give up on my phone just yet. Can you IM me a link of your EFS backup, perhaps?

Using someone else's imei has great potential to cause great problems for you and the person who gives it to you. Never give away your imei or use an imei from another device.
