You should save messing with the NV data as a last resort.
Have you flashed your firmware via Odin and factory reset? This is often all that is needed.

So I should reflash the Rom using Odin cause I don't think I have NV I couldn't find the nv data when using root explorer

I attached images of the no imei and my car, android version, and kernel.

Maybe I can flash back to stock?

The NV data isnt accessible that way. But yes. Flash your firmware and theres a good chance itll fix the problems.

Or if you want, find your current bootloader version by opening Terminal Emulator and entering this:

getprop ro.bootloader

Then whatever it returns is what you need to flash. You can try flashing the modem only first, but if that doesn't work flash the full firmware with Odin.

If the IMEI doesnt return, PM me and ill help you restore it. But im betting its a modem/firmware mismatch and the above steps will fix it.

I did try reinstalling the Rom using Rom installer but not Odin I also tried to restore. To an earlier back up and both didn't do anything. I won't be able to try Odin till I get home

Try flashing the MJB modem first. That may be all that it needs.

sir u are a sexy angel and a scholar i managed to figure it out

so all i had to do to fix this was

1) download just the modem from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2252932

2) connect phone to pc

3) copy zip over (do not un zip)

4) reboot to recovery

5) install zip

done all issues regarding the imei and network have been fixed

its super easy and i dont know why it was so hard to find a thread on how to fix this issue
