And if you don't have a backup, just flash the factory images a gazillion times until the imei comes back

Where does the efs folder can be found? I've searched for it in rootExplorer but no way to find it.

You don't need to back it up. The Nexus devices don't have the same problem samsung has.

But if you want to anyways, here:

The loss of the imei can usually be fixed by flashing the factory images.

Flash the factory image. If it doesn't work the first time try again. It's your only hope. I'd give up if I got close to a gazillion time though

If that doesn't work I'd RMA it if you can.
