If I'm not mistaken, the contents of that partition are unique to your phone. Restoring from someone else's won't work or help you.
Try using Odin to flash the BOK3 Factory Restore image. It will delete everything and reset your phone; provided you have a valid SIM card, the phone should then regenerate your IMEI

Yeah it should work, but no, it doesn't, and I heard that the information can be changed to build your own one.

Or can you tell me how to restore it in AP, CSC, BT? i alreade flashed it on AP but it doesn work.

Are you sure you have a verizon S5?
You flashed this G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5 in odin in the AP section and it failed?

here is the 16gb S5 pit file Load it in the PIT section then load the BOK3 tar image in the AP section make sure under options that repartion is checked. If it fails pull battery try again plug cable into different port on computer maybe try different cable. If it still fails you dont have a verizon s5

Yeah, im really sure, thats a lil bit weard that it doesnt work, i was tinking if i can downgrade to kitkat, what doy you think about it?
I already do that and install the pit and the firmware and then i realize that Odin its saying that is a Firmware update and no a restoration and when the s5 starter back like if it was an actualization.

If you cant flash the above firmware then you can't flash anything verizon. Are you sure you dont have one of the Verizon partner phones as they take different firmware. What build does it say you have on the phone?

i think that i found the problem after read a lot of post and unkowing this, i´ve passing this like nothing but my phone isnt activated by verizon. there is a way to activate it without calling verizon or puting a verizon sim? im not currently living in US so i can buy a verizon sim card and activate it, -.- , so i have a s5 that i cant use, so i got a rock, right?

That still doesnt address the fact you cant flash verizon official firmware

If you don't have a SIM card in, you're not going to have any useful IMEI data. The SIM is what allows the phone to communicate with Verizon's network. What were you planning to do with a phone without activating it?

Yeah i already flashed the stock, but i didnt even get a registration imei so that's why I can't get data and all of that's stuff. Did you know how to activate it without a Sim card.?

Verizon phones arent sim locked just put a sim in there

Activation is done via sim not network. An activated sim is activated

Recovering IMEI And Data Connection After Flashing WRONG Root Package Intended For I9300:

Make sure you have Samsung Kies or the Samsung USB Driver installed on your PC.
Download and Extract: Odin3 3.04.zip - 457.11 KB to your PC if you don't already have it.

With your Phone Switched Off, press and hold: 'VOL DN' + 'HOME' + 'POWER' to enter Download Mode.
Connect your phone to your PC via USB Cable and start Odin.

Wait for your phone to reboot then go to your Dialer and press: *#06#. You should now see your IMEI and your Data Connection will be back.

but this is for an s3, and is talking about param_bin that should be tha NON-HLOS.bin, or i am wrong?

OK, firstly thanks for all your help.
-The Pit file that you give me I already flash it and it didnt work.
-I tried to flash the official firmware, and it didn't work.
-And already flash both of them together.
-I already tried with a Verizon SIM, and it didn't work.
-Already flash the modem and it didn't work.

And with the text that I put on the previous message, is from a guy that solve this but flashing a param_bin.
But in the s5 we dont have param.bin, but we have a NON-HLOS.bin.

So, I already have the same problem. I doesn't have the .nv_data.

And I'm currently Root in the BOK3 version. And I don't know what to do.

How did i know if i have a developers edition? that would change something?
