INVALID IMEI NUMBER!! Galaxy S5

I have a Samsung s5

Until about a week ago my phone worked absolutely fine. Then suddenly lost all signal and can no longer send/receive messages or make/receive calls. However mobile data works so I can connect to the internet out of the house. Its saying my IMEI is invalid.

When I type *#06# it simply says "invalid"

After this I then typed this code *#197328640# no command appeared, all that happened was the numbers disappeared, this happens for the majority of "secret commands" or whatever these types of commands are. Therefor I couldn’t move on with process of getting my IMEI restored.

I have also tried using EFS Pocessor to restore this, but I am unsure of how this works and have tried several times with no sucess.

PLEASE HELP!!

The phone is under a replacement warranty (which is included in the price you pay for the phone). Back up everything, then bring it back and ask them to please fix or replace the phone. You don't waste time fixing things that are someone else's responsibility to fix.
