Recover lost IMEI and fix NVRAM error in WiFi

Many people have faced the problem of losing both of their IMEIs. I've faced it too and once you get this problem, you have no other option other than giving your phone to service center. Once you give your phone in the service center, you're at their mercy.
Most probably they'll send your phone to some other city to get it fixed and it'll take a minimum of a week or two.
This guide can also help you if you face an "NVRAM Error" with WiFi

You can now save the hassle of service center trips and backup your IMEI very easily.

Requirements:
Root access
File manager that can create zips (I prefer Root Explorer)

Steps:
1. Open root explorer/any other root file manager
2. Go to the root directory of your phone, make sure you grant root access to your explorer
3. Open "data" folder (it's path will look like this "/data"), scroll down and copy the "nvram" folder in your SDcard
4. Now, I'm sure that you must have downloaded a superuser zip for root access, basically what we're trying to do here is that we're making our own flashable zip of NVRAM folder to recover IMEI.
We can do this by extracting the "Meta-Inf" folder from the zip.
5. Copy the nvram folder and Meta-Inf folder in one folder, select both the items and make a zip file, rename it to IMEI fix
6. Make sure that the zip you created is fine or not by opening the zip, if you see only 2 things i.e the nvram folder and the Meta-Inf folder then everything's fine and your zip is ready to be flashed.
