Hello.

Please, read phone's info (turn on USB Debugging Mode in the phone, press "Read info" button at "Android / EFS manager" tab in Software) and post here full Software log with this info.

"Baseband: unknown" means modem part is damaged in your device. This can be Software (modem firmware is damaged or You have written unsuitable firmware) or HW problem. Most likely, this is Software problem (problem with modem firmware).

At first, try re-flash the device with different firmwares and check, whether modem is correct (not Unknown) and only then (when phone's modem part will be correct) try to perform "Repair IMEI" operation. It is not possible to repair IMEI, if phone's modem part is damaged.
