Hello.
After which actions phone's IMEI became "blank"? The problem can be with phone's modem. Try to re-flash the phone with different firmwares one by one and look whether phone's IMEI is not "blank". Also please use the latest software version.

Most likely, the problem is with phone's modem (not with EFS). Try to search another firmwares with another Android versions (not 2.3.6), re-flash the phone with these firmwares and look whether phone's IMEI is not null.
