-some patience.
no need nvdata.img just flash nvram.img by method as follows
download stock rom and extract. Now copy nvram file you have to folder where scatter file and other images are located.change file extension of nvram to nvram.img.if you have nvram.bin rename to nvram.img.
install notepad++ in your pc
open scatter.txt file with notepad++ and find nvram.change is download from false to true and file name to nvram.img save the scatter file.now exit all
open sp flash tool and load scatter file you can see nvram.img loaded. now select format all + download and flash.
now very important step turn on phone and when welcome screen comes do not do anything just turn it off.
make a text file anywhere in desktop and note down base size and address of nvdata and nvcfg to that text file.it will be required in next step.
now open sp flash tool again and load scatter untick all and go to format tab here paste base and size of nvdata previously noted and click on download button if format success then similarity copy paste base and address of nvcfg and click on download button connect phone and let format done.
now when format success then remove device go to recovery mode hard reset if possible or just turn on phone.
u will see
-imei restored successfully and network working again.
main summary of this whole process is that you need to just flash nvram.img now erase nvdata and nvcfg partition.there are various methods of doing that other than sp flash tool like twrp or act unlock tool method u can try any method.
Hope it helps.

You can flash the engineer firmware on unlocked bootloader then write IMEI2 with Modem Meta then reflash the factory firmware or use a paid tool to write IMEI1 & IMEI2

I just checked calls and they are working... Except mobile data and sms, why? Because there is no IMEI? then how calls are working.. I dont understand it.
Maybe i should just download backuped nvdata & nvram?

.....
anyway there are multiple ways to do this.
use mtkclient tool
go to erase tab and erase nvram, nvcfg, nvdata
go to write tab and write nvram and nvcfg partition from your backup.
reboot if imei not get reset once and check again.
