[HELP][Q] I9500 Stuck at samsung logo + an empty EFS folder

Hy everyone,
I'm a little desperate now. my i9500 is stuck at Samsung logo even the animation sound that not complete, i had mokee rom 4.4.2, made a restore from a previous nandroid backup, barebone prism rom V3.0 worked perfectly, installed nandroid manager and restored some access point passwords, worked perfectly so far, my phone reached 1% in battery then turned off after a while. when i wanted to reboot it, the phone freezes in Samsung logo.
Recovery: Philz touch recovery
I tried everything that i know about,
1° reboot in revocery and restore from a previous nandroid backup (NOT GOOD)
2° reboot in recovery, perform a full wipe, restore from a working previous backup (NOT GOOD)
3° reboot in recovery perform a wipe reset (NOT GOOD)
4° restore via odin in download mode last stock firmware for my phone I9500XXUEMJ8 (NOT GOOD)
5° i tried mounting all partitions for check and .... Eroor mounting /efs!
i checked efs folder with aroma file manager ... 0 files inside :crying:
i had a previous backup for EFS found in kies in .tar.gz format
i tried to restore it with several methods
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392632
guess what ?? NOT GOOOD
i tried manually to copy files in EFS folder and changed the permission for EACH file with the same permission from the backup in my laptop then i reboot in recovery, the files still inside but when i reboot the system, the files are gone
i've read somewhere that there is two type of efs , and the efs made by some old stock rom won't work for a new one (Personally i don't know but like i said i'm desperate) so i downloaded from sammobile the FIRST rom that was in my phone and put it via odin (Re partition was never checked) then i tried the methods above ... :crying::crying::crying:
because i only have .tar.gz i tried restore it and witout rebooting the phone ===> (EFS Folder not empty YET) made a backup in .img format so that i can restore in /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 still not good
so i REALLY need your help and plz do not ask me to go to service center, warranty binary status is 1
Thanks everyone and have a good day

you need to flash a efs partition via odin. in tar format.
the your phone will boot normally. unistall knox and only then you could put your efs backup to the phone.

How do I restore backup without custom recovery

So I flashed the lg g2 kit kat stock and super user so I have root but of course lost custom recovery. I did make a backup on my phone before I did so. I can go to stock recovry and see their is an option for restoring backup but the file is empty. I located the file using root explorer and try to move it to the cache folder where stock recovery is looking for back up but the space allotted is not big enough for my backup file so it will not let me move. So the question is simple can someone point me or shall I say show me how to restore m backup please. Thanks in advance

currently kitkat on the g2(all models) does not support custom recovery so no
You'll have to save your backup on your computer, flash back to jellybean, then root it and install recovery, then you'll be able to restore the backup. Even if you could stuff the thing into cache I don't know if the stock recovery would be capable of flashing it.

EFS folder deleted and not recoverable from TWRP backup - Verizon Note 4 N910V

Guys i need help as I have lost my EFS folder. Summary of how it happened is as below:
Initially I had Note 4 Verizon version running Lollipop 5.0.1
I used a method to turn it into Developer Edition (DE) and I was successful in doing that.
Once got through that I installed customer Recovery (TWRP) and made a backup for it (including EFS folder and everything else)
After that I got SUPERSU installed and root access to my mobile.
Everything until this point was smooth and no issues until I installed XPOSED FRAMEWORK and my mobile got stuck on the boot screen.
After alot of hit and tries I used TWRP for Factory reset and WiPE DATA.
Since then I was totally lost in a boot loop.
I used ODIN with official ROM (downloaded through SAMMOBILE) for my variant and restored the boot but again my mobile went back to stock version.
Now the problem is that my phone gives me a message "FACTORY MODE IS ON ........................................."
Now my WiFi turns OFF automatically and everytime I bootup my mobile I have to enter passcodes for WiFi every single time.
I have again got it into Developer Mode and got the root access as well but when I check the EFS folder using TWRP, ROOT EXPLORER or any other software which has access to root files I can see that EFS folder is empty.
I even tried restoring the backup through TWRP (first time complete and 2nd time only EFS folder). It shows success but still EFS folder is empty.
Now I need support if anyone can either help me with the EFS file or help me restore the EFS file that I have available through TWRP backup.
In desperate need of help because I have tried every method I can find on this forum or after google results but none is working...
Any support to help it work will be very helpful and save me from losing my only source of mobile communication.
ThankS!!!
