Read the faqs and guides .
EFS Pro and other methods .
i read it 100 times, tried with EFS pro but nothing happend :/ ....can i flash efs.tar via odin???
No, try philz recovery instead. Your phone may have been on such on old firmware for a reason, usually a botched efs repair.

ok tnx, now i flashed ultima rom with mg4 modem, now iget out from factory mod with terminal emulator...how i can restore efs.tar with philz reovery???? where is the option to restore in philz?? i have latest philz??
i put efs_Backup in sdcard1/clockwordmod/backup and when i start to restore efs there is a message "nothing to restore in /storage/sdcard1/clockwordmod/backup/.efs_backup/
Try manually extracting the .tar file on your pc. Copy all the files to the efs folder aims file manager, set permissions then reboot.
im on good way, all what i need to do is restoring efs, but i cant, i tried with coping files and seting perrmision but nothing hapend :/ can you help me trought teamviewer??
You must restore the full package. After this try a hard Reset.
You must delete the old files (not more than need)
i restored efs but nothing happend, downgrade to 4.0.4 offical and restore efs folder again nothing, i send it to repair service and wait for it now

10 hours after i tried using the swapper 2...my galaxy s3 GT-I9300 rebooted suddenly and got stuck in the galaxy s3 logo. I was rooted and had sotmax v14 running on it. I flashed it several times with that ROM and also cm 10.1 from the sd card. Then i flashed it with a stock ROM using odin. I had access to download mode and recovery mode. In the stock recovery mode it showed something like "E:/eror mounting efs((invalid arguement)).
I have very little knowledge about flashing and i do not even know what EFS is and thus i dont remember of taking a backup of that efs. I flashed it with CF root to access CWM recovery. Now in CWM recovery when i chose sd car it says
"E:cant mount sd card" and when i tried to mount efs it displayed "error mounting efs".
I have been trying hard for 2 days with little food. Any help would be highly appreciated. Help me. What should i do now?? Iam stuck on the galaxy s3 logo no matter what i do...i tried everything factory reset wipe data cache etc etc. please help!!!!
please help i have the same problem when i try to restore my efs folder
i have access to download mode and costum recovery but the phone is all time in bootloop in the logo of samsung galaxy s3 gt i9300
just restore the efs backup you've made. if you didn't, try restoring any nandroid backups, maybe they have efs included. if that doesn't work, try looking in the sdcard for some files that have "efs" in the name, some kernels back it up automatically. use adb to view the files (Google it). if that doesn't work, try flashing a stock rom and factory resetting from recovery.
and that is absolutely everything you can do.

The main problem is I am not able to access the sdcard as it says sdcard cannot be mounted. I remember to have made backups with ROM manager but i dont have access to it. I had ICS 4.04 running on it when i purchased the phone. I tried flashing the phone with two compatible ROMs from Sammobile.com which are jellybean ROMs and factory resetting it, but that did not help too. Are those the stock ROM for the galaxy S3 or should I flash it with ICS 4.04??? Please help me. Thanks in advance!!!!

Try reading the stickies in general forum, follow the instructions on how to return to stock.
Well i was playing with my phone, flashed a new rom everything was fine but i had no mobile connection. I had an Efs backup already created with Ktool and wanted to restore it. Restored the img. file nothing happened. Restored the .tar file and my phone just broke. It's not even a bootloop the phone freezes on the boot logo. I tried kies recovery and flashing a stock rom with odin but nothing works. The only firmware that works is the stock ICS 4.0.4 and when i instal it the pc doesn't recognize it and i can't access anything else than odin. Someone please help !
If you can get ics to boot then it isn't bricked.
Panic flashing can brick it, however, so slow down and think. afaik JB won't boot if the efs partition won't mount.
Try flashing Philz recovery via odin, use that to restore/fix your efs then factory reset and flash an official 4.1.2 stock rom.
Also, go read the stickied help for efs:

Well since i already tried to flash a stock rom the efs backup got deleted probably. Could you please explain me step by step the Philz recovery and what to do after.
Sorry, no. You'll have to learn how to install and use it.
I'll just get it to service today, still thanks for your help
Hello everyone maybe im not the only here that has same problem
I accidently deleated efs folder but thats does not matter it cant boot into android 4.1-4.3 after that even official firmware but it boots into android 4.0.4 any fix please
No it won't boot, without the efs partition mounted. ICS will cause SDS.
Only cure is to restore a backup of your efs partition, no backup then you need to pay for a repair.

Try this sticky thread:

Either your restore process isn't working or the partition is corrupt, you may need to format efs partition before restoring in recovery.

Edit fixed:
After 3 days of testing many methods here is steps that working:
1- copy your efs folder files to sdcard
2- after flash stock 4.1.2 root and adb try to format your efs using efs professional if no error go to last step but if you get (cant mount efs error) and phone doesn't boot go to next step
3-download this file Here and flash with odin this will fix can't mount efs and phone will boot normaly but no network
4- using xplore file manger and set access to root and mount and copy replace efs folder files with your original efs folder in step 1
After this network will work for stock and aosp roms
Please use this only if you getting unknown baseband on aosp roms
