I tried all the other methods and suggestions. Finally I tried this one and it worked. The post is in another language, but the code works. Don't worry if terminal tells you bla bla bla not found, just keep typing in the next code. When you reboot, factory mode will be a thing of the past.

Holy crap finally I'm out of this DAMN factory mode.. Nothing else worked!
I got in there initially by trying to repair my EFS partition.

Thank you thank you thank you.

I really appreciate the help here. I had a i605 that had that annoying Factory Mode box because I messed up my EFS folder with Root Explorer. Now at least I have a baseband and 000000000's for my ESN. Much appreciative to the developers who share their knowledge with us.

FIX for getting out out of Factory Mode-Must be rooted

Might as well post the fix since it does work.

From terminal emulator or adb shell

su

rm /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
rm /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
echo -n ON >> /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chown 1000.1000 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/keystr
chmod 0744 /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
reboot

Also located here, on XDA. What a coincidence

To cut down on errors you can copy-paste these commands into the terminal emulator.

Excellent suggestion. Factory mode is an inconvenience, but repairable. Hosing up your /efs,4 and without a backup. Painful.

But how can i change permissions in the terminal. On every command is answering with "Permission denied"?

Tnx in advance for your answer.

You need to be root. Type su, approve the root request when the message pops up.
If you phone is not rooted, then you need to root it.
