Hi, I have my phone back. Thanks to all of you and those who wrote about this issue.
What I did:
- following Genius' suggestions and mirek190's method ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567133 )

. go into recovery and make full wipe

. go to download mode

. install via Odin PHE-N9005XXUDMJ7-20131111145254 and use pit file (from mirek) as well and check boxes in odin :
nand erase all,
Re-partition
Phone efs clear

- after install rom go into recovery and make full wipe again

- odin again and install CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 (by Chainfire) ( button AP in odin )

- odin again and install philz_touch_6.08.9-hltexx.tar.md5 (by Phil3759) ( button AP in odin )

- boot system and voilà...no more "Factory Mode" and my EFS is back
Now we're ready for KitKat. Waiting X-NOTE V.8

With that being said im pretty sure flashing a modem could have fixed your problem?

Hey, do you still have mirek's PIT file. He seems to have lost them and the links are broken on his thread, Also, I've got the Baseband UNKNOWN ,imei null/null problem and have no EFS backup . My phone is the 32 GB N9005 (hong kong version). Should I be flashing the PHE stock rom or any other would do (like I have the poland rom now) ? I hope I can reconstruct the EFS .

    OK We have efs files in root/efs - IMEI data WiFi Mac etc etc

    EDIT: Seems ES Explorer isn't too great at showing us files! doh

    It's scattered from what I can gather from that thread, -- Have a read through it, I scanned it a couple of times, but some of it is in broken English so I couldn't quite understand it all.

    In all honesty I don't think anyone understands the EFS stuff 100% currently, Especially now with 4..4.2 now it may have changed again.

    Hi Mates,
    I need some help to restore my EFS partition, I think:confused:.
    After a restore from X-Note backup, with TWRP, anytime I start the phone I get "FACTORY MODE IS ON" and need to copy the EFS files from a backup I'd made at the begining (tar.gz) to the EFS on the root and it works properly.
    TWRP 2.6.3.7 isn't able to mount the EFS partition and stock recovery saids "Error mounting EFS: invalid argument".

    Can any body help me with this issue?:good:

    Which tool you've used to backup your EFS?
    It shoud has the restore function.
