Wait wait wait!!!
You missed one step!
It's not that important; but in case if you need it.
If you need your whatsapp messages / music playlists as before, you need to copy everything in your internal sd card to your pc(or anywhere) and put it back after you restore the cwm backup.

@SHELDON COOPR This might work.
1. Install latest Android-Andi TWRP recovery.
2. Check the md5 of the ROM and Gapps and copy them to your tablet (if you have a microSD card put them on that instead and insert it into your tablet.
3. Boot into TWRP and make a backup.
4. Click Wipe > Advanced wipe. Select system, data, cache, dalvik. If the ROM and backup are on your external SD card then wipe internal SD also.)
5. Flash ROM.zip and gapps.zip and any other addons.
6. Click "Wipe Cache/Dalvik."
7. After the wipe is completed, click "Back" then "Reboot."
8. Once the ROM reboots to the setup screen, let it sit for 5 minutes and then reboot back into recovery.
9. Click Wipe > Advanced Wipe
10. Select Dalvik Cache and Cache.
11. Click "Home" at the top of the screen and then click Reboot > System.
12. The ROM will go into "Android is Upgrading. Optimizing Apps"
13. Go through setup like normal and enjoy the ROM.

Wow, that could be a problem. I found this article that might work. http://www.digitalreborn.com/fix-samsung-galaxy-unable-mount-efs/
One other thing that I thought of was to Odin back to stock, but that might not work if what I said above didn't. So I would recommend looking at the link above.

Ignore what I just said about re-flashing stock with Odin.
efs is a partition on the phone's internal memory that is used to store important information (like the IMEI - the unique serial number of the phone). It's not accessible to a normal user and shouldn't get corrupted under regular use.*
With all of that said, you're apparently having such a problem, but I'm pretty sure that simply rewriting the firmware isn't going to fix this - that partition isn't included in the stock firmware files.

Quoted from http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/377195-what-does-failed-mount-efs-mean.
One thing I make sure I always do is make a backup of EFS before I flash anything. (The latest @Android-Andi TWRP will do this)

HI everyone
is there any chance to restore efs to my tablet, which i accidentally deleted while installing new os.....
thanks
You may have installed the wrong rom like P3100 instead of P3110?
Happened to me with my P5113, instead of P5110 , I did P5100.
Was able to go into D/L mode and odin flash correct rom.

Hi there,
I am having Lenovo a6000. I rooted it via King root. Few days back i installed chainfire3d on it. it asked for reboot so i just click yes. . now after reboot my phone went in boot loop. i have twrp recovery installed so i wipe dalvik, cache and system. Also i did factory reset. so i don't have root access and also i don't have my backup of android. So what should i do? I think installing stock ROM will do but is there any other way out of it?

Okay. If you have working TWRP installed the chances of fixing your phone are 98%.
Your system parition is invalid or corrupted. The only way is intalling stock rom and Gapps if you don't have a backup. If you have a backup just restore it.
Here are the steps:
1. Download these files on your computer:
https://userscloud.com/0mz53p05uoy1 - Micro Gapps
https://userscloud.com/vn2vevhp2vd0 - Stock rom
2. Put the files on your phone. Use an USB cable or a micro SD adapter for that.
If you need help with this just ask.
You can put them anywhere (SD card, internal memory), just remember where you put the files.
3. Enter your TWRP recovery.
Go to Wipe > Advenced Wipe
Now select Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data.
Swipe to wipe.
4. Go to main menu of recovery.
Select install.
Now find your Stock rom file and install it.
Select install again.
Now find the Gapps file and install that.
You are done. Set up your phone, install apps you need and then
make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP!
Anyways you can bookmark this and use it to fix your phone any time.
