Assuming the main drive isn't dead, the best option would be to simply 
erase the main drive and reinstall MacOS via either the normal Apple 
Recovery mode or by using a USB drive which has the MacOS installer 
(you will need another Mac to make one though). It depends on which Mac 
you have as to how you boot into either of those other options.

Then, never ever use third-party "recovery" apps again. They simply do 
not work.
