    Use a FTP client or your host's cPanel file manager to replace the code in functions.php with original one.

    If you have downloaded your theme to your computer just re-up the functions.php with your ftp client.

    That's about it, just re upload the Function.php of the theme. In the meantime you could simply put up a different theme until you get that one restored.

    Always test on a test domain (could be a sub-domain) before applying any changes on your real website.

    made a rollback is not the best way sometimes, especially when something has been modified.

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gallery_shortcode() (previously declared in etc etc

    if you got another error like that, just see the "etc etc" section and you will see where are these functions being called in both files, then, comment or delete it in one of them.

    xD!
