I don't know if recreating the geth is possible. With the death of every single geth platform, or even a significant amount of them, they would lose consensus, and thus, be destroyed. Their gestalt conscience has been annihilated; there is no getting that back. It's like a human being. Once they die, they're dead. They can't simply recreate their memories, experiences, and even personalities. They could create another sentient race of networked AI (not sure why the quarians would want to do that twice), but they would never truly be the geth.
