Long story short I deleted and wiped my entire system rom and partition in safestrap and didn't install a new OS before rebooting
Now my phone will not enter safestrap to allow me to install a new rom
I cannot flash stock rom through odin as I get a Fail: Auth error
I cannot find a serial number that works with kies to do a firmware upgrade
And using ADB to sideload gives me an error: "Could not read sideload"
So what options do I have left to fix this mess?

I will say that is a laundry list of issues.. I learn to fix things as tbey come and I have not yet had to odin my s4... I would recommend reading through the safestrap in both general and development and pm someone who states they have used odin successfully for help.. if by chance and heaven forbid I need to utilize odin I will respond again.. I am sorry I couldnt be helpful, good luck.

Yea, I gave it to my rooting expert friend and he fixed after like 6 hours. Said that I had write protection enabled and therefore I couldn't flash anything that wasnt digitally signed by verizon so he fixed that then flashed the stock rom again. Its running again and thats all I care about thanks guys

Can you ask your friend how he bypassed the digital signature?
And this might be a huge favor but, can you ask him if he can bypass the MF3 signature?

He didn't bypass the signature, he just installed the proper stock ROM. Or that's the most likely thing to have done.
If he's able to bypass the signature, he could collect the bootloader bounty.

I just got this in the mail today. Does anyone have any insights on how to unlock the bootloader and inject root? I had assumed 'fastboot' would work, but this has ODIN. I'm sure I could follow the steps on the original S4, but I don't know what the downstream effects will be.
Thanks!

Ok, just got done rooting my gs4 vzw dev edition. It was really pretty simple.
Steps from my win8 laptop were...
Install samsung drivers,
get adb working (android sdk doesn't seem to work on win8.. but just the adb files are all you need, google adb platform-tools or just use win7)
dl and push your superuser zip to the sdcard or external sdcard
dl odin 3.07 and extract to pc
dl and make tar.md5 of your favorite recovery. ( i personally like cwm )
Then all I did was... reboot phone in to odin mode... while phone is powered off, hold vol down + power
Start odin.exe
uncheck auto-reboot
click pda button, select the recovery file.md5
press start and let it finish, only takes a few secs...
once done.. reboot in to recovery, and flash the superuser.zip u pushed over to it.
Vol up + power to boot in to recovery. for me i just booted the phone normally... used "adb reboot recovery" then flashed superuser.zip.
reboot your phone and done.
good idea to make a backup while ur in recovery
If someone has hosting, i can send the files needed.

Okay, so I couldn't wait!
I followed the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 and was able to gain root access.
I have yet to take the plunge on a custom recovery, but I'm sure I'll do that soon.
Additionally, the boot screen now has a picture of an "unlocked" lock, and the words "Samsung" "Custom". I guess they know that this has been flashed.

Mine comes tomorrow or Monday. So, despite it being unlocked, you still had to go thru that kernel replacement root method? Hmmm. I would have thought there would have been an easier way, no?

I ended up doing the same as you and had to do all the steps too in order for it to work. Now I keep getting a warning message "this device has detected an unauthorized attempt..." trying to get me to reboot though.

And I also bought my phone and ordered it for next day shipping, so worth it!

The boot message you see when you power on your device means your device is rooted. I have the same exact thing when I rooted mine. I got mine from a Verizon store.

Sorry to hear about your problem. I've had friends who've this has happened to. What you have to do is, you have to start over. This link will be helpful. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209 and use the no-wipe version (unless if you don't care about your data). Then, Unlock your bootloader and try to re-install CMW. If you need help this video is very helpful:

The easiest way to get your phone back to normal is to put it into download mode. You should have Verizon software upgrade assistant on your computer, if you don't, just connect your phone on your computer and wait for it to be installed, Eventually you will see something that say Verizon software upgrade assistant. If you do just disregard this part. Go on repair mode and click repair. Let it do its magic and your phones back to normal. It will wipe all your data though. But its better than having a soft brick phone.:good::good:
Download the stock NC5.tar and Odin back to stock.

Though years later, I want to thank this poster for the answer that solved my VZW not authorized block [when I accidentally loaded a bad kernel] message and allowed me to get my old favorite phone, with many custom ROMs active again so I could get the great S4 active again to try to convince my un-tech spouse to try something besides a a LG 8600 flip, great phone that it is.
Thank you! After many other solutions, the solution.
So, I have to move back into my S4, due to my current phone dying. I went and downloaded and flashed the latest TWRP in-app, rebooted to recovery, and got the same message as the OP. I'm on MDF, rooted, running hyperdrive, so that isn't the problem. Any ideas?

Did you Loki the recovery? I had to move some files that Loki needed to one of the system root directories before I could install clockwork mod recovery.

I know I need to use Odin to get back but I don't know how to use it to replace the boot loader.

I have a stock rooted GS4 from Verizon, the USB debugging is on. I have ROM Manager Premium v5.5.3.7 as well as Titanium backup which works fine. I used Towelroot to root it and it seems to have done its job correctly. I have both Clockworkmod touch and the standard Clockworkmod recovery to work with, both seem to do the same thing.
In ROM Manager I can brows ROMs and look for stuff but when I tap to backup the ROM I get the name dialog hit ok and it just goes reboots to the recovery.
Anyone gotten around this?

How do I flash in ODIN? Just the same place as the NC5, under AP?
EDIT: Okay so not in ODIN. Like I said, I know nothing about Samsung devices. Seeing as how it is a .zip file I assume I need to flash it in a recovery on the phone. I jumped to conclusions with the wifi fix so I am now going to actually look up the proper way to apply it.

Is safestrap just the stock recovery or is it a custom like TWRP or CWM? And another thing, whenever flash an old firmware so I can root, it doesn't seem to actually change. I'm still at NK4 every time I change it. You know what I'm doing wrong? I've looked into a few different posts nothing is working. I've tried towelroot and Kingo.
And I suppose I should actually address your reply instead of just going on a tangent, I did and it put the phone in a bootloop and I have yet to address that. I just reflashed NK1 deal with it for the moment.

That is the thread I've been looking at most actually. But I just can't catch a break. Every time I try to download the files I want, my G3 fails instantly and my friends Wi-Fi just won't download at all. I think I now know an even better reason to why I've never bothered getting a Samsung haha.
