+1 on this.
A factory wipe/reset from the standard 3e recovery did it for me. I found no other way.
I am unable to get into recovery but I do have download mode and can use odin...... I could fix the issue easily if I had root but I don't know how to root UCLC2 or UCLD5

Then flash a firmware with Odin you know how to root. Or better yet flash entropy512's stock plus root package.
By the way you should be able to get into recovery by holding down volume up + volume down + power button - do not let go off any buttons until you see the recovery menu - the bout splash screen will flash at least twice before recovery comes up.

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4. Today I rooted it. It all went fine, but I wanted to install a custom recovery. I followed a tutorial online, which lead me to downloading the Goo manager, and installing TWRP via that. I rebooted, and it went straight into download mode. It would not leave download mode, it continuously loops back to that. I connected it up to Odin, and downloaded the stock firmware to flash. The progress bar came up, loaded for a few minutes. Then, I got a big FAIL message. (Using 3.04). Now, its still in DL mode, but it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Tried flashing the stock firmware again, but keeps failing. Tried different USB ports, but keeps failing. Any suggestions?
Try flashing another recovery via odin

Can't find a tar file flashable via Odin. All I can find is the Loki method, which I cannot do because I'm stuck in DL mode. Waiting on a download of a different stock firmware.
Dont think there is any recoveries flashable via odin. Were you on me7 by chance?

Nope.
Turn your phone all the way off and then use the button combo for odin, decline and it should boot. DoubleCheck your firmware version because what youre describing is what happens when you flash a recovery on me7, which you cant.

PS: Thank you so much for sticking with me so far
Not a problem. Yep youre on the me7 firmware like I thought. Im guessing your trying to flash the mdk firmware thru odin? Me7 wont let you flash anything prior is why youre getting the errors. Youll have to download the me7 odin file (in dev section) and flash again. Once you get your phone booted again you cant flash a custom recovery or else itll do the same again. Theres a few people working on unlocking/bypassing the bootloader so hopefully it wont be much longer until me7 has custom recovery.

Coming from HTC so this is a little different for me..I did search these out, just want to be sure.. First, will qbkings method still work since it was done on the first version for this phone and its now on MJ4? For TWRP, when you flash a new rom, what are you wiping, Factory, System, and internal or just system? Any other advice is appreciated, just don't want to screw crap up... Thanks

I used cf-auto root on my phone. It trips Knox but I didn't care about that. You can find it in the original development forum.
As far as what to wipe for a custom ROM just read the first few posts of the ROM you are looking at and the Devs will be very specific as to the steps needed to avoid potential issues.
All the Devs here are very helpful if you have any issues as well.
Hope that helps.

Welcome to the community, bro.
Here's a starter set of instructions, followed by a backup set if you get stuck. [Make sure that you are on MJ4 prior to doing this.]
---------STARTER STEPS
1. Download TWRP (tar/odin flashable) from teamw.in (V2.6.3.7)
2. Download and install Samsung drivers for mobile phones (you may already have these installed)
3. Download Odin V3.07 (you may already have this too, link takes you to what appears to be a master thread for Odin)
See this post for a nice visual and comments, pic and thread provided by a fine gentleman that has about the coolest user name I've seen on any forum
At this point you can decide whether or not you want simply stock rooted, which TWRP can give you without flashing anything, or if you want to install a basic stock rooted rom, kindly provided by @freeza, can select DeOdex or Odex, thread here
4. Download MJ4 DeOdex or Odex and place it on your phone
5. Power off your phone
6. Put your phone into Download Mode (voldown+home+power)
7. Flash TWRP with Odin and boot into it once done (volup+home if Odin auto reboots your phone or volup+home+power if it's off)
8. If you decided to simply go stock rooted, then go to reboot>system and TWRP will ask if you want root, if not, then proceed to flash MJ4 DeOdex or Odex
9. Profit
---------PLAN B IF ABOVE FAILS YOU
[Some just can't get Odin to play nice with the TWRP tar, don't know why.]
1. Follow QBKing77 video and install root using CF method, thread here
2. Download img file for TWRP from Team Win site, flash using app from Play Store called Flashify
3. Flash recovery
4. Follow the rest of the outlined under the heading "Starter Steps"
---------AFTERTHOUGHTS...
Once successful, go into TWRP, backup only your EFS, then separately, backup boot, system, and data. Throw your EFS backup on your PC and Dropbox in case of emergency (hopefully you won't need it).
Pick a rom you like, and start fiddling. Support the devs, have a blast.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Yeah, it is. But there's a reason I layed the steps out so broadly and specifically; half of that was given to me (the stuff above the Plan B line) by one whom knows far more than most, and I still had to do the stuff for which I hadn't planned. Worse, I got stuck at that horrifying yellow Sprint logo, with no bootup. I pulled my SD card and the battery, powered up again, and I only then had success. Most have no issues, but thankfully enough have that there were similar experiences conveyed across these forums.
I really hope that you have a trouble free experience.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
Worked like a charm, thanks again Mic. They only thing I can't do though is how do you get to TWRP from reboot, I can do it from goomanager but I would think I could power down the phone, press the three buttons and it would take me there.

Download the small zip in this thread, choosing Odex or DeOdex,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486526
Go into TWRP the way you've described, flash the zip, and you'll have a 4-in-1 reboot menu. After it installs, hard press the power key, and when you select reboot, you'll get other options (recovery, &c).
Good luck!

You need to re flash twrp in Odin to get your recovery back and there is a file out there that you can flash in twrp that should square you back to factory. I believe @micmars has helped with this issue before. Perhaps he remembers the thread in which he found it the first time? I will search and try to post you a link.

Hey guys. So thanks to Micmars I was able to break myself out of a terrible boot loop. The only real solution at the time was to use an exe file to push me into the NAB update. My goal was to then to go ahead and push a custom recovery and use SuperSU to root the device, followed by installing NABD. Problem is that it seems that the current stock recovery is unable to flash any of these updates. The broken android comes up when I enter stock recovery. Flashing a custom recovery fails as well.
Here are my goals:
1. Root
2. Flash TWRP
3. Install one of the latest and greatest custom ROM.
I need your help fellas. Any help is greatly appreciated and big shutout to Micmars for saving me from bricking my phone.

Now which recovery are you referring to? Is it the stock? I have tried multiple times with Odin to flash the stock recovery but it won't because it already has the NAB recovery installed and its not letting it do anything else because its saying that the operating system has been modified. so it's basically trying to box with me a bit.

Why are you trying to flash stock recovery? ?? It already has stock unless you flashed twrp or philz
Go get the NAB tar file and flash back to Stock and then do what you want .... root with chain fire cf auto root for 9005 ... international note 3 ... Then flash twrp the newest is 2.7 ...

[Unzip to your PC, run Odin as administrator, shut down your phone, put phone in download mode (volume down + home + power, then volume up to confirm), load TWRP tar into PDA slot, plug phone into PC using same USB port as one you've used before, keep automatically restart checked in Odin, hold phone in palm of your hand, get ready to hold volume up + home, hit start on PC Odin, hit start on PC Odin, when file finishes flashing, hit those buttons quickly, since the recovery file flashes in like 5-10 seconds, your now in recovery.]
5. Inject root,
Tap install from the TWRP, navigate to the location on your phone you put that superuser file, flick the knob, reboot.
You are now rooted with custom recovery.
From here, the world is your own. Lots of roms from which to choose, I recommend looking around the dev forums, you'll find something that's right for you. Might want to start with a TouchWiz rom, just because they are built from stock and they'll function as you'd expect. Try AOSP if you like, but those roms tend to take a bit more diligence on your end. No problem with that, but this will get you started with the least effort.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
Follow the OP instructions prior to flashing.

Now which recovery are you referring to? Is it the stock? I have tried multiple times with Odin to flash the stock recovery but it won't because it already has the NAB recovery installed and its not letting it do anything else because its saying that the operating system has been modified. so it's basically trying to box with me a bit.

So NAB is stock essentially? Why am I constantly having warnings of modification and app crashes constantly.
Further the current recovery is broken. You know, the beat up droid on the ground. It won't allow me to install root. Is it possible I need an older root request?
TWRP 2.07 don't flash through Odin. We'll get it though. Let's keep at it.

Micmars! How good to see you again you old chap. Obviously since we last spoke I haven't had much progress. You really helped me getting to this point. We built a whole thread together and saved me $150 in insurance money to get me out of the brick. I don't have a computer on me but I've certainly tried a lot. If stick recovery is simply broken, how do I get of this mess?
I'm confident we'll have that new ROM in no time.

This is the message that keeps popping up on my screen. I also have an icon up top with a triang. I feel as though if I were running stock and if I've gone back to the original state of the phone it should
not have this message. I am I correct?

Dude, those are standard Knox notifications. If you have successfully rooted your device, just get rid of the damn things. Install freeza's Knox-free Stockish DeOdex or Odex NABD rom and be done with it.

That's just the problem. The stock recovery seems to be broken and I can not actively flash TWRP to the device neither clockworkmod. That's why I'm having the current problem. I can't do anything without having root obviously.

My friend, I'm at a loss. There's really nothing I can go at this point. Broken stock recovery makes no sense to me, but that doesn't mean it's not possible.
Flashing working recovery that is custom would replace a stock recovery, working or not. At least one could speculate.
You obviously need to install root.
Go hit the qbking77 video on rooting this device and follow the instructions.
