Any help would be appreciated. Just need the stock .img file to flash. I've tried flashing all versions of TWRP and it ends up bootlooping and getting stuck in Download Mode. I'd like to put the stock recovery back on for now until I find something that works.
Thanks!

If you're on MDK, use the link for MDK. Otherwise use one under the "Information" part of the post. (A Full-Wipe tar will remove all personal data from your phone.)
If you're not on MDK you will probably never be able to flash TWRP.
Safestrap is an option, but only allows TouzhWiz-based roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441
Thanks. Any way of pulling just the stock recovery .img and flashing it thru Flashify, or do I have to download the entire stock rom and do the no-wipe thru Odin? Reason I ask is because the phone works fine, just the recovery is borked if I try to boot into it.

You're on the MK2 build/bootloader, can boot into the android, but can't boot into recovery? That seems unusual to me (would have expected you to be forced into download mode), but I'm not an expert on it.
I don't have an MK2 device, but I would imagine @Surge1223 probably has an MK2 recovery .img

Yeah it's odd. After trying to flash the recovery, it did get stuck forcing me into download mode. But by pulling the battery then manually booting into Download mode (Vol-Down, Home, Power) I'm able to get to the warning screen about Custom OS's and press Vol-Down to cancel. This boots into Android and fixes the issue. Reboots work fine, but if I try to boot into recovery it forces me into Download mode again. It's really odd. I might just take the plunge and do Surge1223's full wipe tomorrow. I've already gone thru and backed everything up to my PC.
Thanks for the help.

I updated my phone to me7 and I followed a root procedure. After I used goo manager to install twrp and clicked reboot recovery but when it rebooted it went into downloading mode and won't let me boot normally! It says on the top could not do normal boot. Please help!!!
Yeah mine is doing the same thing. Not really sure what's going on, heh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
**EDIT**
Nevermind...now when I reboot it goes into the OS like normal. Thanks again, man.
You cant install a custom recovery on the me7 ota. Theres a ton of posts on this already. To get past that turn your phone off and use the button combo for booting into odin(vol down + power). Itll ask if you want to proceed or cancel, hit cancel and your phone will boot. To fix you will either need to flash a stock recovery or use odin and reflash me7.

This got me back into the phone but now I'll have to reflash the stock img via ODIN?
Anywhere I can find the stock recovery?

Alright, so this isn't THAT big a deal (I think). But I can't access recovery. I rooted my S4 using the Vroot method and attempted to use goo manager to install a custom recovery(yeah, locked bootloader, yadayada). But, I can't access recovery any more. I can boot up just fine, but trying to boot recovery brings me to download/odin mode. Can I just odin the stock recovery back on if I want?

You lost it because you tried overwriting it. No you cant but you can odin an mj7 image. I believe theres a no wipe version so you can keep your data.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

Can I still take OTA updates, or if we finally crack the bootloader, flash safestrap or cwm?
Long story short, I was trying to install safestrap. Flashed the files, now the phone won't boot into ANY recovery, only goes into download mode. Upon first boot of a flash, it gets to the verizon screen then turns off and does nothing

No worries, if you can go to download mode, just odin restore back to nc5 or mk2.
- download odin software
- download nc5
- flash nc5
- boom!
some of the real garoos on here may have better ideas but if nothing else, you should be able to Odin the stock firmware back onto your phone and start over. Do you know which stock firmware release you were on before you started?

What file did you flash?
I am currently on MJ4 jellybean (rooted) and I want to upgrade to NC5 for the wifi calling. Can I simply use odin V3.09 and install this tar and be done?
Download Android 4.4.2 NC5 Firmware for Sprint Note 3 SM-N900P [LATEST][Wifi-Calling]
Does this keep root or will I have to unroot my phone again after running this tar in odin?
If this is incorrect, can someone please tell me how to upgrade to NC5 from Mj4??? Thanks.

Here is 1 method : [HOW-TO] Update to 4.4.2 NAB & NC5 w/Root from MJ4 Rooted without triggering Knox 0x1

Well, I tried to install recovery first using the TWRP Manager app and when I choose reboot into recovery it will start to reboot and when it says "set Warranty Bit: recovery" (in yellow), it will not do anything. I then downloaded the 2.8 recovery tar file and tried to install it in odin and when I reboot into recovery it will get to the ""set Warranty Bit: recovery" (in yellow and still not do anything. The only way I can reboot my phone from there is to pull the battery, hold the power down, power and home button, then choose reboot phone.
How do I fix this problem??

So you Odin'd to NAB and took OTA to NC5 or did you go right to NH7?
In any event after Odin'g to stock reboot your phone and let it load 100% stock
Then put SuperSU214.zip to your SD Card
turn the phone off
boot to download mode
Odin Philz Recovery (I prefer that sorry)
don't auto reboot.
when its finished and passed, hold the boot to recovery buttons - the phone will reboot into recovery
flash the supersu214.zip (for root)
reboot phone and let it boot
you now have stock root
good luck

No, the only thing I have done was try to update TWRP from 2.6.3.7 to TWRP 2.8.......for some reason when I try and update the recovery it will not go into recovery, it simply does nothing after the ""set Warranty Bit: recovery" (in yellow) is displayed.
Do I need to update my TWRP recovery or can I just flash the stock NH7 tar in 3.07 odin?
Can I flash the N900PSPTDNH7 tar file in odin 3.07 with my TWRP 2.6.3.7 recovery and be OK???

Ah, you can't use the newer recoveries with older firmware/bootloader.
You'll have to just odin NH7, follow the steps I gave you and you'll be back at stock rooted.
It will be a good idea to wipe factory reset though, after booting 100% stock, boot to stock recovery and do that then turn the phone off and start the process of putting NH7 (you really should start 100% fresh because you're moving up 3 upgrades)

yw, glad to hear that!
I just got myself a note 3 for sprint, and it had the OC5 Lollipop update on it. I flashed CF-Auto-Root on it, and it booted up fine. Used it for a bit, and then I tried putting TWRP on to flash Xposed Framework. TWRP flashed fine, and worked fine, but now the phone will not boot into the stock rooted rom. I have tried flashing the factory image again, that didn't fix it. Even tried flashing a kitkat factory image, and that didn't work either. The only way i can get the phone to boot into the OS is if i run a custom kitkat rom, and then everything seems to work fine. So where can i go from here to get the factory lollipop rooted with a custom recovery working?

I'd say go back to NK4 and then accept the update to OC5 and root.
You'll need these files, please thank the OPs of the threads.
NK4 tar from [Odin] Mirrors for Official Samsung Tars for MJ4, NAB, NC5, NH7 & NK4
twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar from TWRP hltespr page
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from [STABLE][2015.02.13] SuperSU v2.46
Copy SuperSU zip file to your sdcard.
boot to recovery and factory reset, wipe partition cache and dalvik cache.
Then power the phone off from recovery.
Boot to download mode Volume Down + Home + Power ... then Volume Up.
(from the OFF state, booting into download mode from a ROM or recovery never works correctly when using odin)
Using Odin 3.09 flash NK4 tar, let it reboot, it will take it a while to start the first time.
when the phone restarts, unplug the usb cable.
you can skip all the setup stuff and then get the ota to get back to OC5; Settings, System Update, Firmware Update
once ota is completely done, power the phone off
go into download mode
odin the twrp tar (uncheck everything in odin)
once odin says pass unplug the usb cable and press Volume Up + Home + Power until the phone vibrates and you see the blue writing - this will get you into recovery w/o having to pull the battery.
flash the SuperSU zip file.
reboot to system, you should be on OC5 stock rooted.

Thanks! I actually got it working before i saw this by flashing the TWRP backup that someone posted on here, but i may try doing this to see if i can get xposed working with it, because it still isn't for me.
Not working
Everything working for me except when I flash twrp, it says pass, then comes to "android" recovery screen, so I can flash susuperuser
