What build are you on? You could try getting back into odin mode by taking out the batttey for 30 seconds then pressing home volume down and power until odin mode pops up. What Safesrtap were you using?

i was on 3.71, i have the apk on my sd card, the difference between him and me is i didn't install anything, just wiped the stock rom and didn't flash anything over it, i thought i would be able to get back into safestrap, i guess not. any way i can flash a stock mk2 image through odin or flash the backup i made through safestrap with odin?

I was on MK2 and I download safestrap beta 3.65. I then rebooted into recovery and tested creating a rom slot which worked. I then tested the reboot to recovery and then the safestrap splash menu came up, and then black screen. I tried to Odin back to MJ7 but it failed. So pulled the battery, powered on and now I am at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue".... ??

not sure what to say but I don't think SS 3.65 is compatible with 4.3 base systems which MDK2 and MJ7 both are. Were you trying the beta version that hash is developing?? As for the odin issue, I'm not sure about what you have encountered....did you use the stock MJ7 image file??

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.
When I first got my second GS4 (about 6 months ago) I rushed to root it and install a recovery (forgetting that the MK2 build has a locked bootloader) I attempted to flash CWM with ODIN and now if I boot to recovery it goes straight to the ODIN Downloading screen. The phone is still fully functional other than the recovery and it is rooted. Since screwing it up I've been looking for a way to fix this I know that i should have used the LOKI method to flash CWM. Is this something that i could fix by flashing stock firmware? or am I out of luck? Thanks.

If your phone is NOT mdk base...you can not use loki or goo manager or rom manager or twrp. Safestrap only can be used. To clean up the mess mostly requires odin of the clean image of your firmware mk2.

Thanks Tulsadiver I'll give that method a try ... and Thanks to decaturbob for the warning about LOKI, I must have missed that when I was reading over the thread ... I probably would have screwed up my phone again.

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
and this one
[Stock ROM] Odin flashable N900PSPTDNH7 (says NH7 but it has the older tars as well)

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)

Hi, I was using safestrap to install a new rom. I wiped data/cache/factory reset, I also wiped the system which I guess left me with no operating system. When I flashed ROM it failed and when phone rebooted it cant load past samsung logo.
phone is Galaxy s4 verizon 4.4.2 SCH-I545 build number NG6. has stock recovery...
How can I get it back to normal?
I need advice ASAP as I use my phone for work.
