So I rooted my GS4 with NC5 using the newly discovered towrelroot apk. I have since changed my mind and want to go back to complete stock. I went to sammobile.com and downloaded the full NC5 update and Odin 3.09 and followed the steps there and it said PASS. I have lost root but when I do vol down + home + power it still goes into the Odin recovery not the stock. How can I get the stock recovery back? Please help!!!!

That root did not effect the recovery. That is the stock recovery.

But it says Odin on the screen....

That button combo is to put the phone into download mode aka Odin mode. If you want recovery mode then volume up + power it'll vibrate then in the top left display recovery mode in blue letters let go of power button. It happens quickly sometimes so be ready to let go of power button. Once in on the top it'll say Android recovery . Don't panic if you see the green android before the recovery; that's normal

I cant seem to boot into recovery by holding both volume buttons and pressing power. I can get into it with "adb reboot recovery", or with quick boot or rom manager (but i current dont have root, so thats not an option).
But when i just try to turn the phone off and boot into recovery manually it just boots into android every time.
Try holding all three buttons until the sammy logo appears. Then release power button only.
Edit: Also try volume up ( or down...can't remember) , power, and home soft key.
And you prolly shoulda posted this in q&a section bud. Try to keep the forums clean and less cluttered.

Ive tried that repeatedly. Maybe im releasing the power button too late. But it just goes into the boot animation regardless.

Im at stock right now, no root at all. I had a semi-brick and had to odin stock DI01 all in one and then use the OTA to go to ea28. I then used odin to flash the DL05/DL09 recovery file. but i dont have root so i cant boot to recovery from the OS and i cant just manually go into it (at least it hasnt worked so far). The only way i can get into recovery is to issue "adb reboot recovery", but the OS has to be booted to use adb, and from my understanding you cant go into the OS before flashing the update zip. When i tried it failed about halfway through.
There is a all in one pack for odin on adroidcentral.com that has the corrwct clockwork recovery, is prerooted, and is froyo with superclean. Id go with that bud.

+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.

I just rooted for the sake of knowing how to root my phone when I get it back from Samsung. How do I make sure that the phone is fully stock? Do I go into supersu and then settings then clean and unroot? And then after that do a restore?

Yes, download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 After that, power off the phone. The press volume up, the menu button and the power button at the same time to get into stock recovery, then factory restore from there. Follow the directions on that link and you should be ok.

Hey everyone, brand new here
Recently, I tried to enter recovery mode so I could flash cyanogenmod, but when I try to get to recovery mode it takes me to odin mode and at the top left it says "could not do normal boot." I can still get back to home screen by restarting the phone, but I really want to get cyanogenmod. I provided a screen shot of my phone info If anyone needs it. Thanks

You have a MK2 build. No custom recovery, no CM, no AOSP. Only Safestrap. Do a little research before you brick your phone.

Help please my stupid phone will not go into recovery it goes straight into download mode when holding the buttons combination. And there is a message in orange reddish color that states "unable to boot normally"
This occurred after I tried to Odin flash the engineering NAB bootloader as I was already on NAB from the OTA I could not get twrp to work after flashing it using odin so I thought that I would try the engineering bootloader and then try to odin twrp again and I was unsuccessful and since then my phone will not go into recovery at all I see the blue letters come on the screen and it immediately goes into download mode.. any help would be appreciated. The phone does boot and I am able to use it like normal I just can't flash anything and can't get into recovery.

Download the Stock Nab file from freeza and flash that via Odin and get your phone back up then I will help you with the next steps.

Yes I have this downloaded on my computer already. . This I did not try but I will. . So you think this will help me return to fully stock and be able to go into recovery?

Thing is you have to restart with that file...then you have to root to enable you to flash a recovery....if you go back to that file and get up and running we know you have a clean start.
Flash the right recovery in Odin ... uncheck auto reboot. .. or before it reboots hold vol up home and power. ... The rom will restore stock recovery if you don't stop it

Try ROM manger or ROM toolkit apps. They will reboot you into recovery if you have one installed.
Photon Q &/or Note 3 on ting.com
If your phone is rooted. Download quick boot in the play store. Open choose recovery grant SU and it should take you into recovery.
