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.

Hey Guys,
So I was running the google experience rom v3 and I decided to head on over to another rom but forgot to wipe before hand and my phone got a little wonky. I eventually ended up doing a complete Odin factory flash which brought me right back to VRUAMDK, when I went to install the OTA update to VRUAME7 my phone would reboot but would not apply and changes and I would get a notification telling me I cant update. I used an Odin flash to the VRUAME7 stock rom and that worked but for some reason I cant flash any sort of recovery now. Booting into recovery just brings me to download mode. I've tried flashing a recovery with Odin with failures on the write. Did I seriously F&#$ up my Nand? I just want to be able to run a recovery and have my GE S4 back Any help would be majorly appreciated.

The VRUAME7 firmware patched the Loki exploit and therefore you can not install a custom recovery. Right now all you can do is root the device also there is no way to go back to the VRUAMDK firmware.

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?

You can flash a no-wipe NC5 factory ROM image using Odin. Look in the Android Development forum for the thread with that info.
If that doesn't work, flash a full-wipe NC5.
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

Yes.
Download the factory odin tar
Copy file to sdcard/phone
Do factory reset from recovery, don't reboot the phone
Power down from recovery
Boot into download mode and flash with Odin..
That worked for me from 5.1.1 to 5.0. I think it'd work for going to kk also.
Good luck

Thanks VoiD_Dweller, I was hesitant at first but I did it, after a factory reset from recovery straight back to download mode, downgraded using Odin from 5.1.1 to 5.0 then I did a factory reset again from recovery back to download mode and this time I went all the way back and downgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 NE6 Stock Firmware so I can root without triggering KNOX (0x0) using Towelroot, everything went very smoothly, to avoid getting stuck on boot or getting error messages never setup the phone after each downgrade until you get to your desired firmware.

Excellent.. Glad it worked. I made the mistake of ota updating after I just got this unit and hadn't realized it wasn't rootable until afterwards. Took a few attempts. Glad I'm back to 5.0.. Gotta be able to use root apps or I'd go nuts.
