SOLVED Flashing stock with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2289325
After a couple hours of searching I haven't had any luck fixing what i've mistakenly done to my phone.
I made a new account and am first posting because I am at witts end.
The status of my phone is-
it will not boot.
It hangs at the Samsung Custom screen.
I can only get into download mode.
When I try to boot into recovery the blue text top left says it's booting but it doesn't boot into recovery.
I suspect I corrupted my recovery somehow.
I've tried flashing different kernels with odin and the few that ive tried successfully flash but same thing still happens.
I think I need a CWM recovery or TWRP recovery that I can flash with odin? Is that a thing?
Any point in the right direction would greatly be appreciated.

You can try that I don't know if it'll work in download/odin.
I suggest just flashing the stock update via odin and re root..

Those files do not work with ODIN.
I dont have a stock update file to flash with odin nor have I been able to find any for download.
The mdk stock firmware file is located in the dev section, flashable via odin.

This is the MDK image that will take you back to bone stock, out-of-the-box. Just open ODIN, put the phone in download mode, put this file in PDA only section, and you're golden.

Downloading and flashing now.
You all were very helpful!
Phew!!! Solved.

It's nice to have my phone back , I was getting really worried there for a bit..
I had TWRP and CleanRom Running just fine but after a few mods and a reboot it hung on me.
I wonder if anyone is aware of these issues or if I'm just 'special' Hmmm
I really wanted to have a LIGHT TouchWiz rom that I can add mods to myself.
Any suggestions?
I have lost Safestrap and my rom will not load. I still have root but am stuck on the Samsung custom screen. Can anyone please point me in the direction to flash a good rom and unbrick my phone. Thank you for any pointers.

I flashed a rom that didn't take so I used twrp to factory reset witch I think wiped ss. I then rebooted my phone but ss never loads and neither does the rom. I had a feeling I was going to have to use odin, doing some reserch now, never had to use it before. can I just flash a custom rom using odin then reinstall ss? Thank you for your help.

Oh, like I said never had to use it before. So I'm guessing I have to flash stock everything and probably loose root also huh Thanks for the info, you saved me a lot of reading

You know, Ive been following the thread about HD12 for the last couple days and it looks really sweet
but I didnt want to update to MJ7. I guess I might as well know. Thanks for the info
My fear is I am SOL... Anyway, was running the GPE, and wanted to go back to HD14... Made the mistake of formatting data via TWRP, and now I am borked.
So...From reading basically figured out I need to ODIN back to sock MDK, and factor reset via stock recovery. Here's my problem...
I downloaded the wilco stock MDK TAR, and then went to flash it in odin 3.07... I am able to get in to download mode, so I think Boom! Great I am on my way... Not so much...
I go to flash the TAR, I get FAILED on odin screen, but now my phone in the top left corner says "Start" in red, and I have a little progress bar under "Do not turn off target" warning.
Am I totally screwed? Does anyone have a link to an official MDK odin file?
Thanks...

Please walk me through what I need to do and point me to a good touchwhiz ROM thank you all.
Can somebody please help?
Can you Odin BTS? (Back to Stock) and reroot that way? I just recently went back n had root and installed TW within 45 for the whole process. i do recommend the MDK full wipe one as you have to go into stock recovery and factory data reset anyway.

There is no "best" you'll have to try em out and see which one you prefer.
I'd suggest Hyperdrive or maybe check out of the ROMs Gogolie has ported over.
I'm not really a TW guy myself but have flashed quite afew of them just to see.

/http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-sch-i545_mdk_562219_stock_restore-zip/. also there is a no wipe .tar file around, but i found you still have to go into stock recovery and hit factory data reset which ends up deleting your info that the full wipe does.

Need more details, what bootloader are you currently on? Looks like if you need a stock ODIN image for your corresponding bootloader.

SS 3.72 is a recovery, but if you're on NC5, NG6 or something you can take a look at this thread and use ODIN to flash the stock image.
