ATT S4 Yellow Triangle Recovery and Rom

Hello,
After successfully rooting my S4 and installing 4.3.3 I wound up screwing things up and now have the yellow triangle of death when I try to get back into recovery or boot the rom.
The only thing I seem to be able to do successfully now is get back to download mode.
Trying to flash a new recovery via odin results in a nand write failure. I've tried philz, clockwork and twrp, all do the same thing.
Since I can't boot the rom there's no way to use an adb based utility like casual, which is what I had used to originally root.
From what I can find it doesn't appear there are any odin flashable versions of the loki utility.
Any help with ideas on what to try next appreciated.
Thanks for any help

Tried flashing a stock rom with Odin, data factory reset and reroot?

Failed To Verify Whole-File Signature Error (Stock ROM)

My phone recently soft bricked. TouchWiz became unresponsive and then I restarted my phone using the power button.
My phone then proceeds into a bootloop, which I presume is a soft bricked based from reading around.
What I did was downloaded Odin 3.09 then downloaded my stock ROM from sam mobile. After the copying files it went to recovery boot, and then gave me that error when updating.
I also tried flashing stock ROMs that were dated before the month I purchased my phone. No luck
I tried flashing CM 11. CF auto root, and then CWM, CM 11 then GAPPS, when I rebooted it went directly to Download Mode and it said "Could not do normal boot" at the top.
Need help on this please. I don't have any alternate phones. :/
Much appreciated.

[Q] Please help me fix my phone. Bricked?

My Sprint Note 3 has been out of commission for over 24 hours now, and I have resorted to begging you fine people for help.
I've been rooted running the unofficial cyanogenmod lollipop rom for awhile now, and yesterday I decided to flash back to the stock recovery/rom due to some issues with my network.
When I try to use odin to flash CF-autoroot it fails at writing the cache, on my phone it says "unsupport dev_type"
When I try to use odin to flash the stock recovery/rom "N900PVPUBMI3_N900PSPTBMI3_N900PVPUBMI3_HOME.tar" odin fails at "aboot.mbn"
I can't boot to recovery because i get a message that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
I obviously have no idea what im doing. Any ideas?

Search(and learn) about Odin(its thing for samsung devices) with it you should be able to restore you tab.

Thanks for the advice. I will try Odin to flash a new rom

I have tried using odin to flash the stock rom but it failed and said Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue and turned off. I now cannot turn the device on please help me
Edit: I charged it up fully and tried again. It now works.

Unroot Failure

hello fellow users, Im in desperate need of assistance, I been trying to restore/update my phone to the latest or using odin 3.12 but everytime I put the .Md5 on the AP section it says passed phone reboot to recovery I get a screen with a circle that says erasing, then I get into recovery to be greeted with this :
no Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3
dm-verity error...
I tried using the same buid QC1 and even the latest QF6, with the same results, Im tryin to start fresh I was rooted but I had massive battery drain and phone getting hot without use, so I been trying to restore without luck... anyone out here that can shed some light?

If you are using the "official" odin, try switching to the comey version (there should be download link in the rooting thread). Make sure you are downloading the correct firmware. If that doesn't work, you can load up smartswitch and click "Emergency Firmware Reinstall" or something along that line.
