As 123hiten said, flash back to stock and build up. That's super strange though. I was able to flash back from 4.3 back to 4.2 no problem.

you have made alterations to your phone so its not longer stock. the file you are flashing is for a stock rom and to be flashed in a stock recovery. to flash the update simply re-flash a stock recovery and allow the update to go through. you can also simply wait and flash an updated custom stock rom.
Edit: link deleted....may confuse you
Edit2: Using the toolkits you should be able to find the stock recovery image and flash it back

[Q] Help with installing Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery

Hi guys
Really struggling to find the Stock Kernel for my Note 3 and how to flash.
From what i've read on other forums, everyone seems to say you just flash stock ROM via Odin however this has proven not to be the case when i have flashed.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

so what your saying is that you tried to flash the stock firmware via ODIN and the kernel did not revert back to stock kernel ?

Yes that's exactly right. to check if it was a one off i'm currently flashing stock ROM again via Odin as we speak.
it should work that way but if it still doesn't work, go into recovery and WIPE all and then reflash Stock.. that should work

are you using Stock ROM?, if yes, flash the ROM again using Odin, no need to wipe anything, and nothing will be wiped, and you will get your phone app back.
if you're using a custom ROM, reboot into Recovery and flash the ROM then wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reboot.
download the stock ROM from sammobile.com or samsung-firmware.org, or samsung-updates.com
