As far as I know those apps aren't compatible with the TF yet (I think it's a Honeycomb thing at the moment), give it time and they should hopefully get updated ...
oh,ok thanks for the info.

If you're on Prime 1.5, press and hold the power button for recovery option.
but yeah the Rom Manager and Quickboot does not work for the TF.

any help would be apreciated

Just curious why you are asking a question about a i9505 device here?
Anyway, are you saying it can NOT get into recovery at all? or you can get into recovery and there is no options.

Are you sure you're not talking about download mode? (vol down + home + power)
Recovery mode is vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the phone vibrates

yes download is fine
in recovery are not any options
You have 2 options, get into some type of recovery, or ODIN back to stock. and that will require some reading to get that up and running...try here first.
You will need to post in your i9505 forum about this issue where to find original stock image, I looked there, but didn't see anything right off the bat.
god luck sir.

Hold Home, Volume Down, Power button. When phone reboots press volume up to go into download mode. Install rom via odin.
Maybe you have a clone S4, as the boot screen shouldn't be in Chinese

From topic. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Note 6: If you flash I9500 stock firmware for China region, it will flash sboot.bin with it, that leads to have a Chinese bootloader (download mode will be in Chinese language and boot splash name will change). Even if you flash other stock firmware, it will not change the bootloader. So flash "GT-I9500_sboot.tar" (attached) as pda in Odin and it will fix the issue.

can you take a picture to look?
Please be warned
Thank you for your replies
having installed roms on other phones in the past I felt something was wrong, with that in mind I spent a couple of hours doing research just to find out this issue. As mentioned in this thread, this galaxy s4 is a fake. I have been in touch with the person I purchased it from and she has no interest in giving me my money back and the only way is to take her to small claims court which in its self is a waste of time.
SO PLEASE BE WARNED IT'S COST ME £300 TO FIND THIS OUT
ADVERTISED IN SWINDON WHILTSHIRE ON GUMTREE AND IT APPERS THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE UP TO IT
