My S4 only boots into stock recovery with blue text 'recovery booting'. I cannot get into download mode or boot normally. I've tried to data factory reset but the same thing occurs and also I cannot clear the cache as it ends in an error. I have managed by fluke a couple of times to boot the phone up in normal. but cannot install superuser to get root. I also restored with kies but again reboots into recovery mode. please help as I don't want to keep booting into recovery. any questions ill try and answer them.

That's weird. Can you install the Android SDK or ADT and get adb.
Then plug your S4 to the computer (I assume the drivers are installed?) and open up cmd. Set adb to your path variables or just browse over to the adb where you installed your SDK and run
Code:
adb devices
to see list of devices and check if yours is there. Then type
Code:
adb reboot download
Let me know if that works.

Did you connect the phone to the PC? Seems that it cannot detect your phone. Bad drivers maybe? Try installing these:

Well if CWM works, and you flashed a stock ROM using Odin, does the issue persist? If so, it could be a hardware issue then.
EDIT: Although the issue in the OP seems to be solved partially no? Can you boot normally to your ROM? Can you boot to recovery (vol-up + power)? Download mode (vol-down + power)? Anyone of them through adb?

Do you get a bootloop? Download a zip of a ROM and flash it through CWM.
Can you still access download mode through the hardware buttons or through adb?

Every time I boot the phone it has the blue text saying booting recovery and boots into clockwork. I cannot access download through either adb or pressing the buttons. When I press down power and menu the phone freezes on samsung black screen.

You're supposed to press vol-down and power. Not menu. I guess that's a typo?
Anyway, if it doesn't work in those ways, I'm not sure what's left besides taking it to the shop and getting it replaced.
Does adb devices detect the phone as online? If so, you can try this toolkit and maybe that boots you to download mode?

No its not. You push in down volume, home(menu) and power button for ODIN and up volume, Home(menu) and power for recovery. Have NEVER got into download or recovery by holding volume up\down and power. Not since my Gtab 7" 1st edition....

What. That is totally weird. You are right but I can get into both recovery and download mode without touching the home button.
@spongerob500: Try what ultramag69 suggested with Menu button. Sorry about the wrong info in that regard, but on my phone I don't press the Menu/Home button.
EDIT: Sorry @ultramag69, it seems that both methods work. So no need to hold the Home button!

I dont now if this help, but only way that works for me to get into recovery, is holding both, vol+ and vol- keys, while presing home, and power button, when the phone vibrates, release power button, but keep holding vol+, vol- and home button for about 2 seconds, then release everything....
phone should boot into recovery now...

yes, I also used this combination of keys to enter the recovery once but now does not work, call a black screen and does not vibrate.
By KDZ also can not do anything because they also do not enter the emergency mode or in "pc suite".
Not even know how to solve this problem: x
And the worst is that I need the smartphone

How do you enter in emergency mode?
I do it by taking the battery off, then conect the cable to phone, hold vol+ (or vol-, i dont remember) and then conect the cable to the pc

For me on Verizon Note 3 this worked, but the button combo is different. It's the same as ODIN/Download mode:
Hold Vol down, Power, and Home... then Cancel ODIN/Download mode using Vol Down.
I had this same problem where I'd got myself in a "recovery" bootloop from Baja KK ROM... I had a custom power menu that allowed you to choose recovery as a boot option as opposed to selecting it at startup (I know, so hard). I would have the Galaxy Note 3 "Custom" screen then say Recovery mode in the upper left corner in blue, then reboot, etc... Anyway this seems to set it back to normal boot mode.

When you try to go in recovery mode keep pressed longer volume up and home, release power when screen is on. I had this issue and worked for me this way
