Okay, I need help and I feel dumb.. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I rooted my s4 just to try it and I'm stuck trying to get it to go back to stock.
I have a note 3 now and I've got everything going well with that but the s4 (I have the I337).
I have it rooted and the phone will start and is a perfectly functional android phone, but whenever I try to get it into recovery mode I can only get it to go to download mode. Odin flashes to stock fail with this:

Because you are on MF3, the bootloader is locked and there is no exploit. Therefore, custom recoveries won't install. The reason ODIN is failing is because you are using the MDB files instead of MF3. It is impossible to downgrade the firmware back to any previous version. If you want a recovery, the most you can get is Safestrap, but make sure you read up plenty on it before you install it, as it is not a normal recovery and is not even installed to the recovery partition.

Grab the MF3 Odin flashable tars and flash them the same way to get back to complete factory stock. Or you can get the MK2 tars and update to 4.3 and use Saferoot to easily get root since you already have drivers installed. Then look up how to install Safestrap for MK2, (which is really not too difficult), and TWRP v3.71to use as a recovery.

Hello I have an Att Samsung Galaxy s4 SGH-I337 running 4.3 Jellybean. I have had it rooted but something went wrong when trying to flash a custom rom. I got it stuck in download mode and it took me a while to get it out. I had to do several battery pulls when it finally booted I unrooted the phone and it works normal. Except when trying to install a new update it tries to reboot but goes into download mode. So i try to boot into recovery and can only get it into recovery mode. I have no idea what I have done and I have tried to use kies and odin to no success odin just gives me an error. thank you for your help

It appears that you are flashing the MDL firmware. I took is as your phone has MDL firmware.
I used to have MDL phone and it went to boot-loop due to my error in flashing a custom rom.
I used that MDL firmware to flash but it failed. So I used MDB files to flash and it went through. My phone booted as MDB phone. That was my experience with that MDL file.
thank you for your reply I had the MDB file as well and just tried again. It gave me the same error as before.

You started from 4.3 so you need to flash the same version. Use the MK2 ODIN files.

[Q] Can't flash stock ROM SPH-L720

I installed CyanogenMod 10.2.1 on my rooted Sprint S4. Upon realizing that I could no longer connect my Gear 2 watch to my phone, I would like to reset my phone to factory settings, unrooted, with the stock ROM. I followed the guide at galaxys4root.com (xda won't let me post the outside link, but it is the first result when you Google "galaxy s4 root unroot") and used all the downloads from that page. However, upon trying to flash to my phone, I receive this error in Odin:

I can then shut down my phone and reboot back into CM just fine, but I really would like to have the stock ROM back so I can use my watch. If anyone could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Well there's you problem says you have the l720T version of the s4. You need stock firmware for the sphl720 T version. Search for that specific device

Alright, that was a stupid mistake on my part, I apologize. I'm downloading the L720T firmware from Sammobile now and I also downloaded Sammoblie's suggested ODIN, which is 3.09. I will post the results after the download finished and I try to flash it.

Try downloading the NG2.tar. It's the most up to date.
Will do. Thank you!
