Reflash the software, then once done manually reboot it and then go into recovery mode.
Thanks guys managed to solve by removing the battery for ~30sec and then tried entering the recovery. Thanks for the help

We need more info:
Which file dit you flash?
Dit you flash one file in PHONE?
or mulitple files, like PIT+BOOTLADER+PDA?
Also it is a good idea to check the MD5 before you flash to make shure the download is not corrupt.
Can you stil go into download mode? Volume Down + Power + Home
Can you go into recovery? Volume UP + Power + Home
Also you can retry with Odin3 v1.85.

Here is my suggestion, reboot the phone into recovery mode. (it's ok if its a stock recovery)
After going into recovery do a "factory reset" and see if the phone starts up normally.
There is at least a 50/50 chance that it will.
If it still does not boot then you need to go to SamMobile: http://www.sammobile.com
and get the stock official ODIN flash firmware for your specific phone model.
I would have given you the exact download link for your specific phone if you would
have been more SPECIFIC and added the EXACT model of your phone in your post.

Just reflash it, and make sure you have the right CWM recovery .6 iirc is the correct one.
Remember the term bricked means basically a paperweight. Won't turn on at all and basically a dud. If your phone turns on then it's not bricked even if it boot loops etc

Another way take out the battery, insert, turn on by direct boot to download mode, use Odin reflash the ROM with tick Phone Bootloader Updates.
Guys whenever I remove battery ,try hard reset or try to enter download mode..it starts in stuck boot screen (won't go any further) showing this...

Take the battery out to power off the device, then put it back in... Hold volume down + Home + Power to get to download mode. You are trying recovery mode which is different.
Seems you were right thx a lot
Friend was having this same issue, followed the thread and got it fixed, thanks everyone!

Please elaborate what is blue, then red, then yellow.
Are they showing up all at the same time?
Is this what you have been experiencing? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642038
Take the battery out for a few seconds, then put back in, boot into Download mode clear cache etc, reboot. Fixed.
If no good, reflash stock ROM via Odin. Fixed.
As for the Recovery is not seandroid enforcing it's normal on a rooted/custom recovery device.
In future, I'd suggest you read before you mess around with your device if it's so important to you.

Just want to make sure you know how to go into download mode. Remove and put back battery, while phone is off, press power + vol down + home button all at the same time until something comes up on the screen. Let go of all buttons then press vol up. Is that what you are doing to get into download mode?
The only problem you have is your 4.4.2 ROM. Nothing will boot because you want to startup a 4.4.2 Rom/Recovery with a 4.3 Bootloader. Just go back in Download mode, connect with your PC and flash official 4.4.2 ROM with ticking the option "Update Bootloader". Everything should work after, but I don't recommend 4.4. You can't go back and you have much probs with current KitKat ROMs.

Guys,
I was using the Cyanogenmod 11 for about 2 weeks and I always got the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and the phone always booted up fine 90% of the times. Today I got the message saying that there was a new version of the firmware and I clicked ok for the phone to restart and begin the update process.
After that, I was stuck in the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message no matter what I did.
I entered the recovery mode and wiped the cache partition to see if that solved the problem. After this, I'm not able to access the recovery mode anymore and the phone is stuck on the samsung logo.
So I put it in download mode, opened Odin (It recognized the phone just fine) and flashed the original firmware in order to unbrick the phone. Got a PASS on Odin and I was still stuck on bootloop with no recovery mode.
Tried flash it again with the pit file (thought it would fix the partition) and the problem stills perssists.
I tried to run the Cyanogenmod installer and it doesn't recognize the phone anymore, saying the model is not compatible. Odin still recognizes the phone as always when I put it in download mode.
Any ideas?
Have I lost the phone ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best Regards

Hi,
When you run the stock firmware through odin , you must wipe the cache an data before and after the flash.
Did you do that?

Hi,
Are you sure you are trying to access it correctly?
Try holding the power button + volume up.
When the blue writing comes up , let go of all the buttons , and tap volume down.
If that still does not work , install the stock firmware again , and see if you can then get back to recovery mode.

Already did that, still no sucess. It enters the download mode normally but when I try to enter the recovery mode the blue text appears and then the screen goes black and the phone tries to boot and gets stuck on the samsung logo. (And yes I already tried holding the buttons until something else appears on the screen and nothing happens. )
And yes I'm trying to acess it correctly.
Thansks!

Unfortunately ,I do not know AT&T firmwares.
Perhaps someone HERE can help.

Did you try and flashed rom again ( odin) ?? another option would be to flash (odin) a custom recovery see if it let you enter it and do a factory reset ..only problem is it will trigger your knox bit to 1..
@lloop: Are you completely stock, or did you attempt to install a custom recovery? The behavior you describe is identical to the behavior witness by myself and others when trying to install TWRP 2.8.5.0 on the S4.
One other thing that might help here. On occasion I've had the device get stuck in recovery. Going into download mode, cancelling download mode, and then holding down the buttons to go into recovery often works.
