[Q] unbrick AT&T galaxy s4 SCH-I337

I have a AT&T galaxy s4 SGH-I337 that i bricked. i was trying to install cyanogenmod 11 but i accidently flashed the zip to the stock. the operation failed and now i cant boot to the stock. i can boot into download mode and recovery. im using safestrap 7 as my recovery, but i dont think it is working properly. i need help asap thanks
What firmware did your device have installed? MF3, MK2? You'll have to use odin if on MF3, or the mk2 unbreakable zip if you're on mk2.

There's only safestrap 3.65 and 3.71. In the future read more, because safestrap is only capable of running touchwiz roms, not cyanogenmod. This has to do with the kernel. Now that you flashed to stock slot your recovery is borked. Do what he said above.

Copy it to the root of your SD card. Reboot into recovery mode (tutorials are out there) and apply update.zip

I have about the same problem. I recently rooted my phone then downloaded a root required app. After the download, it made me reboot and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with stock recovery mode and download mode. I've tried everything I can since I'm limited to only using a mac. Please help ASAP. Thanks.

Try kies to restore the phone, try the mk2 update zip, or the mf3 tar files with odin. Or take it to best buy and have the Samsung guys flash it back to stock.

Can I simply flash the MF3>MK2 update.zip from the stock recovery after putting on sd card? I see those instructions on your thread but thought someone mentioned that this update was safer to be done through odin with the update file on computer. How should I update to mk2?
Edit** Do we even have Mk2 tar files to flash via odin??
