Im on mk2. rooted from there. tried to install cwm recovery through gooim app. No go. Used safestrap I believe is what its called. It installed twrp. Then downloaded vision x rom and loki doki zip as he described I should do. Flashed loki. Um rebooted all was good made a nandroid and then moved the rom zip from internal to external sd and tried to flash it twice with could not open zip appearing. ...and then it went to the screen I described in the op and will not go back to recovery or boot
I might be able to help.

Can you go into download mode? Also would you consider going full stock again (no root)?
Odin this if you just want it to work again:

You need to read before doing more with recovery and ROMs. You can't use CWM on MK2, only safestrap. Loki doesn't work on MK2 either and safestrap doesn't flash kernels. You probably had a bad download that didn't flash right and your system probably got wiped if it's not going past the splash screen. Go flash the MK2 TAR files, they're in the General section.

So, first, I'm running the stock 4.2.2 rooted on the ATT SGH-I337.
I installed ROM manager shortly after the root, and recently downloaded CM 10.1.3 for the att model of my phone. However, I couldn't find it in the recovery system to flash it. So, I install goomanager and flash over to TWRP, thinking maybe TWRP's easier interface will help me to find it. I reboot into recovery, and if I attempt to enter recovery mode, it gets stuck on the "Downlaoding, do not turn off target" screen. So, I re-flash CWM back on it, and reboot to recovery, and get stuck on that same screen again. If I just boot it, it's fine, jumps right back into 4.2.2 TouchWiz rooted. However, as you probably know, I can't install a ROM without recovery mode, and stock TouchWiz is poo.
I'd like to get CM running asap, although I'm just glad my phone still RUNS for now (my experience installing CM on my S3 was a NIGHTMARE).
So yea, any reason I would be getting stuck on that screen and unable to enter recovery? Like I said, I'd like to have CM as soon as I can.
Also, if someone can link me to a guide to install through CWM w\o needing a computer, that'd be wonderful. Thanks!
I'm assuming you're running on the MF3 build version. Read up before you brick your device. Your only option for a custom recovery is safestrap. Come on people.
Cheers.

You never saw twrp. You saw the stock recovery. Mf3 won't allow a custom recovery.
Edit, you did see an i337 in the you tube vids, but it had mdl or mdb firmware. You can put a custom recovery on with them. Unfortunately it's not possible to downgrade the firmware.

And also, I did, in fact, read past rooting, and found several people running CWM and TWRP fine, so I figured it would work. Now maybe they didn't have MF3,and I wasn't paying extremely close attention, but I'm pretty sure there were some on the same model and firmware as I am.

So, at this point, it's a waiting game for someone to find out how to put a recovery mode on an MF3 firmware, is what you're telling me?
Also, I may have been in stock. I don't remember EXACTLY what clockwork looked like. I just know it wouldn't let me select the gapps and CM files,which is why I tried TWRP. Though I did have CWM recovery flashed when I booted it into recovery those several times.
Dude you never booted CWM. That was MF3s stock recovery. MF3 does not allow any custom recovery but Safestrap.

Oh no Well I have a few questions then.
1. I would like to install a 4.4 Google Edition rom. Is there any way for me to accomplish this? Also, is it a bad idea to go ahead and flash it without a recovery?
2. Should I revert the recovery back to original? How would I go about doing that?

There isn't anything you can do so far. The only thing you could do is use an app I can't remember the name of to flash mods to your current system, but you can not flash ROMs and definitely not anything that may need a different kernel. If you want to get a working recovery then find the MJ6-MJ9 thread but only use the recovery tar file, not the rest of it.

well.....if you were on MF3 then you could load safestrap and then get the google edition but it wont support the 4.4 only the 4.2.2 version of the GE
thats what i did. i highly doubt there will be an unlocked bootloader for MK2 im on mf3 and cant even update to 4.3 MK2.....ill ask the developer of safestrap and ask him because he was getting a MK2 galaxy s4 on att last week and he was doing some testing....or you can do some research your self but im happy to help even though my account says im a junior member i know quite a lot....
if safestrap works here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448726

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.

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.
After trying this for 6 hours today and failing miserably I feel borderline retarded.
PROBLEM: Every time I install a rom through Safestrap it boots into a black screen.
DETAILS: Phone came out of the box with MF3. After some reading I used Odin to NB1 and then installed the NC1 update.
From there I rooted with towelroot then installed the safestrap apk, and then installed the recovery.
My procedure is:
Wipe all but sd card
install rom zip
install NC1 modules
install superuser
reboot
From Safestrap I have chosen both Goldeneye rom and Shostock with the same result.
I have tried installing over the stock slot and making a new slot both with the same results.
I have had in the past and Ally, X10, S2 and now this phone and it is by far the most difficult for me for some reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
You can only install on the stock slot. Make sure you using safe strap version 3.72

I tried to figure this out and I'm lost. I've not been keeping up with development on this phone for a while. I'm currently on stock rooted MDL, stock recovery.

Glad you got it--you can now flash custom recoveries from recovery. I like twrp 2.5.0.2
Don't try goomanager anymore--not needed
There are a couple files to delete so you don't get auto updated. Some have Update in name and one has FOTA. I don't have them in front of me atm
Get a nandroid asap and put copy on pc too
Plus backup efs
Just one last check before I try and mess with things tonight. Since I'm on MDL still, to install a new current ROM (like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280556), all I need to do is:
- install a custom recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.2 looks like the most recent)
- backup
- full wipe
- flash new ROM
I shouldn't have to mess with any of the safestrap stuff correct?
Just trying to be cautious.

No SafeStrap. Backup should include System. Make sure to read OP and last few pages of thread for any new info. Make sure ROM doesn't need loki-doki. Most in att forum don't. What recovery are you on now?
