So I rooted the s4 with kingo root and everything went great. I then installed goo manager and installed twrp recovery...or so I thought. I then tried to reboot into recovery to flash the pac rom but my ohone rebooted into download mode stating that it couldnt boot into normal mode. Now ive officially rebooted into normal mode but how do I boot into recovery mode and not have that error again? I know this has prolly been asked before but im on my phone and its hard to navigate through thousands ofnpost to find the right answer.
Thanks in advance!

+1 and make sure you know what firmware you're on
what happened is you upgraded your bootloader to one that is "locked" and you can't go back. now you have to use safestrap recovery instead of TWRP. i did the same thing it sucks because now we can't use custom kernels.

Not if you're on mf3 firmware or newer. Do you know what firmware you're on?
im going to help you out because i went through this the other night:
first you need to do this to get out of download mode.
get odin3 for your pc and connect your phone while in download mode. if you haven't already get the http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows and install them.
next download this
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23321874045862958
this is 4 files you will put into odin to get you back to stock everything. this is 4.3 not 4.4.2 because i assume you want to have a rooted phone with a custom recovery and there is no way to root 4.4.2 yet or put a custom recovery on.
so when you unrar the file add the 4 files to ODIN and flash
NEXT: you should be in stock mode now. enable developer mode by going into settings about device and clicking build 7 times. enable usb debugging in developer mode.
now you can root. download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2559636&d=1391563147 , extract to a folder. connect your phone to your pc with usb and run install.bat. go through the process. now you are rooted.
next you can install safestrap recovery mode (looks just like TWRP just you cant install custom kernels.... and only some custom roms, sucks i know)
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jflteatt/safestrap/Safestrap-JFLTEATT-3.71.apk just run that and install recovery from the app.
so now you have your 4.3 phone with stock rom rooted and a custom recovery. IF YOU DARE try and flash a rom. go here for more info on that. scroll down to the part that says ROMS OVERVIEW
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
i tried and ended up stuck in download mode again so i gave up and am chilling in stock 4.3 with root and custom recovery at least for now until i have some free time to try another rom.
THE END. hope i help some people with this

I've been trying to hold off on rooting my new GS4, but after a few weeks, the bug finally bit me. I got the custom recovery installed, and I installed SuperSU from withing the recovery, but due to some update errors when I rebooted, I never have gained root with the factory ROM. To be honest though, I don't care if I have root in the factory ROM, I just want to wipe the facory ROM and get CM onto my new device. Since I have a custom recovery, can I just say **** it and wipe and install the latest CM nightly, or is it absolutely imperative that I gain root in the factory ROM before I wipe and install a custom ROM?

I'm assuming ur on MF9 OK now you should have rooted first before recovery you can follow the video from www.qbking77.com on how to root MF9 but to answer your question I think you have to be rooted to flash any rom but it don't make sense you can't flash a recovery without being rooted it's weird that you have custom recovery and not rooted do you have super user app on ur phone?

Maybe it'd be more accurate to say that I can't get SuperSU working. I used Odin to flash a custom recovery, booted into custom recovery, flashed SuperSU, rebooted, but instead of launching SuperSU first, I updated SuperSU through Google Play. I then ran SuperSU and it couldn't install the binaries, realizing that I probably shouldn't have updated SuperSU before running it first, I uninstalled the update, then ran SuperSU, but it still cannot install the needed binaries, and since I was never able to get SuperSU working properly in the first place, I cannot gain access to /system to remove the SuperSU apk and try again. So I'm hoping that since I don't even care about TouchWIZ, I just want to get CM up and running, I can just boot into recovery, wipe everything and then flash CM.
I don't think you can do that without bonking ur phone need to get and cf root so it will install the root binaries on ur phone SuperSU will work without ur running cf root it will not work that's why ur getting the error can't install binaries that's cuz ur not rooted

Ok, thanks. I'll give that a shot. Is it going to cause a problem though that I've already flashed SuperSU, or will CF-Auto-Root just overwrite.
And on an unrelated topic, I've seen multiple times now while researching rooting the GS4 people saying to make a special backup of the efs folder to backup your IMEI info. I've rooted many devices now (Nexus One, Epic 4G Touch, Captivate, One X, original Galaxy Tab for Sprint) and I've never seen mention of making a special backup of the efs folder. Is this something new for LTE devices or what?

Awesome, that worked like a charm, but since that uses a stock recovery, I now need to get a custom recovery back onto the device, and that's easy. However, I remember when I first got my Epic 4G Touch, if I wanted to flash a custom ROM, I had to first extract the kernel out of the ROM, flash the ROM, then flash the kernel, then reboot. Eventually this was fixed so all you had to do what just flash the ROM and reboot and you were good to go. Will I need to flash the kernel separately with this phone as well?

No not that I know of buddy I always flash them all in the same package buddy never had to separate the kernel to flash anything so you should good flashing everything all in the same package but I'm sure whatever rom you run they will it op if you have to do that buddy
I've always used Teamepic root and then flashed my rom, that didn't work with the S4, at least for me.... I couldn't get into recovery.
So I tried many other ways, every way I have found on the internet and if it's not one thing it's another. SSU will either say binary not available or when I am installing from recovery (cfroot) it says install aborted. I've flashed to the stock rom so many times since yesterday I'm about to go nuts, but nothing will get this phone rooted, please help!

Don't know if it makes any difference but normally you put on custom recovery first then root can't see it makes any difference but maybe the reason

When i do that I get: "Warning!!! A custom OS can cause critical problems in your phone and installed applications. Installing Custom OS on your device may cause it to shut down as a result. Please see manual for details. If you want to download a custom OS press the volume up key. Otherwise press the volume down key to cancel. Volume up: Continue Volume down: Cancel (restart phone)"
When I click volume up it takes me to the downloading screen same as before.
THANKS for trying, but that doesnt appear to the answer.

You cannot run custom recovery on att mk3,only safestrap. Sounds like you toasted your recovery. Youll need to find some guides to flash back the stock recovery with odin, maybe another method. Lots of guides here for this sort of thing.

Yes download the mf3 tar files. Use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414 and you should be back to stock than you should be able to go back into recovery.

These are the only Roms you can use with safestrap. You can only use touchwiz based Roms and only 4.2.2. There is the Google edition ROM you can use. But cyangenmod will not work or any kanga Roms they can only be touchwiz based. And that link shows you what ROM you can use.

Ahhh I see now, will try that one out.
Today I tried flashing CM 11 onto my S4. I have it rooted and I have safestrap loaded onto it. When I went into safestrap to flash it I also queued up GApps Aroma not realizing that it would run that before it would reboot for CM 11. Now my phone is stuck at the "Samsung GALAXY S4" screen and won't continue. When I connect it to my computer it makes a tone that registers it connecting but it doesn't show up in My Computer.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick or restore it to factory?
Thank you,
Mik

Today I tried flashing CM 11 onto my S4. I have it rooted and I have safestrap loaded onto it. When I went into safestrap to flash it I also queued up GApps Aroma not realizing that it would run that before it would reboot for CM 11. Now my phone is stuck at the "Samsung GALAXY S4" screen and won't continue. When I connect it to my computer it makes a tone that registers it connecting but it doesn't show up in My Computer.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick or restore it to factory?
Thank you,
Mik

Cm will not work in ss. You'll have to use only tw based roms. What firmware are you on? There are tar files in the general forum for that firmware which you'll have to flash in Odin. Sammobile will not have those tar files for you.

Sammobile has firmware for many Samsung devices. It just doesn't have anything newer than mdl for the i337.

Alright done a bit of reading like you said but I still have a question. From what I read Gapps wont work with SS since it is CM based. But is there something similar to it that I can use to get rid of bloatware? Or do most of the ROMs not have that kind of stuff in them?

Most roms don't have all the bloat. Use titaniumbackup to freeze any bloat you don't want.
