You will need to flash back to stock MJE 4.3 in odin. Follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483380

Hello, i did something wrong while trying to flash an ics custom rom on my vibrant phone, before to flash the ics rom i had an old froyo with android 2.2 with the old bootloader, i didn't notice that to flash the ics i had to first update to cm7 than update the bootloader and finally flash the ics rom. So, after flashed the ics the phone got stuck in the boot sequence and i had the bad idea to restore back the old froyo rom but i ended up to a totaly useless device, it doesn't boot anymore and stays stuck on the vibrant boot logo.
Please has anyone any idea if i can get out of this situation and flash back the original rom or at least any rom that works? I also can't reach the recovery menu anymore, i don't really know what to do! I Hope for someone can help me!
Thank You!
You can use Odin to restore it to stock, download the pit and tar file from here and flash it with Odin while the phone is in download mode: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319802
Then use these steps to root and cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
Thank you so much bro, it worked like a charm!!!
Cheers
You should check out my guide on how to install ics. Has all the steps and some that the video missed.
Also you need to take care when restoring as GB and ICS roms are partitioned differently therefore restoring something like the /data portion of your nandroid will cause 9 kinds or hell for you. And don't even get me going about the one full/fool proof way to brick your phone-the bootloader mismatch.
Ok so I had a nc1.. used towel root,rf, and safe strap.made a backup and tried flashing gravitron... now I'm in a nonstop bootloop or I'm at the warning custom o's found.... can any one tell me where to start to fix? Currently downloading Odin to try and flash a stock image if it has?

Do you still get the Safestrap splash screen on boot? If so you can just restore or reflash. Otherwise, you'll need to use the NB1 Odin and take the NC1 OTA.
Before you flash again, make sure you wipe in Safestrap (all but external SD) and check your ROM. Make sure it doesn't need an updater-script in the All Things MK2 & NB1 thread and for gravitron specifically download the Safestrap version of it.

I have to wonder why you are posting here, rather than in the Safestrap support thread where you would undoubtly get the benefit of more experience. You also haven't provided enough detail to make it clear what has happened.
Where is your backup stock firmware? Where ever you put it. It sounds like you didn't make one though, in which case the answer is that there isn't one. You can download the stock firmware from numerous sources.

So, I'm a noob when it comes to flashing custom ROMs. I've had my S4 rooted for a while and have had no issues. Decided recently to try a custom ROM.
I tried installing UltimaROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495) and everything seemed to work fine during install, but once the final reboot happened I am stuck in a Download Mode loop. Reading more, I am now not so sure this ROM will work on my phone (duh.) I am assuming that I am going to have to use Odin to flash a stock ROM back to my phone.. is this true? And, if so, how can I tell which ROM to install? I looked at the SamMobile site and there are two f/w downloads that appear to apply to my phone, but they are labeled I337UCUAMDL and I337UCUAMDB. Neither one of these seem to match what I was at, so I'm not sure if I should use either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I did use Safestrap/TWRP to take a full backup of my phone before trying to install the ROM. Is there any way to flash just a new recovery and do a restore, instead of flashing a full stock ROM back?
You're right that the rom won't work with safestrap. You'll have to Odin the nb1 tar file. Look in the general forum for it

Thanks. I'm trying that now.
Hi all, im really hoping someone can help, and that what ive done is reversible.
After rooting I tried installing the alliance rom (lollipop) on my n610f, i got a boot loop so restored the backup rom using CWM without any problems, i read on the alliance rom page that id need a different bootloader and modem, i got what i thought were the correct one and put them on using odin, did a wipe and tried again, same bootloop. Except this time when i restore the backup rom i still have the same boot loop.
If anyone has a fix for this id be eternally grateful.
Fixed it by flashing N910FXXU1B OB4 [Lollipop 5.0.1] bootloader and modem
What did you flash? Modem or bootloader..? I think the best solution is, flash stock firmware via odin, then try again.
