I would try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50667360
Go to the second post in the thread. Start with step 7. You'll want to side load the update.zip through adb. To do that you'll boot into recovery and side load the update.zip file. Follow the instructions to side load only.
Edit, if that doesn't work I would Odin the mk2 files again and attempt the ota again.

during the sideload i got an error message that read signature verification failed. I never thought it'd be so hard just to update my phone

It shouldn't be this hard. You have something funny with your phone. Why don't you try to Odin the mk2 files again.

Yes, that's the right file. And if odin didn't give you any errors then it flashed correctly. I'm kind of stumped right now. The nb1 update.zip you downloaded has an md5, did you check that to make sure the download was good?
EDIT, What a minute I see the problem. you need to use all 4 of the files. Put the AP file in PDA, BL in bootlaoder, CP in phone and CSC in CSC of odin.

the nb1 update zip has multiple folder including META INF, patch, recovery, and system. I cant find an md5, does that mean i have the wrong update zip?

No I ment the md5 check sum it's unique to the file and can be used to verify the file integrity. But see my edit above. That's the problem.

TWRP is not compatible with our devices, you need to use SafeStrap. Here is a link to the files you'll need.

Yes, it will wipe everything. If you're soft bricked it's going to be the only way to recover from it.

I'm not 100% sure on that.
Edit: Pull the recovery.img and convert it to a .tar.md5 file then you can flash it.
I odined the eng boot.img without thinking about backing up first and now stuck on tmobile screen during boot up. Is it possible to flash a stock boot to get back in or reflash whole software without it wiping all of my data?

Try going into the stock recovery and wiping your data. It should boot but it will also wipe your phone. It sounds like you need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware. It will also wipe your data if you do that.

Original software. APB6 I think its called. Also if I do end up having to wiping(which I hope I wont need to) should I update to latest firmware?
Download your original firmware from Sammobile.
Then you can try to extract the AP file. Then extract the boot.img file from that.
Then you can try this script to convert the boot.img to an md5 file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
THEN try to flash it via odin.
Here's the boot.img from the PD8 file converted to a tar.md5 file. Might work. Guess you don't have anything to lose.
(Unzip it first obviously)

Expected as much. To to update your firmware. Seriously. Why not? PD8 is rootable and you won't be able to update after you root.

Sounds like a plan. Thank you for the help
Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU

First, thread belongs in Help section not Dev.....
Second, are you sure you downloaded the right firmware from SamMobile? If restore in TWRP works, partitions most likelyaren't jacked up.

Are you sure it's system.img not hidden.img? I ran across something after attempting ODIN flashes starting a few version back.
You need to re remove hidden.img from tar file and flash it separate. Sucks but it's been working for me.
