Heimdall: Error cannot send data

Hey guys, I bricked the s4. I can boot into recovery and download mode but even if I install any rom through recovery I go into a bootloop. I'm using the rom switcher recovery. Please help me.
And when I try to use Heimdall it detects the device but then it gives the above error.
I'm on Mac 10.9.1

First I am not s4 user but I faced sane issue with my s3.
I flashed stock rom via odin and everything is back to normal.
Be sure to clear data and cache after odin flash or else you will get bootloop.

Did you flash PhilZ CWM? As you don't have root anymore you will have to flash it via Odin. When you boot into recovery you will be asked if you want to install SuperSU again.

Alright I'll try. I'm trying to root it via kingo android root

Is everything working? PhilZ CWM is the latest and probably best CWM (based on 6.0.4.8) you can get. Why do you want to install a older recovery version?

[Q] Stock recovery missing!!!

I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!

Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.

First fully charge your device.
Second flash a new fresh rom.
Or you just go in recovery and do a factory reset (whipe data, cache,)

What version of TWRP do you use? It sounds like your EFS could potentially be FUBAR'd........TWRP has the option to back up the EFS and if you have a TWRP backup it should have the EFS backup in it...check your backups to see if you have this. Give this a shot, it should fix the issue!!
If not, as he's recommending for the 'hard reset' it's under wipe and then advanced........just make sure that you have EVERYTHING backed up on a computer as this will erase all the data on your phone.

Try this:
Go to /efs/FactoryApp/
Open a file called factory mode.
It will probably say OFF. Edit to ON, save and reboot.

None of my back ups have EFS I forgot to click box it.

You don't have any efs folder in your phone now?
Go back to recovery and mount efs, then use twrp's built in file manager and browse to efs and see if it's empty. I don't think it is.
