Go to www.sammobile.com and find your original firmware.
Download and flash in Odin

Can't update OTR after flashing back original

I rooted my phone and install a custome rom but today I tried to flash back my original rom I backup and tried to update my phone through kies and it says my firmware can't update due to a change in my firmware. My phone is still rooted and I still have a custome recovery install. Is that causing the problem? Sorry I'm new to all this. Thanks.

That's exactly the issue. If your device status is listed as modified, then Kies will not work. You basically forfeit your option to update through that program. I think unrooting would help, or just wait and flash the new 4.3 ROM that will be available soon.
This should have been posted in q&a. It would be helpful to know what specific phone you have. You say you've flashed back to the stock Rom but you still have a custom recovery? How did you flash back to stock?

I have a Samsung galaxy s4 Im377. What I did was, I used twrp to restore back my original firmware I don't think that will restore back Odin back to my phone.

If you want to restore back to stock and remove the custom recovery you should use Odin. That should let you get the ota firmware upgrade.
So I have to use Odin to put back my original firmware? Also I'm not to sure how to put back Odin to stock recovery.

When you flash the stock firmware with odin it'll put the stock recovery back on at the time. You don't have to do anything special.

You don't flash the backup with odin. Get the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your specific device and carrier.
So I would download Odin to my pc than download and install the original firmware with odin? Do you have a step by step on flashing with odin? Thanks!

The attached guide is not for the i337 but the process is the same. Just don't use any linked files, except for Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924
Thank you all for all your help. Awesome forum.

Deroot is not working and phone is not working either

Hello, I have a bell sm-n900w8 note 3 with android 3.4. Here are some screenshots of the setiings: http://imgur.com/a/lfjal. I started out by rooting it and installing TWRP. My phone ran great. I then wanted to try a new rom so about a week ago I flashed the sm-9005 xnote rom. It worked great. The next day I wanted to use 4.4 kitkat so I flashed the bobcat rom, this did not boot though becasue I had not upgraded my phone to kitkat. I then paniked and installed the xnote rom again. Now my phone runs very hot and has terrible battery life becasuse of this mm-qcamera-daemon and the camera doesn't work. I tried unrooting it using this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2013/10/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-3.html. This did not work and odin kept saying failed. Then I paniked again and went into SU and hit unroot. Now I have a phone that just barely works and runs out of battery very fast.
Can someone help me unroot and reset my phone to what it was like when I first got it?
If you need any more information about what I did, please feel free to ask me, in this case you are the experts.
You have to flash the stock firmware using Odin. You can download it from sammobile.com.

It worked!
How do I fix the thing were I can't upgrade the phone because it is modified?
You can upgrade it but you have to use Odin to flash the 4.4.2 firmware. Again you can download it from sammobile.
