Are you sure you have the right file? And you don't need stock recovery to get OTA. As long as your build is stock, installing should be fine.

Hello guys
I tried to flash a wifi fix modem in Odin and now I cannot boot my phone and cannot flash a stock ROM.
I was on Omega7 (which has wifi problems)
Bought Phone Odin, chose to flash firmware (found the modem files I had downloaded)
Phone reboot to download mode, so I thought it had not worked, and tried to flash it in Odin PC version... but it got stuck at boot.img
So I unplugged, restarted Odin/Phone and tried again and again, but no luck.
So I tried flashing a Stock rom (I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5) but that gets stuck at boot.img too.
What can I do?
When I try to boot the phone, it says something about going to Kies and doing recovery there... but that assumes I have got some backup file to recover from, besides, Kies does not find my phone, it recognises it is plugged in, but continues searching for it.
Any bright ideas?

Get it back in download and try another cable, seriously. Or try flashing with the pit file as well the pda (firmware).

I changed cable
I flashed TWRP recovery and then flashed stock rom
Then back to recovery and flashed the Omega custom rom
And what do you know, my damned WiFi IS WORKING!!!!
Woooo hooo....
What a PITA, but cheers for the help,
Mark.
I have TWRP recovery installed, but no backup - HELP
I have my IMEI number at hand but have no idea how to fix this.
I've been spoilt with my Nexus I think...
You will have to flash a working rom. Do you have any on you phone that you no work. If not you will have to download one on pc and move to your phone to flash in TWRP or use odin.

Ahhh finally managed to find the stock rom and flash via Odin
Phew! Cheers fella
Glad you got it sorted.
Had a Goldeneye ROM installed, wanted to try something different. I'm on MLD baseband. Managed to load a Nexus ROM, but couldn't get wifi to work. Tried Goldfinger ROM, same result. Somewhere along the way, I lost the ability to get into TWRP recovery. I can get to the fallen android recovery menu, but whenever I try to reboot it goes to directly to the ROM (prior to this, if I tried to reboot to TWRP, it would first go to the fallen android, but then selecting reboot got me to TWRP). I have a nandroid backup, but don't know how to try it out without first going to recovery? Alternatively, I could try this method, but don't have a windows box and can't figure out which files I need to flash using heimdall. Thanks for the help...
Do not flash the link on your device. You can get the stock mdl firmware at sammobile.com. Flashing what you linked to will put the mk2 firmware on your device and you'll no longer be able to use twrp. Sorry I can't help you on heimdall though, I've never used it.

Have you tried reflashing twrp? I would install flashify from playstore and go from there.

OK, well, I managed to get back into recovery. Installed towelroot, then just reinstalled the safestrap recovery apk. Was able to restore my backup, and all was well. Tried reinstalling goldfinger, and wifi was gone again, as was my recovery (again). Weird.

Meh, forgot to RTFM when installing the ROM. Needed to flash the ATT modules. In my defense, that info was buried pretty deep in the FM

Sigh. I just need to quit while I'm ahead. After messing with some xposed modules, I eventually became unable to boot into recovery again, and am stuck at the bootloader screen. I think I need to reinstall firmware via odin (but I have no windows PC, so I'm going to try heimdall).
Is this method the correct one?
I have this file as my firmware: I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT.zip

...And, we're back in business! Multiple problems, one of which was the wrong firmware version--the above is MDL, not MLD
I flashed back to stock MK2 firmware, then upgraded using towelroot and safestrap.
Had a bunch of problems trying to figure out Heimdall, and couldn't figure out what was going wrong (turned out to be the USB cable--I saw posts about this, and went through FIVE cables before I could find one that worked. It was a kindle cable, FWIW).
Tried ODIN in the meantime using my wife's old XP box. What a PITA. Had all kinds of issues trying to get kies to install. Anyway, I'll write up exactly what worked for me. A lot of the info I used was fragmented, old, and contradictory.
EDIT: Re-borked, and tried upgrading again, and ended up with the same errors using the new cable. Then used a different computer, and didn't have any trouble with multiple flashes. I think my USB controller is touchy on the original computer...
I tried installing almost all recoveries under T330 and T330NU but Odin keeps reporting as fail. I have tried Odin 3.09 and further without any hope. I even tried using another PC, installing drivers, and ,any versions of Odin but report fail. When I try to boot up the device it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies and Kies 3 don't recognize my device. Oh and Stock ROM from sammobile and the one provided here in the general forum also report FAIL right after aboot. Am I hard bricked?

Russ, no you're not bricked, you have a flash that failed in odin, and if i understand it correctly you now have an instruction alive in your cache that executes at reboot resulting in kicking you back to that particular message/state in odin. Succeeding in a recovery or boot.img flash should break it out of that "loop". what changes have you made to your device that odin flashes are now failing? Also , are you using the factory provided cable?

I am using factory cable and have use other USB cables that are verified working. What I did was flash TWRP from sub77 and then tried to flash stock rom because it was being buggy. That is when the problem started and I cant go past the message. Although I can now access Download mode but when I try to boot up normally or to recovery I receive that message.

Okay download mode is good, flash the last known working recovery that you were using. Remember to DESELECT the auto restart option in odin.
when the flash is done [res-ok] etc. , force reboot to recovery and attempt a restore of your associated backup. Meaning if your existing backup was made with an older known working version of TWRP you must use that version. If Philz, then Philz.
Odin's later newer version is required to flash the LP 5.1.1 update for the sm-t330nu. see @thisisapoorusernamechoice 's thread for instruction.
