The main cause of the problem is that I tried to install TWRP custom recovery on my galaxy S4 while it had the MK2 baseband on it. now every time I try to upgrade the phone it gets bricked and goes into download mode. I then flash SGS-I337_16GB.pit using odin 3.09 and then odin tells me that the flash failed, However when I restart my phone it boots up to normal.
I just want to install android L 'cause I HATE touchwiz! help please :crying:

Have you tried resetting with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
With this you can flash the stock boot image back, and hopefully after that you'll be able to flash everything else you want.
Alternatively you could flash stock Rom and Kernel with Odin.
If you have Kies installed, make sure that it is not running while Odin is running. They don't like each other.
You said you wanted to flash a Rom, what exactly were you trying to flash? Are you sure it was the right Rom for your device?
So I was running 4.3 and was rooted on my note 2 on sprint. I had SuperSU and I did a unroot so I could upgrade to 4.4 I unrooted then rebooted then installed 4.3 then things started to go bad. I can get to download mode, but it wont boot past Smasung GALAXY Note II splash screen. Can't even boot to recovery mode. I have used ODIN to flash CWMR, TWRP, stock rom. And nothing works, if the image has a sboot.bin file, ODIN fails everytime. When I flash to correct stock rom ODIM passes but when it boots it boots to the a firmware update error but Samsungs kies just says connecting ... and doesn't ever connect. I don't know if i hard-bricked or soft-bricked my note 2 or if I am just doing something wrong. PLEASE help me I miss my phone lol.
I tried to update my Galaxy Tab 3 P5220 which was rooted with CWM to 4.4.2 Kitkat but the flashing failed since CWM happened to be outdated. Then I flashed TWRP recovery with Odin and flashed the stock Galaxy 4.2.2 rom that I had earlier. Then for some reason, every time I turn on the tab, it boots only into recovery mode and no matter what I can never get it to boot into the ROM!! Even when I plug it into the mains for charging without turning it on, it boots into recovery! Can anyone please help, as I have only 14% battery left, and without any way to charge it, I'm doomed! :crying: Any help would be really appreciated
PS- I tried reflashing CWM and TWRP with Odin, all to no avail...

UPDATE - I managed to fix it by flashing a stock ROM with ODIN and all is fine now
My brother rooted his phone and flashed a custom ROM but decided to go back to stock because YouTube would not work with the 60FPS. He used Samsung Kies to go back to stock ROM it didn't work He got an error saying "Frimware Emergency Recovery" in Kies.
When he saw that he took out the battery and got an error saying "Frimware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" on his phone. He putted his phone on download mode and used Odin3. V1.85 and rooted his phone and flashed CWM and SuperSU. HE flashed the CM 12.1 Nightlies he was able to go back past the Samsung boot but gets stuck on CM Boot. In Odin it won't work it says Failed when he wants to go back to stock ROM. He cant go to CWM he has to root it using odin to go into the custom recovery mode.
____Upgrade_and_Initi…___AT_T_Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II___XDA_Forums[1].png IS what he got in Samsung Kies.
WP_20151031_21_37_27_Pro[2].jpg IS what he got when he took out the battery and putted it back in
WP_20151031_21_36_16_Pro[1].jpg Is what he gets when in Download mode.
I believe the issue is from trying to downgrade your bootloader. You need to flash the correct rom.
so Jus let me apologize if anyone has already posted about this i have been searching for three days but here goes....
the phone samsung t889 tmobile us variant got it new installed cwm philz touch and rooted been flashing roms been all good last rom before fail was dirty unicorns on mk7 firmware so long storey short i lost everythign but download mode i have odin and note 2 toolkit but not a lot of knowledge of how to use with out recovery mode. it was stuck in boot loop but i managed to get it to boot to logo but it just stays there until i pull battery and put it back into download mode. odin completes sucessfully every operation i try in it but i cant get recovery to flash to phone i have flashed it it says completed but i cant boot to recovery and ideas???? thank you all
I'm sure you've already tried, however volume up+home+ power will take it to recovery. If I have issues flashing a recovery, I often will flash a different recovery to test. You can always bring it back to stock and have at it again.
stock firmware comes from here
http://www.sammobile.com/
instructions for odin are found here

make sure you are only flashing stock for your variant and not another one.
enjoy!
