I rooted my s4 just to try it and I'm stuck trying to get it to go back to stock.

I have a note 3 now and I've got everything going well with that but the s4 (I have the I337).

I have it rooted and the phone will start and is a perfectly functional android phone, but whenever I try to get it into recovery mode I can only get it to go to download mode. Odin flashes to stock fail with this:

<ID:0/005> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_I337UCUAMDB_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)

the stock flash was linked to by others I found on XDA.

Also, details about the phone:

Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Baseband I337UCAMF3
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.4

Thanks for any and all help!

You cannot add a custom recovery to MF3 if the phone came with that firmware you will get hard brick

Because you are on MF3, the bootloader is locked and there is no exploit. Therefore, custom recoveries won't install. The reason ODIN is failing is because you are using the MDB files instead of MF3. It is impossible to downgrade the firmware back to any previous version. If you want a recovery, the most you can get is Safestrap, but make sure you read up plenty on it before you install it, as it is not a normal recovery and is not even installed to the recovery partition.

Grab the MF3 Odin flashable tars and flash them the same way to get back to complete factory stock. Or you can get the MK2 tars and update to 4.3 and use Saferoot to easily get root since you already have drivers installed. Then look up how to install Safestrap for MK2, (which is really not too difficult), and TWRP v3.71to use as a recovery.
