Generally speaking: Install bootloader only with Odin.

You should now flash firmware using Odin to save your device. Maybe Kies could restore also.

Depends on your last firmware. What was the bootloader version? If above MJ5, you can't downgrade so you are free to flash eg latest 4.4.2

The MJ5 bootloader, i found one that said it would be flashable through a recovery menu

1. Never flash bootloader through recovery
2. I assume that you have had newer bootloader than MJ5 before flash, so you soft bricked your device
3. To regain full funtional device follow post #4
