No, you haven't really helped. Order isn't a factor here, the phone returns to Download Mode with the message "Could not do normal boot" even after following proper procedure for Recovery Mode. I think the recovery is either inaccessible or broken due to attempted flashing of custom recovery over a completely unwritable one.

It would be best if you slowed down, took your time to do some research. Then you would know that you can NOT flash any custom recovery to mk2 build other than Hashcode's Safestrap. version 3.71. Nothing else will work. IF your phone is really messed up you can now Odin back to stock as we now have FULL tar files available.
Please Read the following it will help you.

A beautiful brick.
I just went out to get a Nexus 5 because of this same issue. I tried everything i could to get the phone to update or factory reset.
I guess the only solution to this is to be careful of what carriers you buy your phones from. Now i have a beautiful brick sitting on my desktop that's stuck on 4.2.2. What a waste.

First, the nexus 5 is a nice device, you'll be happy with it. It's what I'm writing this post on. On the s4, did you try to Odin the stock mf3 firmware?
GOT IT!
Thanks for the help I just found the solution here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504311 . I guess i will safestrap it up and see what happens from there. I still think ill be set on my Nexus 5 though.
Thanks Again!

you just have to go to ur phone download mode by holding volume down and home button and when u get to download mode just simply click on cancel(restart) it will boot ur phone..1
I get the same thing as well. You said "I found a fix for this that allows me to reboot my phone into working order". Could you explain how you got this to reboot back to normal? That's all I want at this time too.1
Currently, it's sitting on the ATT sphere, white background, with the blue LED light on, got the opening chimes on the reboot as well. Been a couple of minutes now sitting there...
UPDATE
Was able to power it off as it was getting hot, got it plugged into laptop, charging animation is on, with the red LED light on as well. Cooling back down. What do you think now?
UPDATE 2
Did a reboot after charging for a bit, still hanging on the ATT sphere, white background, with the blue LED light on1
I am/Was in the EXACT same boat as the OP. I did what was posted above and I was good to go, meaning I can use my phone etc. I have had the phone for 5 days after using an iPhone for 5 years so I am still learning and almost learned the hard way. I will just wait until I can flash ROMs etc.
Thanks for making this thread OP.1
