When you flashed the ROM, it overwrote SafeStrap.
Use Odin to flash the lollipop kernel you were using. Then go into the stock recovery (hold Home + Vol UP and Power) and clear the cache and reboot. If that doesn't work, go back into the stock recovery, clear cache and select factory reset, then reboot. That should allow MOAR to boot, then you can reinstall SafeStrap Lollipop.

If that fails, then you're going to have to start over.

Well, as long as that worked. Keep what I said in mind, because if you're flashing ROMs you're probably going to run into the same problem again at some point.
