I am trying to root Lollipop on my I537 so I flashed back to KK successfully. Towelroot is successful so I flash LP as instructed using Flashfire but I never got rebooted to download mode. I get stuck on the S4 Active boot screen and the device seems to power down. So I boot to download mode manually and flashed the I537_OC7_Bootloader using odin but still cant get past the Active Boot screen. So I am trying to flash back to KK again. I was able to do this before last night but today I can't seem to get the firmware to flash! Can some one help me?

Ok so I got Odin to flash everything from SGH-I537UCUCNE3_v4.4.2_ATT_ALL and even a pit file i found here. Problem is I get the S4A boot screen and it says booting recovery in blue at the top right but then it dies. Any Ideas? I got Odin to flash by using a USB port on back of my PC on the mobo rather then the front USB ports on the case.

I also do not have access to stock recovery even after a successful NE3 flash with Odin! Have I bricked my device or just soft bricked it?
