Recovery failed - need help please

I tried to update trwp from 2.7 to 2.8.0.1 with safestrap. I don't know what I was thinking. Now the phone will not boot. It says secure fail:recovery, them something about system software not authorized by verizon.. I am trying to find a way to reload safestrap to the phone without having to start from scratch. Please help. Note 3 retail, rooted.:confused:

Update: after staying up all night doing everything I could think of to no avail, I took the phone to a Verizon store. I made up some **** and bull story and the guy took my phone in back. He came back a few minutes later with a big grin. He had fixed it, and everything was intact. When the phone rebooted he saw the safestrap and smiled at me knowingly, but not a word was said. I need to stop screwing with my phone late and night when I'm tired. Lesson learned.
