now I only can get to download mode. If I reboot or try to get to recovery I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
In download mode I've tried flashing twrp again with the same result.

Running Android 4.3... it seems that with no issues... have mobile network and connected to wifi with no problem, going through the config now
(followed you on Android Revolution btw).
try for twrp again, that one works fine
you can flash this zip (http://goo.gl/LjdBwT) through philz to update to twrp
