Check this out. Adam is one of the biggest resident experts on this device and it looks like he has a way out for your problem:

Q. Why won't my phone start? why is it saying unauthorized software?
A. You unlocked, flashed something, then relocked. You need to flash back to stock VRALJB then repeat the unlock procedure. Use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

Good news! Thanks for the update.
I hope you don't give up on CWM. I'm a big fan of it myself and was able to flash it from ROM Manager with no problems. Give it another shot now that you have the restore process down!
All good and I have cwm

Wipe data/factory reset is the correct next step. Select that line using the vol buttons, then press the power button. You will see text appear that confirms the wipe was completed. Then your phone should boot.
Next go to the second guide that BROKKANIC posted for you (first link in my signature) and follow the steps. Feel free to ask if there is something you don't understand.

I would personally suggest against that. Just use odin to flash a gb custom kernel. Then flash one of the better ICS firmwares we have available in the development forum.

That's your call, of course. I'd recommend against it. If you really want stock ICS I'd at least install stock plus root, and install a custom and known safe kernel. See this thread in development.
Or, install the custom firmware of your choice from the forums here. For a popular stock ICS rom, there is Semi by AJ Newkirk.

i got that as well, but only in between loading the kernal and flashing su. I didn't reboot like it asked, i just continued flashing su then let the motochopper script reboot for me, so i'm all good it seems for now.
Thanks so much for the info sextape!!!
edit. nm, it showed up again, but i'm not going to reboot until i have the stock firmware downloaded. I wonder if i freeze SEAndroid, if that would prevent the warning.
As I stated yesterday, I'd be very impressed if we had a working root method by today (when I should be receiving my device this evening). Low and behold, color me impressed. SXTP you are truly a legend good sir! :good:

By "unauthorized software warning" do you mean the little triangle in the notification bar and the message saying "Device detected an application attempting unpermitted access" and asking you to reboot? That is because you have USB debugging checked in developer options. There is another option below that says Verify apps via USB, it's grayed out so I can't uncheck it, BUT if you freeze SEAndroid 1.0 with TiBu the warning goes away.

Odd, I've rebooted a few times and haven't had that happen. I tried rebooting with the warning and it took me to the samsung splash screen with the unlocked padlock and it said "recovery loading" and tried to do a software update. I managed to hit the power button and stop that from happening. Not sure WHAT would have happened if that had completed.

Hey all i accidentally hit the OTA update "OK" button when it popped up on my screen. I've been deferring it for the past few months but my finger slipped and hit the "OK" instead of the "defer" and choosing a date to ask again.
I have a looping "Teamwin" logo and it keeps looping.. Cant seem to do anything. I've taken out the battery and then start it up but it still does the same thing.
Any advice, step by step to get out of this loop?
Thanks!

yep click the link in my sig...refer to section 1b. you can probably get away with using root66 so you do not have to reroot and unlock BL.
Also when you get back up and running I would recommend freezing SDM1.0 apk with a App such as Titanium back up pro and you will no longer get prompted for OTA updates.

if you had an updated firmware then that file wouldnt work for you. i also noticed though you put that file in the bootloader field instead of the pda field when you tried flashing it one of those times. that may have been a bad thing. you could try to flash the other file marked vramc from that thread.

root66 works on all devices with the current firmware since it does not contain a bootloader, recovery, or wipe data. Sometimes it will cause a bootloop which all that is needed is to wipe data in recovery.

you need to boot into recovery and wipe data...if you can get into recovery the a full odin package will need to be flashed such as stock VRAMC3. However it looks like you figured it out.
I recently rooted my s4, hoping that I could put kitkat on it. I found that I couldn't just flash a rom with rom manager, so I installed safestrap, and I put 10.2 and a 11 nightly onto my internal storage. I flashed one of them (idiot me forgot which), and I rebooted. Now, my phone will show "samsung custom" and it will go to a screen that says "safestrap disabled." I can either click "recovery" or "continue." Recovery just brings me to the safestrap menu, but continue brings me to a blue (maybe aquamarine) colored screen that has static green lines and sifting/disappearing pink lines. Please help, I'm really worried I bricked my phone in my idiocy.
EDIT: So now, no matter what, it gets stuck at the "samsung custom" screen. If boot into recovery, It goes to a Verizon unauthorized software page. Is my phone bricked?
Yes...you didn't research at all. Countless threads on this issue.

Recovery just brings me to the safestrap menu, but continue brings me to a blue (maybe aquamarine) colored screen that has static green lines and sifting/disappearing pink lines. Please help, I'm really worried I bricked my phone in my idiocy.
EDIT: So now, no matter what, it gets stuck at the "samsung custom" screen. If boot into recovery, It goes to a Verizon unauthorized software page. Is my phone bricked?

No. It is not bricked. Why on earth would you try to install a CM ROM on a Safestrap phone?
LoL no aosp ROMs for you. You can get it back though

I didn't do enough research.

So you installed that ROM onto to safe stock side in safestrap? I'm thinking you did.. But just wondering. And did you make a backup before you did anything? Safe strap is designed to be really safe... And if u do install anything to the stock slot you need to be extra careful and make sure you have a backup. Like josh said.. Probably the best bet now is to just Odin the stock firmware back on that phone. Not really hard just look in the development section you'll see ODIN

Most of the ROM developers have fairly explicit instructions on what the requirements are for their ROMs. Others take the approach that you should do some homework before you do something that will potentially turn your $600 phone into a paperweight.
At any rate, you're not the first nor will you be the last. Live and learn.

Do you know what build you were on? Go to Settings>About Phone. Scroll to the build information. We need the last three characters of that build - two letters and a number that start with a "M."

Follow the directions. I can't hold your hand because I've never done it. I have just a little experience with ODIN. There's another thread in the development forum that tells you how to do it for the MK2 base. There's a bit more detail on the directions. You can try the MK2 .tar file but the instructions say that might not work.
That will take your phone back to the way it was when it came out of the box. I'd strongly suggest you leave it like that until you've done your homework.
Here's a hint to help you out. Most everything you might need to know is on the first page of each forum. All of the latest and greatest information will be there, including the bugs and the workarounds.

a while back I had a friend root my phone, he recently unrooted it and brought me back to stock. Tonight I received an OTA update and clicked ok. it stated to update and then rebooted into the "Samsung" screen with white lettering, but it stays there and the screen flickers.
If I try to boot into recovery it asks if I want to download a custom OS.
Does this mean it wasn't fully unrooted (we thought he took all the steps to unroot)? is there anything I can do? If I bring the phone into verizon will they know if has been rooted and will they even care?
thanks

Whats the phone you're talking about?
Sorry, thought I was in the Note 2 forum. It's the Note 2 from verizon.
When I try to bot into recovery it now goes to a screen that says I'm downloading an OS, and at the top it says ODIN.
