In error I attempted to flash a ROM with ROM installer thinking it would use Safety Strap as the recovery. I wrong I was! I got an error saying to take my phone to the nearest Verizon store. I wasnt too worried because I have used Odin to flash the stock image. But this time it didnt work. I have an error message saying to use Kies in recovery mode and try again... I tried that, cant find the SN and Kies cant see the phone fully.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

You can get in download mode? Sounds like you can are you using the correct build tar to flash with Odin? Mdk,Me7?

Pull battery. Boot into recovery. Wipe cache. Wipe Data/Factory reset and reboot.

I think you used the wrong file... if you were going to use Safe Strap then that means you were probably on ME7 or MI1. MDK phones have the bootloader exploit and custom recoveries, thus negating the need for Safe Strap.

This is a link to the me7 image, after downloading I would verify the md5 to make sure you didnt get a corrupted download. If the md5 doesnt match and you try to flash it youll just get errors. If you had the newest mi1 image flashed then you wont be able to flash the one I linked and will have to download it from the development section.

No one asked you to or needs you to be the morality police. It's one thing to discourage someone from just getting Verizon to swap a phone out every time there is a hiccup instead of actually trying to fix it, but there is no need for your piety. The guy was doing all he could to fix it and he would not be in this position if Verizon/Samsung would just let us have the access we want.
do you have a recovery menu or are you still in stock recovery?
I accidentally tried to install a custom recovery on my galaxy s4. Its running me7 and it got bricked. I can reboot it and everything works fine but if I try to factory reset the phone in the settings it gets stuck in download mode. Is there anyway around this?

First off your phone isnt bricked, its not even soft bricked. Your phone cant boot to stock recovery because you attempted to overwrite it with a custom version. Youll have to flash the stock me7 image via odin to get back your stock recovery. All the stock images can be found in the dev section. There is also a no wipe version if you apps/data you dont want to be wiped during the process.

If it failed after flashing aboot you were trying to flash mdk which you cant do. Prior firmwares are blocked. Me7 doesnt block odin flashing you just have to flash the me7 stock file.

Not a problem, yeah just make sure its the me7 image or it wont flash. Also when flashing me7 if youre still getting errors it could be a corrupted download so verifying the md5 after the download is suggested.

Okay, so i am on android 4.3 MJ7, sch-i545, yada yada yada
I rooted the phone and installed titanium so i could delete some bloatware (when i should have just installed a custom recovery and get Cyanogenmod or something while i was on 4.2.2)
I wound up deleting some pretty important apps that i thought were bloatware from Samsung/Verizon (Downloads, Download Manager, Video to name a few). Now, i can't play a video i record, I can't open the play store, etc.
I would flash a custom rom like Cyanogenmod, but i don't think it is possible to get a Custom Recovery on android 4.3
Any help getting these apps back would be greatly appreciated.

I kinda figured that, so i hesitated to factory reset.
I understand i will need to use Odin, but i'm unsure which file i will need to flash it with. Could you point me in the direction of a rom i can use?
You should always back up the app before you delete it, even if you think you will never use it.

It's been awhile since I installed a PHilz recovery, but if I remember right you get the tar file from the download, put it on your computer, put the phone in download mode (volume down and power), connect your phone to your computer using the charging cable that came with the phone. Odin recognizes the phone and you highlight the tar file you have on your computer and select PDA. Click start and let it do it's "thing". Wait until you get a green "pass" in Odin before disconnecting. If I remember correctly the link I provided also has install instructions so if my memory is failing me those instructions should keep you on the right track EDIT: Go here for instructions on how to install the downloaded Philz package; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39433857#post39433857

You can't install a custom recovery on MJ7. It's been posted many times.
I have no clue why anyone would actually delete the apps. Just Freeze then with TiBu to make them functionally not there. If you are that tight on space, buy an SD card.

Ive looked all over and tryed a couple different things to fix this. I tryed doing a clockworkmod recovery and it did not work. Then i tryed to use loki and it bricked the phone. Now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try agian". I have tryed using odin to go back to the stock rom/firmware and it fails half way through on two different pc's. then i tryed kies and it wont read my device on either pc. i have reinstalled samsung drivers on both pc's and still nothing. If anybody has any ideas it would be appreciated. I have a good knowledge of PC's but this is the first time messing with a phone.

Wow. You didn't do any research at all did you? You're going to have to find a ME7 (or later build) .tar file and use Odin to flash back to stock and start all over.
Just know you CAN'T install a custom recovery with ME7 (or any build after that) and you can't revert to an older build. Your ONLY option is Safestrap. Read that thread I linked you to and do your research.

That's why I need to know if you used Safestrap as your recovery. It's very likely you're trying to flash the wrong file with Odin.
If you had Safestrap your build wasn't MDK. If you didn't need Safestrap then your build was MDK.
So I'll ask again, what file are you trying to flash, with Odin, that keeps failing?

NO!!! You cannot flash the MDK file, you cannot downgrade the S4! Always ends badly, go to the general section and grab the NC5 full-wipe tar and flash with ODIN.

From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172. I would choose the "Full Wipe" version. Make sure you have a good download. Check MD5. Make sure you follow the directions for Odin. If you verify all of that, and it still doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't be any more help. Someone with more knowledge than I have will have to step in. Good luck.

From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172. I would choose the "Full Wipe" version. Make sure you have a good download. Check MD5. Make sure you follow the directions for Odin. If you verify all of that, and it still doesn't work, I'm afraid I won't be any more help. Someone with more knowledge than I have will have to step in. Good luck.

I can vouch for the full Version. Saved my bacon.
You have to boot the phone into a special mode that will allow ODIN to funtion
Turn off the SGS4 and boot it into Download/Odin Mode: press and hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds till you see a warning screen. Then press Volume Upkey to enter Download Mode.
I got it!!! Found my Samsung cable and all went well. TY for ALL the help!

Yeah, it is a really good feeling when that ODIN starts to run like it means it. Nothing beats that first boot up!
