If you downloaded from that thread (which I pressume you did) you need to extract the file from that zip file. You should get a file with .tar.md5 extension. Just odin that. If you get any error just delete the .md5 extension and leave it with the .tar extension.

Your welcome. Btw if you are able to recover back to stock and the phone gets stuck at sprint boot then just turn off your phone, go to recovery (you should have stock recovery now) and just do a factory reset. Then reboot then you should be fine.

Using the back USB ports on my desktop instead of the front ones finally allowed me to unbrick my phone. I was getting a similar message about the PIT mapping and finally found this information, that got me past the error.

Can I remove TWRP without odin?

I have to swap my phone, one problem is that you cannot connect the phone to a computer.
Can I remove TWRP and restore the original recovery without ODIN? Maybe flash the firmware if there is a zip version using recovery?
I belive toy can use Mobile odin. There may also be a flashable zip.

I think I should try that just to be safe. Do I need to flash the entire rom ( Im on amdl) or just the stock recovery?
Just the stock recovery. Best thing to do is to search the forums for triangle away, flash your stock recovery after running triangle away. Follow the prompts for that, btw. Then use SuperSU's built in unroot.

mobile odin is saying that the device isnt compatible? It asks for a dump, I did that and it said successful.
I restarted the phone, and it still says the same thing?
Looks like mobile odin is not supported for the AT&T Model.

You could extract the recovery.img from the tar and then create a zip file from that. I think it would work, but I've never tried it.
I guess the only thing I can do now is either find an AMDL firmware or stock recovery that I can use a zip file to flash it using TWRP.....
Has anyone seen this anywhere?

Sammobile.com has the stock firmware. You'll have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in odin.

You should be ok, I don't think they really check anything. You might do more harm right now than its worth. I've sent two devices into them. Got a refurb back. Your biggest worry is it'll probably be mf3 firmware.

Those files are Odin flashable. You need to download them to your pc and use Odin to flash them. You'll have to extract the .tar.md5 from the zip you download.

Download Odin 3.07 to your computer
Download the stock firmware. It'll be a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from that. You'll use that in odin.
Open Odin on your computer. There will be a PDA slot you browse to find the .tar.md5 file.
Put your phone in download mode and plug the usb cable into it. Have the usb connected to your pc beforehand
Make sure only auto-reset is checked in Odin.
Then hit start. It'll take about 5 minutes. Don't unplug the usb until it's done.
Edit, here's a guide on how to return to stock. It is not for your device so do not use any of the files on it. But the process is the same and may help you visualize the process. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

[Q] Noob bricks his S4...and recovers; but needs help fixing

I successfully installed something like MF9HotspotMod last month and everything was cool until I did the Android 4.3 update. Then I attempted to root the phone again and bricked it for a day with in stuck on the yellow sprint screen until I did my next trick.
I went into recovery and installed jlftespr_mja_text2.zip after trying many attempts I read off of forums. This was the only rom that actually got my phone to work.
Everything looks good except for a had some issues with the phone not working in LTE areas. Sprint said to turn LTE off and set the phone to CDMA only (that really didn't solve the issue but got them off the phone.)
How can I get this back to as close to as possible stock rom, something that will run the Multiwindow App that uses Xpose Installater (the best thing to happen to phones since the G1 came out!), and get free wifi hotspot?

If you want to get back to stock you have a couple of options, download the full MJA tar from sammobile or a mirror site and install via odin, then root it with cf autoroot and install the MJA hot-spot mod. Or download the rooted stock MJA rom from the development section and install then install the hot-spot mod. Simon center you are having problems with your radio, I would recommend starting crash with the full tar.

You need to download that tar file and odin and just flash it. This will delete your internal memory and then try to perform ##27286# in the dial pad and try it and see if it works.

Nope not the kernel just the one of the other two zips. The kernel is built in the the tar file. Just download which ever one. Extract it, you just get a .tar.md5 file. Start odin and put it in the pda slot. Set the phone in download mode. Connect to the phone. Flash it. BTW THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY SO MAKE A SAFE! BEFORE ANYTHING! Once that is done. Boot into recovery. Should be stock recovery now. Just do a factory reset and reboot. And presto you should be stock mja. Just go to the dial pad and enter ##27286# and it should reboot a couple of times. And see if that helps you.

Check that fail happens only with PIT or with only ROM flashing (without PIT) too.
If that fail in both case then follow what rushi said above. If fails with PIT only then better contact service center as something messed up in partition.
