Hi folks, long time reader, first time poster here.

So I have been looking all day and have not been able to find a solution to this, some help would be greatly appreciated :)

I have an i545 s4, all stock and no root. Today I did the OTA update and it started boot looping on me .

It does not look like the power button issue as I can remove and insert the battery and the phone stays off. It was working fine earlier today.

I can not access the recovery mode. When I try, I get the 'Installing Update' screen and it locks up. I can access download mode. I used download mode to ODIN in a fresh VRUFNC5 image, but no dice there either. I got the updated VZW animation but it still boot loops and I still can not access recovery mode.

Can I flash a fresh copy of the stock boot loader with ODIN? Should I? Is that even out there for me to download? Or am I thinking about this in the wrong way? Any suggestions to get my phone back would be great. Thanks in advance.
