Hello Everyone,
I've dug myself into a pretty big hole and am hoping to get some direction to dig myself out of it.
I recently moved to a new apartment, and internet service won't be set up until Tuesday evening. In my infinite wisdom, i decided to "take a crack" at installing a custom ROM on my Verizon Galaxy S4 in order to use the tethering option for free.
I used the instructions at this thread to install Safestrap. So far so good.
I then downloaded CM12.1 from this website. (Please note that this is an external link). This is mistake #1, though I did not know that CM12.1 was not compatible with Safestrap.
When I booted into SafeStrap recovery, I was also unaware that the default ROM slot is the stock slot, and I installed CM12.1 in the stock slot. This is mistake #3. What was mistake #2, you ask? Well, I didn't make any backups.
When I tried to boot into the system in the stock ROM slot, I got an error that SafeStrap was disabled. I then installed CM12.1 in a new slot, and I no longer get that error, but after SafeStrap's boot screen, I get an error that says "Secure Fail: Kernel" and "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your system."
So, I can still boot into SafeStrap recovery, I can still boot into Odin mode, and that's about it. I have heimdall installed on my Mac OS X, and I have a Linux computer as well that I can use to fix this problem.
I also wrote down this information before trying to get tethering for free:

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0

BUILD NUMBER: KOT49H.1545VRUFNC5
SE FOR ANDROID STATUS: ENFORCING

SECURITY SOFTWARE VERSION MDF V1.0 RELEASE 2
So again, this has been a series of errors on my part. At this point, I'd like to "Unbrick" the phone.
Thank you!
