Tried to install TWRP, messed up bootloader - Not sure what to do next



I pulled out my old Verizon Galaxy S4 with the intention of getting a ROM on it that had XPosed. After some Googling, saw KingRoot supported it, so I used that app to root it. Then I tried to get TWRP installed. Their website said you could do it from their app, so I tried that. It *said* it succeeded, but after that, my phone couldn't even boot at all.

So then I read up on using Odin to fix it. I tried to flash TWRP recovery from Odin (even finding a .tar version was a PITA), but I got this:


Code:


<ID:0/006> Removed!!
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/006> Initialzation..
<ID:0/006> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/006> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/006> recovery.img
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> FAIL! (Auth)
<ID:0/006>
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/006> Removed!!


Now, it boots normally, but I can't get into Recovery any more.

All I really want to do is get some custom recovery on there. Or even back to normal at this point. But I don't know how. I also tried flashing Clockwork Mod, but that didn't improve anything. What should I be doing now? Go back to stock and start over? Or am I installing the wrong recoveries from Odin (the TWRP one wasn't on their official download page, they only have .img files there, not tars). Or what?
