Failed to enter recovery mode.

[1983parrothead]

Every time I boot recovery mode, I end up in download mode. I tried different ways to boot recovery mode, but I always boot into download mode. I'm rooted. I installed both CWM and TWRP, but no luck. Any advice?

Are you on the me7 or mdk version?

If you can't get into recovery at all, you might want to start all over with stock and then reroot.

Then how do I do that? I'm using an ME7 cell phone. How do I properly install Samsung USB drivers?

Go to the Samsung support website, enter your model number, select downloads, and click the Samsung USB Drivers.

Tried that, but "SAMSUNG_Android" driver fails to install, probably leading to failures in Odin.

Do you have USB Debugging enabled?

Yes.

Turn it off and see if The drivers install.

Only charging. I heard that you should open Task Manager, go to Processes, and end every Kies program, before flashing roms using Odin.

I successfully restored and rerooted my S4 back to when it was before TWRP or CWM were flashed. Now I must figure a way to do this:
