Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19505 LTE
Region: UK
Firmware: 4.3 JellyBean
I tried to install 4.4 Kitkat, on my S4, it failed so now I can't boot it back to normal. It just stays stuck on the Samsung Logo. I took it to CWM where I wiped the data, cleared dalkik cache (Don't know the spelling), so now I cant even get to CWM as it's gone as I reset. If I try to get it too recover mode, it just goes to the samsung logo and stay there for eternity. I tried removing the battery and placing it back several times. I need help just to get it back to normal, I don't care if I lose my stuff.
Can you please, give me a newbie tutorial.

If you can still get into recovery find a ROM (perferably stock) and flash it. That should get you booted. If it doesn't, you'll need to find an stock firmware ODIN file to flash onto the device and get you back to stock. I'll see if I can find one and link you to the source for assistance.

After replacing battery, did you just try holding down, volume up, power, and home button till CWM appears, also did you do a back-up attempting your update...

Yes, CWM used to come up until i did some partion thingy and dalvic cache something.

I haven't backed it up, because when I tried backing it up last time I had 20mb left on my storage (I don't have an external SD card). I also never thought of it crashing because I updated to 4.3 Jellybean via ODIN seamlessly.

Also, I canntro go in to CWM, because I had formatted the cache, wiped dalvik cache, the S4 just stays on the S4 Logo.
