Help Help! i9500 soft brick?

[bontuser]

hi,
my S4 i9500 won't boot.
i have tried loading several versions of stock roms, recoveries and non-stock roms.
all stock roms fail in odin, and i get "unsupported dev_type" error on the device.
other non-stock roms install with no error, but the device won't boot after reboot.
finally, out of frustration and recklessness, i guess i used an S4 boot loader fix wihch loaded successfully from odin.
unfoutunatly, after rebooting the device, boot message sais GT-I9505 instead of GT-I9500. turns out it was a 9505 boot loader fix.

is there anything i can do to bring my device back to life??
currently, device won't boot to recovery (blue "recovery booting" on top left corner of screen), won't boot to system, but can enter download mode, and be identified by odin.
thanks!!

Hello and welcome to Android Forums bontuser!

You have, I am afraid, become, "Flash Happy", in an attempt to sort your phone out. Stop it!

You will need to download and flash the stock Samsung firmware for your model of phone and CSC code. Since you cannot access your original, "Version", details that would have told us what that exact firmware was and I doubt you made a note of it before rooting and flashing, we will need some information from you, as follows...

1. Which country are you in and did you obtain the phone in that country?

2. Was your phone originally carrier branded or was it sim free?
