So i pressed "install update" by mistake and now my phone is softbricked at the verizon screen for some reason, im still very new to flashing on the S4 but am experienced with the OG razr. anyone know what the problem might be? i pulled the battery the second i hit the button, i think that might be what happened lol, f%$ked up the update, but idk how to fix it? do i just have to flash a stock image?? i was using stock rooted

Yeah, if you pulled the battery in the middle of the update, that's probably why you're soft bricked.  I'm sure the install started, but didn't complete, so you probably don't have a complete OS installed.  Sounds like time for some Odin.

I've had to use it a few times on my tablet, and it still makes me nervous. ;)

Wuss! :p
Just kidding! It does make me kinda nervous.. I mean,it's not exactly cheap to replace a device. And all it takes is one millisecond to screw something up...no matter how many times you've repeated a process.
