Problematic Boot Loop on Galaxy S4 LTE i9505 - soft bricked!

Hi all!

Let me just start by saying that I've used the forums a lot in the past as a guest, and I've seen the amazing stuff you guys do, so I am hoping you'll be able to help me out today!

About a month ago, I flashed my recovery to TWRP and install Resurrection Remix (Marshmallow) on my phone. It was having a good few issues, so I thought I'd try to reinstall. Didn't go well!

Firstly (and don't ask me how!), it reverted my recovery BACK TO STOCK. I now have no TWRP to install .zip files from.

Secondly, my PC will NOT recognise my phone. At all. It charges, but Windows makes no attempt at installing drivers. I've installed Kies, the Samsung Driver software, and tried 6 different Micro USB cables (including the OEM).

Finally, I'm stuck in a bootloop. I'm gonna safely assume that the /system file is gone, so I have no OS to boot into, due to the stock recovery saying: "E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

As I mentioned, I have access to the recovery, and the ODIN MODE / Bootloader works fine. Issue is, my PC doesn't seem to recognise the phone at all. Tried two different PCs and I'm getting the same result. I also attempt to use ADB sideload, but it doesn't come up in the list of devices.

My question to you guys please:

- Do you know of any software that I have not yet used that may well install the drivers for my phone?
- Are there any ROMs I can install from within the Samsung Stock Recovery, that will not produce the "E: footer is wrong" and "E: signature verification failed" error messages.

This really is a last ditch resort guys. Looking at getting a new mainboard to fix this. Really am hoping you'll be able to help please.

All the best!
