Rename it to update.zip (make sure you're changing the file extension from .cfg to .zip) copy the newly renamed file to your external SD. Power phone down and reboot to stock recovery by holding down power and vol+ simultaneously. Flash the update.zip and remember to be patient because the process takes a long time and the first boot can take even longer

Thanks a whole lot!!!

I'll try tomorrow morning after i charge up my phone.

I'll let you know how it goes.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mikelets456:
Any other suggestions for getting this phone into "deep sleep"? I let it sit on my nightstand and it loses battery faster than me using my E980 all day long.

This phone has NEVER gone into deep sleep from day one. Yesterday I fully charged my E980 and S4 active. The active sat on the nightstand all day...I got home it was on 68%. I used my E980 throughout the day, came home and it was on 76%!

I really want to switch back to the Samsung, but I'll have a dead battery by 8PM if I use it all day. Is there a "deep sleep" program?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] AndyKandy:
Actually, I have another question:

When I click on link 1 it shows a MD5 #.

Do I need that?

On a couple other youtube videos they use odin and an MD5 file to reflash their device.

And one more question:

The whole reason i'm trying to do this is because I tried unlocking my phone following a youtube video and it kind of messed up my phone.

It wont read my sim card anymore.

When I try to check my IMEI # it shows null.

And when I go into service mode, its blank.

Will reflashing the stock firmware solve this problem?

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I have the same problem. Just leaving it on at night drains the battery like crazy.

Are there any ways to slow this down besides having it on charge all night?

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

I'm sorry. I have one more question.

If i have NH3, is it possible to reflash NH3.

On another thread it said that i would have to downgrade to NE3 and then flash to NH3.

Do I really have to do that?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Only reason u would need to reflash back to NE3 is if u soft brick your device. If u have NH3, why would u reflash NH3? It won't help your battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] AndyKandy:
I need to reflash it because I tried unlocking my phone and now the IMEI says null, service mode is blank, and it wont read my sim card anymore.

That is the only reason im trying to reflash NH3

Thank you though. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Ah. I understand now. Yeah, u can reflash NH3 over NH3. I still recommend wiping first (factory reset, cache). Usually when flashing in odin, it already wipes everything. Make sure u have a backup of the items you want to keep, pics, music.... save those to your ext.sd though. Once u flash using odin, it deletes internal storage.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] AndyKandy:
How do you reflash it?

I tried copying the update.zip into my sd card and then I turned off my phone, pressed the power button, the home button, and the volume + button, then i went to update from external storage(or something like that) and i pressed on update.zip. It started and about a couple minutes into it it said some thing like "unkown pathway SD card" and it rebooted my phone. It just did the same thing that a hard reset would do.

Did i do it right?

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] alphabeast:
hey i have some problems with my phone.

i got it back to original with the odin NE3 package.

and i tried to update to NH3 and it failed and i have download it several times.

also i cant jump to OC6 it failed to it says something about E: signature failed.

would it be problem with my current modem?

my phone used to have the corrupted modem and it was without firmware and imei.

but before i flashed the modem.bin i tried to flash it first.

but my phone is running 4.4.2 NE3 but my phone has the mf1 modem it doesnt accept me the ml2 modem.

any ideas???
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You have to be on stock firmware, this includes the modem. Since you've changed your modem you might be able to follow the Keep Root instructions to update to OC6. If that doesn't work you're going to have to reflash the entire NE3 Odin package.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] alphabeast:
thanks Devo7v.

however let me explain i thought that the reason i couldnt flash the NH3 was cause i have a different Baseband ok so i decided to fully reflash the entire NE3 odin package however the phone didnt take the update to NH3. i believe cause anyways it doesnt have the NH3 baseband instead it said unknown.

i will try one more time before i flash the modem cause without it my phone doesnt work right.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] alphabeast:
it worked however im not sure if is going to accept the new modem.

what i did:

-fully reflash 4.4.2 NE3

-without touching it flash 4.4.2 NH3

-without touching it again flash OC6

modem didnt work...

How do you flash just a modem? I want to flash the MF1 modem so I can SIM unlock the phone.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] alphabeast:
when the software is upgraded a new modem is attached to the software and the phone works with that new modem.

sup the problem here is that my phone in particular.

mine and a few other i537 they dont jump to the new modem they stay behind without modem and in this case they lose the

baseband and imei. so there is a way to fix it. Transformix he took the modem from an untoched MF1 software (4.2) and create a file called "modem.bin"

wich can read the information on our phones (mine and 1347123984723947 who wont take the new modem to read the information on our phones)

and our phones works with an old model of baseband to continue working.

but in your particular case

where you want to sofware unlock the phone. this process wont work to you.

what you need to do probably is:

1. root your phone

2. look for a way to software unlock the carrier (i dunno how to do it)

or you can pay like 20 bucks to sim unlock it. but that is up to you ;)

Problem, Need help flashing updates

i just got am att galaxy s4 active sgh i537. it was on android 4.2.2. i did root it but want to update to android 5 if possible.

i managed to flash with odin 3.07 all the way up to MF3 but it still says im on android 4.2.2 jelly bean. whats the issue, what have i missed. basically my goal is to update to lollipop and get rid of bloatware. root again so i can instal some kind of rom or at least a good launcher.

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
MF3 is jelly bean. To get to lollipop you need to install kit Kat first, NE3 is the easiest to install and root in one go. Then follow the update to OC6 method to get to lollipop while keeping root

The easiest way would be to stick an AT&T SIM card in the phone and let it update automatically. If you want to do it manually, read the guide, that's why I wrote it.

Going straight to OC6

I'm Confused. The OP states pretty clearly that each ROM needs the previous version in stock form in order for update to work. Later posts seem to indicate that one can go straight to the latest ROM.

So, Can I go straight to the latest OC6 ROM?

I'm rooted with ActiveRoot Can I still just apply the latest ROM.

Also What is the deal with this safestrap thing? Will I need that also? I have always used ODIN on other phones.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
You can go to OC6 from NE3 or NH3 (both are kitkat builds). You don't need safestrap if you just want to be on OC6 (in fact it doesn't work with lollipop, and obviously OC6 is lollipop)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] cre8er:
Cool thanks!

So NE3/NH3 can both be flashed with Odin?

Also, since safestrap no longer works in lolipop, are any of the non touchwiz ROMs now working on the i537 like Cyanogen?

Any issues rooting OC6, or is there a keeproot mthod?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
NE3 can be flashed with Odin, NH3 cannot, which is why I recommended NE3 (and yes you can go straight to OC6 from NE3).

This phone has a locked bootloader, which means we can't have any custom kernels, which in turn means no custom recoveries like TWRP or CWM, and no Cyanogen roms. Touchwiz-based roms only for the time being (there was an AOSP-based rom that worked back on kitkat, but it hasn't been successfully ported yet on lollipop).

You can't root OC6 directly, you have to do a keeproot method. So what the deal is, flash NE3 through Odin like normal. Then on NE3 root with towelroot. Once you're rooted, use this method to update to a rooted (yet otherwise unaltered) version of OC6, and congrats, you've got rooted lollipop.

And for what it's worth, I've done this all a gazillion times (rom testing purposes and stuff), everything works if you follow the instructions

Anyone know about this…

Long story short, I ended up on NH3. While waiting to go home after work, I received an OTA Update…. Thinking it was possibly OC6, I updated. The version was NH4. I'm on at& t. Never heard of that version. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Can you post a screenshot of your About Phone screen? I've never heard of that before.

EDIT: I didn't notice this before, but it looks like AT&T released a 15MB update for 4.4.2 (NH3) to patch Stagefright. So there is indeed a new NH4 firmware that was released alongside OC7. Take a look at the AT&T changelog page.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] angelle97:
Ah. Ok, you'd think that build have just updated to OC6.

It was just temp til I could flash back to NE3 to re-root and Flash the new OC7 deodexed.

Are you having any issues with apps just closing (not force close)? Just closes out like hitting the home button.

NH4 OTA File Captured

I'll try, no promises or ETA.

To capture an OTA file, you want to start from stock, ROOTED, firmware, check for the update and download it, then the instant it's done, tell the phone to wait before it installs (so tell it NOT to install right away). Now you open a root enabled file explorer (I use both Root Browser and ES File Explorer, both work fine) and you have to look for a file named 2400258.cfg. On the KitKat builds, it was in /cache/fota, on the lollipop builds IIRC it was in /data/fota. I could have that backwards but the point is, you'll find it in a directory named "fota", you need root access to be able to find it, and it's not always in the same spot. Once you've located the file, simply copy it to either internal storage or external SD (or both).

The main point is you have to locate and copy 2400258.cfg before you allow your phone to try to update (even though it will fail since you're rooted) because the file goes away after that. If it's too complicated, don't worry, I'm going to give it a try, and I haven't failed yet (wow I didn't mean for that to sound so douchey).

No promises, but if nothing goes wrong I'll hopefully have that OTA file (NH3 to NH4) within a few hours. Update: so far so good, maybe even have it up within the hour

I have successfully captured the NH3 to NH4 OTA file, linked to here. As always, the raw OTA file is inside the zip (2400258.cfg) this cfg file needs to be extracted, then renamed to update.zip and copied to the external SD, and flashed in stock recovery from an unrooted NH3, all the usual stuff.

Root NH4

More good news, I successfully rooted NH4 using the old W0lfdroid method, with the following important change: I created an Odin file for the NH4 kernel, linked to here, so use that instead of the old NH3 kernel, otherwise everything is the same (extract the Odin tar.md5 file from the zip). I'll check back in with a new masterpatch in a little while
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Vardion:
Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, it is not what I was hoping for.

Context: I've an i9295 (on 4.4.2, didn't want to upgrade to 5.0.1 yet because of issues with XPosed and other stuff) which doesn't seem to get a Stagefright patch any time soon. I was hoping to just replace the Stagefright libraries with the one from i537 - 4.4.2. But since the update just contains patches: cold anyone upload a zip containing the patched /system/lib/libstagefright* from 4.4.2?

Hi,

I am having issues again from updating I537UCUCNH3 (4.4.2) Released 2014-09-25 to I537UCUCNH4 (4.4.2) Released 2015-08-11.

In order to flash the OTA files you must be on stock, unrooted NH3 firmware. You can then rename the downloaded OTA file to update.zip and flash it through stock recovery.

Mine is not rooted. After downloading the proper file (Official NH3 to NH4 OTA 15 MB) I go inside and name the “2400258.cfg” to “update.zip” . After selecting the "update.zip" in stock recovery, it rather shows some errors and restarts. My system still remains as I537UCUCNH3.

What I am possibly doing wrong? Please help me guys, I sincerely appreciate it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Could you share the recovery log, or at the very least the error messages that show up? That might help revealing the issue. Also maybe when you try again you should clear cache and dalvik in stock recovery before attempting to install
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] musique101:
No idea how to do that, totally lame ass noob :(

Will do, thanks.

I was able to upgrade from I537UCUCNH3 to I537UCUCNH4 finally, after wipe data/factory reset. Now I'm confused with I537UCUCOC6 (5.0.1), as it states:

Download Link: Official NE3 to OC6 OTA 926MB

Official NH3 to OC6 OTA 972MB

Since I have I537UCUCNH4, Not NE3 or NH4. Which one do I need to download?

__________________________________________________________

I was able to upgrade to I537UCUCOC6!! So excited now......

To start with, I've used the SGH-1537UCUCNE3_v4.4.2_ATT _ALL to downgrade from I537UCUCNH4. I was worried that I might get all kinds of errors me but luckily that didn't happen. After installing NE3, I updated to NH3. Although I saw the download link for " Official NE3 to OC6 OTA 926MB" , but when I was extracting, "! C:\Users\*********\Desktop\Samsung Galaxy S4\NE3toOC6.zip: Unexpected end of archive". popped up. So didn't go that route...being a scaredy cat I'm! hehehe

Anyway, after updating to to NH3, updating to OC6 was piece of cake! :)

I9295 firmware on to of I537 device?

Hello.

[I hope not a stupid] Question first:

Does anyone knows what are the risks (if any exist) of flashing, if it is possible at all, of an I9295 firmware on I537 device ?

Reasons:

A friend bought an I537 for his wife, but she does not handle English too well :rolleyes: ... ... ...

I'd like to know if it can be done and what are the possible consequences of this kind of flashing.

OR

If any one knows of a non testing/beta/development ROM with Hebrew for this device?

If posting on wrong thread please tell me and i'll re-post on the correct one...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Since the bootloader is locked any i9295 ROMs will fail to flash because they are not signed by Samsung properly. For Hebrew, unfortunately I don't know much about getting other languages added to the phone. Hopefully somebody else can help you with that.
