This has happened to me in the past, a simple factory data reset will allow for a new check. If you have difficulty with obtaining it via the update then easiest way is to flash it manually via stock recovery thru instructions in the OP.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mavfx:
In my case, even with a Factory Reset not worked getting the OTA Update, I did everything all manually.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] xAjCx:
I did everything, the whole flash via stock recovery but when it booted up, I was still on 4.3 ML2

I need an odin version for 4.4.2, is there any available?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
[MENTION=5455119]xAjCx[/MENTION], I would perform a full factory data reset including a cache wipe under stock recovery, then enable USB debugging and try flashing the 4.3 ML2 ODIN package and then try the NE3 config (update.zip) flash again.

No ODIN package at this time, may never be one so only option is to flash the OTA config renamed to update.zip via stock recovery.

i537 MF1 to 4.4.2??

How can I get my MF1 (I rooted my phone, then reverted to this firmware, without realizing it was not able to update) updated to 4.4.2? Do I have to update to each version or can I just straight-up UPDATE to the newest version? I don't want to brick my phone, so hope I can get some input.Had no luck searching, either here or elsewhere.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
Where were you (build) before you rooted? To answer your question though for updating to 4.4.2 you would have to incrementally update i.e. 4.22 > 4.3 > 4.4.2. Backup what you need and do a full factory data reset and PM me on where you are, I'll try and assist you from there.

4.2.2 to 4.4.2

I was on the stock 4.2.2 (Galaxy S4 Active). I rooted it, then figured I had no need to (some of the apps and features it opened up slowed my phone way down, so I just wanted to start from scratch again) so un-rooted by flashing back to 4.2.2. Stupid me, however, I downloaded the firmware i537UCUAMF1, which doesn't update (which I found out by constantly trying to update OTA to 4.4.2, but kept getting a "Your software is up to date" message).

SO... is there a particular firmware I have to download, or just 4.3 for the S4Active? After I update to that, I do another update to 4.4.2, correct?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Once you flash the ML2 firmware you can take the 4.4.2 update our you can manually flash it yourself.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] xAjCx:
supposedly that's all you need to do but I am having some trouble getting the 4.4.2 to push even after flashing ML2 via Odin. I just get the "You are on latest software, try again in 24 hours." -ticktock- still same problem and then I tried to flash the 445MB OTA via stock recovery renamed as UPDATE.zip and after flash it was still on ML2.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jkeuclid:
Did you flash all 4 ML2 files?

Update to kitkat

Hi, I have a S4 Active I537 AT & T with MF3 Jelly Bean 4.2.2, rooted with Towelroot, I want to know what steps I should take to upgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat NE3, but I also want to return to the Jelly Bean for errors. I saw that some have problems with signal of the wifi and gps, eh even with the network, after flashing to ML2 with Odin (4 files).
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Once you flash the ML2 bootloader there is no going back; at this time it is impossible to downgrade the bootloader. As far as issues with 4.4.2, I think you're referring to bugs with the NC9 firmware. Since people have updated to NE3, I haven't heard of anybody reporting bugs. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how stable NE3 is. That said, I'm still on MF3, so I just relating what I've read.

HELP!

Hello I bought a S4 active (i537) from a friend who rooted it and didn't know how to unroot it... I've been reading on here and trying things but no luck with odin.

It's running on 4.4.2; Baseband Version: I537UCUCNC9; Build Number: KOT49H.I537UCUCNC9;and it says the device status is "custom".

I downloaded the "I537UCUBML2.7z" file and tried flashing it through Odin but it keeps saying failed. I have no idea to make it work or to get this phone off of the custom firmware and onto the newest firmware for this phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! As of now the phone will not boot up into anything other than download mode.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You need to flash the ML2 Odin package minus the bootloader. Basically, in Odin make sure you have the other 3 files loaded and not the bootloader and it should flash just fine. Then download and flash the NE3 OTA and you'll be on the latest stock firmware, unrooted. Off you decide you want to root, then use towelroot when you're done.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was freaking out here.

Hi, This procedure will work with I537 with 4.2.2 MF3?, Do the files you downloaded are the 4.3 ODIN PACKAGE (torrent)?

Started with 4.2.2 custom. Upgraded using Odin and I'm now at 4.3 unrooted.

I downloaded the ML2 to NE3 444mb filed named 2400258.cfg. and did a recovery mode update by renaming it update.zip. Which should put me at 4.4.2. Why is it still 4.3 in the settings?

I also noticed the the download in the link for ML2 to NE3 is also the name name as the download in the 4-16-14 Official release as well as the Android 4.3 release above that. Am I missing something? Sure they're all different sizes. Could have atleast named them all differently.

Will keep messing with it until it works or someone here knows what I should be doing.

Update 4.2.2 mf3 to 4.4.2 ne3

Is it safe to update with Odin? Because bricks mentioned xD . I wonder which package should continue to update via Odin, I downloaded the 1.3GB (torrent), proceed to unzip 4 files that are inserted into Odin (BL, AP, CSC, CP), but have read in forums that some have problems as the network signal and wifi, which they say is by the bootloader. Did you have the phone in 4.2.2 MF3?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You only run into the signal and wifi issues if you are flashing ML2 to a phone that was on NC9 or NE3, and yes the reason for this is because of the ML2 bootloader. NC9 and NE3 have the new 4.4.2 bootloader, so you cannot downgrade and flash the ML2 bootloader. This is the reason for the signal and wifi issues, because the ML2 firmware is looking for the ML2 bootloader, but since you are unable to downgrade the 4.4.2 bootloader, you end up with some bugs. Your only option is to flash one of the 4.4.2 OTA updates.

If you're on MF1, MF2, MF3, or ML2 then flashing the ML2 Odin package, bootloader and all, should not cause any problems.

As for Odin, as long as the phones doesn't get unplugged while flashing the bootloader, you can always flash firmware to it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] briubirod:

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You need to reflash ML2 since you modified system files by rooting.

Rename the .cfg file to "update.zip"

Put it on your phone.

Boot into recovery

Select apply update from sdcard

Select update.zip and select apply

Your phone should not be installing the NE3 OTA file. Alternatively you can boot your phone up, go to Settings->More->About device->Software update and it should start downloading and installing the OTA by itself if your have your WiFi turned on.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
To answer your questions:

You can update by selecting "Software update" on your phone and the phone will download and install NE3 by itself if you have WiFi on.

You can update by renaming the .cfg file to "update.zip" and flashing it in recovery manually.

You don't need to have your SIM card in to flash files in recovery. That said, I believe you have to have your AT&T SIM card in the phone in order for the phone to update itself.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Sincereless:
Yes Briu. That is the "Supposed" method. Using Odin to get to ML2 android 4.3 is safe. The process of getting to 4.4.2 with that file is the broken part of this whole situation. It seems finding someone with an ATT sim card aftering getting to ML2 4.3 is the next best thing if you can't get any of the 4.4 roms and updates to stick.

Got a good night's rest and plan to spend this entire night flashing and updating over and over and over..T.T

Sidenote: Quickest way to root "Towel Root"'s website on the phone. Needed to flash some of these roms on the S4 Active forum. Could get Carbon to work.(Really complicated process) Trying Beanstalk next.

Is there anyone running stock kitkat who would be willing to pull /system files for me? I'm working on a few patches; the update.zip doesn't contain everything.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Sincereless:
As of 7-9-14. Below is the proper method to upgrading partially to 4.4.2. (TLDR version: You have to install in a ladder process. Each and every update from where you're at.

Step One: Volume -, Home button, and Power button when phone is off. Plug to computer. Use Odin (Version I ran, 3.07) from MF3 Android 4.2.2 to ML2 Android 4.3(BL = Bootloader,Phone = AP, CP = CP, CSC = CSC)(Takes 15 minutes)

Step Two: Download the .cfg file for NC9(Should be 426 MB)............... Rename to update.zip and place on your SD card. Press Volume + and Power until blue line of text in the top left. Install from SD and select the update.zip.(Takes 7 minutes)

Step Three: Download the next .cfg file which is NE3(Should be 66MB) Rename to update.zip and place on your SD card. Press Volume + and Power until blue line of text in the top left. Install from SD and select the update.zip.(Takes 2 minutes)

Verify you're on 4.4.2 with the baseband saying NE3

I couldn't get Step 3 to work regardless of other NE3 OTA updates from other sources. I'm happy atleast being on 4.4.2. Will keep looking into getting to NE3 from NC9.

OK,I bought my device in mid November for Xmas gift. Since the beginning of the year, I decided to use one of the perks. Low and behold I am charged. I try to contact the company involved and they say that they only provide a limited trial. But Samsung states the trial period is much longer. I contacted Samsung abouot my issue, and wonder what I was not sent during my registration. I own many Samsung devices and have had my account since late 2008. So I know my account registered the device and should have had some details in regards to perks. The only thing I got was a one time webpage with a Google play code for my credits, everything else was just unlinked information for all new subscribers to the perks.

Has anyone dealt with perks and have any ideas to resolve such issues? I don't want to be charged for something I am trying out.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Possible fix

Well, I finally an answer back from the second point of contact... they stated that they normally don't support tablet but offer support through phone service. Any way now I must call Samsung support to run through the issue one more time, so they can figure out what to do.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Some head way

OK, got done with my call to Samsung.

I learned not to register the device through your Samsung account devices page. I have many Samsung items through the years, as I had learned it is easy to go and register that way.

The proper link is http://www.samsung.com/us/register-for-your-galaxy-perks/#note-8 for the Note 8.0

Also for some odd reason they want a google email account, which I never had until after registering. Take note that if you have an existing Samsung account, the email address needed for registration completion is your gmail email address.

I wish web developers had a brain, this is not the first time I have seen such a broken way cross linking account information, just annoys the krappa out of me.

Now to fix the issue with Samung Link unable to fetch account authentication information with my Samsung account. Yes, I deleted and recreated the Samsung account many many times. Just another annoying issue. :o(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
While waiting...

OK, while I had some time, I fixed my Samsung link issue... had to make it a system app. Samsung loaded PS Touch, and Samsung Link need to be kept as system apps. Though most of all the system apps can be removed and side loaded for Google Play to manage install/removal processes. I prefer it that way for reloads and memory management outside of using Titanium Backup. The less utilities to perform tasks the better. Somebody should do a right up on using built in function to perform most all needs, instead of finding more apps to do what you can do on your own and without rooting.

I doubt I'll ever fix the Video Hub issue... seems that it is getting info from Samsung servers about the device. If the device does not match the white list at the authentication server, your a no go at getting content. At one time the Note 8.0 was in the white list, now it looks like it is region select and will check firmware along with device.

I have an app to fake the ID and location, but Video Hub is not a concern just an odd app that has some interesting features that go beyond google play hardware requirements.
