i finnaly got it to take the AP file of mk2. its one of those. mk2 or ml2. sh1t,ive got every firmware there is downloaded. it flashed and now i dont know what to select next. im sittin at mcdonalds usin there wifi. thanx 4 the quick response dude. anyhow,do i need to flash the modem which is CSC???? or BL???? what now???

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 AM ----------

can i reboot or do i need to flash somthin else... i have 40 more minutes until this place closes
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You need to flash all the files at once, you do not flash one at a time. You need to follow the instructions exactly as they are written in the How-To thread. Your Odin screen should look exactly like the screenshot before you hit start.

If you're downgrading to 4.3, flash the other 3 files EXCEPT the bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] harley1rocker:
well sh1t fire son..... i dun got it workin now... wifi is broke tho. what if i towelroot it,install safstrap and reboot to safestrap and use a nand back up to recover.?.?.?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
What firmware did you end up flashing? If you're on 4.3, then it's expected that the WiFi isn't working properly.

For nandroid backups, it has to be the same exact version of android that you made the backup with.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Added links and information for the NH3 firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] harley1rocker:
the only version that would take was the ML2 crap. my dialer and wifi is broke. i cant make calls. i tried a third party app....no go. nuthn but wyphy......

on a side note., i checked for upgrades and its letting me download it... should i let the phone do its thing or kill the upgrade???
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
If you were able to flash ML2, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to flash NE3 unless you've got a bad download or you're doing something wrong. That said, if you let the download continue you'll probably end up on NH3, the newest firmware. Your phone should be fine after that.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] harley1rocker:
Everyone says flash the modules......... What modules???? Is there a link? I sure as hell didnt see em

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

devo, dude i just flashed ne3 comin from ml2 and nothin changed. i left bootloader alone. im gonna fill the BL spot and flash again. it said it passed to. i booted my phone and same exact issue occurs

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

got it dude. son of a *&$%#...... ive rooted and loaded custom roms since 2010. before this s4 active crap it was the tf101 transformer. that WAS the hardest to recover. root. and load a custom rom... i can deff put the s4 active at the top of the list. note,note2,note3,lg devices,tablets of all brands. this phone is a b1tch!!!!. i got it though,still dont understand the modules...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You only need the modules when you're flashing custom ROMs through SafeStrap. The modules allow the custom ROM to interface properly with the stock kernel. For what you're doing, don't worry about the modules.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] harley1rocker:
All is working devo. Let's move forward. I just dl'd the OTA. I assume that's nh3 or sumthn. We're can i navigate to find that file? I've got es file explorer. Will it be listed "OTA"
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] harley1rocker:
Dude, we're the OTA files located?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
At some point you're going to have to read and search. I can't walk you through everything, you need to understand what you're doing and why you're doing it.

If you want to know what firmware you're on, go to About Phone. If you want to know where the OTA file is located, search. If you want to know how to flash firmware, read the How-To thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2835481), it's even been stickied now so it is much easier to find.

Android Lollipop

Any news on lollipop firmware for i537?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] zelendel:
I wouldn't count on it ever coming out. This device is long EOL by att.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I wouldn't count on the i537 getting Lollipop any time soon, based on previous releases I bet it will be at least 3 more months before we see a 5.0 stock ROM for the i537 if we see one at all. Remember the S4 Active was released on June 21, 2013 so it's getting close to the 2-year update window when updates generally stop.

Google released 4.3 on July 24, 2013, the i537 received 4.3 (ML2) on January 7, 2014 = 167 days

Google released 4.4 on October 31, 2013, the i537 received 4.4 (NC9) on April 16, 2014 = 167 days

Google released 5.0 on November 12, 2014, the i537 may receive 5.0 167 days later = April 28, 2015

Any news on lollipop guys?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
If we didn't have a locked bootloader, CM12 was available months ago.

Instead we're stuck waiting for Samsung (bad enough) and AT&T (oh s**t).

I think Devo7v is on to something, Samsung is probably waiting it out until the 2 year window expires -> less work for them. (As much as it pains me to acknowledge that).

From personal experience, don't hold your breath, it's just going to make the waiting that much worse (especially since nearly every other variant/carrier of S4/S5 are getting theirs now).

If I can leave you with the ancient wisdom of one of my favorite Confucian haikus that I definitely did not just pull out my a**:

What about safestrap???pure Nexus 4.4.4 is working well in ne3.any lollipop rom on safestrap?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Samsies I was referring specifically to lollipop :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
In order to run any Lollipop ROMs you're going to need a Lollipop kernel, and unfortunately since you're stuck with a locked bootloader you're not going to be able to flash one until Samsung releases a 5.0 stock ROM. The best you can hope for until then is a KitKat ROM that is skinned to look like Lollipop, you're going to be missing out on all the OS improvements like ART.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yeah that's why I mentioned the bootloader above. Locked bootloader = no lollipop until the real release

is VoLTE supported in 4.4.2 on AT& version or do we have to wait for 5.0 ?

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Having problems to upgrade to 4.4.2.

(Now running 4.2.2)

My ATT S4 active was rooted. Now un-rooted via Kingo and showing "official'under Status.

After going to settings and 'update' - i downloaded the latest software OTA from AT&T.

After 100% was downloaded - I received a prompt to 're start' in order to install the downloaded update.

Restarted the phone and after about 30% of the install - I received a message ' install/update interrupted"

and the phone just restarted.

Went to setting/about and of course I see that I am still stuck at 4.2.2.

When I tried to do this again I received a prompt that 'my software is 'up to date' and I should check again in 24 hours.

Went to recovery mode and tried to wipe the cache, but after doing the selection via the power button it just showed "Error!" so I do not think it wiped the cache..

I need to move up from 4.2 in order to use Samsung Gear.

Frustrated ! Please advise how I can upgrade. Thx in advance.

PS: tried to do the update also via KIES - 3.0 shows "The connected device is not supported by Kies 3".

I guess sit is because it is AT&T.

=======

moved Time forward manually by1 day on the phone and downloading the OTA update again.

After the full download, re-start I received a message "update failed' at 28%

Anyone tried to go to BEST BUY Samsung store and have them flash the latest software?

I was successful doing this with Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 in BEST BUY.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Once you root your phone you cannot install OTA updates even if you unroot. When you root you modify some files and when you unroot you modify them once again and they are not the same as the original file. The OTA updater checks all the files on your phone to make sure they are the original files before it installs the update. This is why your phone fails to install the OTA. There is no way for you to install the OTA without flashing your phone back to stock.

As for Kies, AT&T will not let Samsung push firmware through Kies, so I wouldn't even bother with it anymore.

You have 2 options: you can follow the guide on here and update the firmware, but it will wipe your phone, or you can go to Best Buy and they will update your phone without wiping your files. Just make sure you don't tell them that your rooted or modified your phone in any way. Some people reported that they rooted their phone and Best Buy refused to touch their phone. Whatever you decide, good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] WatchFan1:
Understood 100% regarding rooting - unrooting and no mo' OTA and not to bother with Kies.

I do not feel like wiping the whole phone, so I will try BB first before I go flashing route.

Thank you VERY much for your clear and helpful answer......much appreciated !!

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bethuel:

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Because you're almost to the end of the two year window that AT&T supports phones. The phone came out at the end of June, so I would guess AT&T it's just going to hold off until June and then say that the phone is no longer supported.

As soon as somebody posts a link to the OTA file, I'll update the OP as well as the others.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
My i537 is rooted on a custom rom. Can I Odin back to stock NH3 and pull the OTA for you? Or should I wait until a little later, my brother has an unmodified i537 on NH3, should I try to pull the OTA from his phone instead? Lastly, although I think I have an idea, how exactly do you capture and pull the OTA? Going from my gut and what little I remember, I'll have to use adb to pull the .cfg from /cache/ or /cache/fota/ something like that, am I on the right track?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
In order to download the OTA, you're going to have to be on a stock ROM and rooted. For your phone you're going to have to flash the NE3 firmware, but I don't think you'll need to be on NH3 specifically.

Make sure you are already rooted, otherwise your phone will upgrade without you copying the OTA.

Once you're on NE3 the phone should automatically download the update and prompt you to install it.

Once it does, open up your root explorer and browse to /cache/fota/ (I could be wrong about this, but just search for the fota folder), and there should be '2400258.cfg' this is the file you need to copy off your phone. You don't necessarily need ADB to do this, you can do it all on the phone if you're rooted, but if you're comfortable with ADB, go for it.

Once you've got it copied to a safe location you can attempt to install the update, but I'm 99% sure it will fail since you're rooted. On the off chance the update does go through, you will be stuck on OC6 without any way to root or downgrade at the moment. Also, if the upgrade succeeds, the cfg file will be automatically deleted which is why it's important to copy the file off the phone before the installation begins.

If you want to use your brother's phone, you will need to root it first and then follow the instructions above. Since you've rooted, he will be unable to upgrade until you flash the phone back to stock at which point the phone will be completely wiped.

You have the right idea, but I just wanted to make you aware of the caveats before you try to pull the update file.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Thanks a bunch, you're the man. I'm downloading the OTA now, unfortunately it's excruciatingly slow. Will report back once I have it for you
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
What firmware are you downloading the update on? If you're on NE3, once the download is complete you might want to check the MD5 against the ones posted in the OP to make sure it's not just the NH3 update.

If you're already on NH3, then bring on the file!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Both, it's a race! Lol

First started on NH3 then when I saw it was taking forever I figured I'd give it a shot on NE3 since I was impatient
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Sorry it's taking so long, the first one to finish downloading did so when I wasn't watching it (seriously left it alone for all of two minutes) so it went ahead and updated itself, fortunately that wasn't my phone, now my phone is downloading it, will share once I have it. Man this download takes forever

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
That probably won't happen unless somebody is able to get the firmware directly from Samsung. I have no idea how we got the MF1, ML2, or NE3 full packages, but hopefully whoever found them could help us out one last time.

EDIT: [MENTION=1058047]dynamiclynk[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5753905]dkeepitabuck[/MENTION] do either of you think you'd be able to find the full Odin package for the new OC6 firmware?

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
So to put 5.0 on the active it is as easy as downloading the file, renaming to update.zip and flashing in stock recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You need to extract the cfg file inside and rename to update.zip first, but yes it is that easy. There are 2 caveats to that method though:

You need to be on stock, unrooted NH3; and

You cannot root the OC6 firmware.

If you want rooted OC6 firmware you need to follow the instructions to retain root when updating with FlashFire.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
The cfg file is the one in the op correct? Rename it update.zip.

Root is not a worry. Its my daughters phone.
