What version of the S4 Active do you have? In your description you said you have the AT&T version (SGH-i537), but you signature says you have the international version (GT-i9295). If you have to factory reset each time you might just want to reflash the firmware and start from scratch.
If you have the i537, you can Odin back to MF1, but you will lose the ability to receive OTA updates. There is also a leaked version of 4.3 (MI2), but the thinking is that since it's an early build there is no way to receive OTA updates either.
If you want the latest AT&T firmware (MF3) with the ability to receive updates, you will have to go to a Best Buy and they can reflash your phone for you. You can read more about this here.
If you have the i9295, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and seach for "i9295". Then select your country and you'll be on the latest firmware with the ability to receive updates.
Maybe somebody more knowledgeable than me can will have some other ideas.

If you read what he wrote he said that he has to factory reset to even get it to boot up, that why I suggested Odin back to stock and start from scratch where you know everything will work properly.

I just want to make sure that you're aware you will not be able to receive official OTA updates if you go back to MF1. We will most likely receive an update to Android 4.3 within the next month and if you are on MF1 odds are you will not be able to take the update. This is the only reason I've been avoiding doing anything too crazy to my stock ROM (MF3) other than rooting. If your interested in flashing ROMs and MODs, you might want to take a look at SafeStrap, it will allow you to boot multiple ROMs.
I'm not concerned about that I had the phone sold and when I did the factory reset it went into a bootloop so all I want to do is get a working phone and sell it and the next person can worry about the updates

i knew JB isnt released yet.... but even when i press update it doesnt find anything....... how do i push it either on kies or the device itself to find this update?
push it thru kies. Whatever system updates you said you have on OTA.. you will find it back in PC KIES. It will just push those system updates back to your Note.
You can either do that or check for manual update and clear software update data from Settings>Manage Applications>All>Software update>clear
There will be two applications in same name. be sure to clear data for both. You can now get notifications only when you manually check for updates. :good::good:
But if one would decide to get the update - if I am rooted: will I lose root?
I know I can use mobile odin to retain root but then I need to put the whole 900MB update from sammobile and restore all my apps most likely

If the update file is more than 50MB.. likely scenario is... you will lose root. You can try to gain root back by flashing ICS kernel e.g. Notecore or speedmod. Don't forget always make sure you have all your apps backup thru titanium backup. I know there's a slim chance of the stock update firmware wiping or removing all your apps. Most likely all your apps would still be there after the upgrade or update(Unless your going to manually reset your phone). In any case, just to make sure and in every case, always make a backup of your files.
Cheers!
first thing is that im rooted and tried to update the small "pre kitkat" update and all goes good til it gets to 25% then it says update fails and ive searched til i cant go anymore about ways to fix it so my question is that can att force update my phone to kitkat or should i wait til ss is updated for kitkat and if thats the case will i be able to flash in rom slot one and leave the stock slot alone ? im new to all this flashing roms and i dont have a computer so im trying to do everything from my phone any and all suggestions will help.

Borrow a friend's pc or go to a library and use Samsung Kies, but you will lose root.
This is most likely because you deleted some the system apps that came with the stock rom..... This is why I never delete them only freeze with titanium backup! This happen to me on Ml9 so I had to restore stock rom reroot put super su in survival mode and then take the update!

Kies is just going to tell you that your firmware is up to date. Either factory reset or you may have to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715 < This is how I had to do it.
So if I am rooted and deleted the AT&T bloat apps, I can't install the KitKit update? What I unroot completely? I know that won't bring back the garbage AT&T apps back, but would I be able to OTA to kitkat then?

You will not be able to ota unless you do a full restore. You also must have att sim card. At&t is just dirty like that.

Wow. Anyway, I was rooted, but had Wanam installed and successfully updated to Nb4. I had the fake system status set to official. I was alwasy under the impression if it said Official you could update.
And great, because now we all have to follow a really complicated guide to restore back to MJ5 if we want kitkat.
I was rooted on mj5 no wanam or anything and my phone update to nb4
It didn't even ask.
What you probably did was delete the att update software so now it's not even looking.

I don't think being rooted affects your updating. I have read many people accidentally updating and loosing their root. If you couldn't update with root, people wouldn't freeze at&t update.
ive tried unrooting factory reset andthe only thing i can think of is that ive deleted something . i guess the lesson learned is juat freeze apps instead of deleting them

I'm experiencing the same issue, and no - since the phone thinks it's a system app, it will not let you completely uninstall it. It will however give you the option to uninstall any updates.

Has this been done? I mean re-flash a stock NC2 over NC2 with the upgraded bootloader? If so, this will definitely get rid of that pesky SU app! Also, if it can be done, what do I say to the Samsung tech nerds about why i want it flashed?
Just asking.
Sounds like you're stuck with even more useless bloat then most.
Go to your nearest Samsung kiosk at your best buy and they will redo the update and that will get rid of the superuser files and all files associated with root. I just went and I'm root anything free. How I know is I used isis and didn't get the your phone is rooted message. Good Luck. O PS you won't loose anything meaning their update don't wipe your phone back to factory. But just in case do a BACKUP.

Thanks guys for all you replies. Will try going to best buy soon to see if they can do it for me.

Going bestbuy in your current state won't work. They are only able to do a update or emergency recovery to NC2, so you will still be stuck with non-working SuperSU still under /system/app even after reflashing. Unfortunately they don't have full factory reset image for 4.4.2 NC2 yet as of 5/17/2014.
What I did to remove that is to flash leaked Kitkat MLG with NC2 bootloader (look for the thread posted by Carl) using Odin, and this will wipe everything out. Then go to Bestbuy Samsung and update to NC2. This is the only way to remove SuperSU or any junk left behind.
As a precaution I did factory reset after I got mine updated to NC2 and after installing some stuff my PlayStore dissappeared so I had to do a factory reset another time. Now I think everything is pure stock.
And you don't have to make up any excuses about why you want it reflashed. Just tell them you had it rooted and now because att MFs locked down everything so bad you couldn't even get rid of it without flashing with leaked Kitkat. Samsung guys are there to help you.
I'm never going to buy another At&t crap again.

I'm going to have to disagree with you since I was in the same boat as the OP. I went to Best Buy Samsung and they did the update from Samsung site and it wiped out all traces of root files and supersu. They first had to download the update from Samsung site and then they connected my note 3 on nc2 with superus still there. Once they finished I checked my disabled apps and superus was no longer listed. I did a complete factory restore to verify it worked and superus was nowhere to be found. Not sure what is different from AT&T update and Samsung but Samsung version completely wipes out root.

He's factory reset it a few times already. I just instructed him to download NCE and flash via Odin. He did and is on NCE now, he checked for updates and of course there is a update.. he's updating now, I'm sure he'll have to go update to update til he gets back to where he was on 4.4.2 and then we'll see if the update he was originally trying but kept failing actually goes thru this time.. he's gonna text/call be soon with the results. I'll update with his progress soon.

OK.. what I gathered was:
Downgrade to NCE (using the downgrade_to_nce file) via odin
Then just sideload the nce_to_ng3, then the ng3_to_oa1 via stock recovery ..
That should bring him to the latest stock unrooted OA1? Or will he have to go back and flash the kernels as well ? I got him doing the downgrade and side loading the other 2 otas right now. So I guess we'll find out soon enough.. what a bunch of BS you gotta go through on the S5 AND its a locked bootloader?? SO glad I got a N4 instead of a S5 lol

I think that you are over complicating the process of upgrading to 4.4.4 . Mine originally failed trying to pull the OTA from AT&T. However my phone was extremely de-bloated stock rom(NG3). Muniz's safestrap upgrade to 4.4.4 worked flawless for me. As long as you are confident using safestrap I recommend that, and plus it will be rooted when you are done.

Cricket can't give you updates for a phone it didn't sell. You can use Odin to update your device if you want to. If you're willing to root your device, then you can get rid of the nagging.

It's pretty hard to brick (as in I haven't heard of anyone not being able to recover) because you can just use Odin to go back to stock. Just use Odin to root/add TWRP. I think if you're on 5.1.1 you have to also use a different kernel. Instructions should be with the root thread. Just follow the directions and you will be fine.

There is a system-less root method available that does not require a custom kernel. Don't know why you keep getting the update message, as 5.1.1 is the current version. Root is very easy on this phone, plus you can enable tethering on Cricket. As said above, it is almost impossible(almost) to actually brick this phone.

There is a system-less root method available that does not require a custom kernel. Don't know why you keep getting the update message, as 5.1.1 is the current version. Root is very easy on this phone, plus you can enable tethering on Cricket. As said above, it is almost impossible(almost) to actually brick this phone.
