Does anyone know why update check never comes back with a negative or positive response?
When I check for update it continues to check until I cancel it.
It is rooted with stock rom 4.1.2 and recovery I use triangle away to reset the counter. If I don't reset it says can't check for updates because it is modified.

I have a s4 active for att well I changed the build prop because I didn't like the 4g I changed it to i9505 so I can get the h+ ok well I did a factory reset and it will start to a degree but when you shut it off its in a bootloop and the only way to get into the settings is to factory reset it..... is there a way I can get it functioning again ?

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

Please use more descriptive titles in your posts so that others with similar problems who actually use the search can find it. "help plz" is useless for the search function.
So after just chatting with Samsung support in twitter, all they finished saying was we hope to have a solution available soon regarding no Kies firmware recovery. So after that , for the heck of it I open Kies 3 and update it. Now when I put in our device model no. and my serial number, it prompts me as show in attached image. I think we have a backup. Have not tried it because it will factory reset, does anyone want to give it a try for the team an confirm?
idk, after looking further it seems it may just do a factory reset, idk, might need someone to test.
I swore I tried this before and it said not supported.
Thanks.
Now to try to pull an .md5 from /temp ... hmmm..
Firmware UPGRADE will not initialize and is typically designated by ATT FOTA instead.
I would love to but can't until Friday.

Still only MI9
Kies webpage says Kies 3 supports : Note 3 and devices running 4.3
@ still on MI9, probably wont get OTA's from Kies, only FOTA from device, try setting your date 2 days ahead and recheck, reboot, etc..
No there still is no MJ5 i tried on my bricked SM-900A, i hope there is a solution coming
I just updated, no go.
Nope...No go
Is there a file I can download and flash through the stock recovery to go back to stock?
I am away from my computer and when I try to install the latest update I get "error: sys/tmp/seclauncher4.odex " I don't remember all the words, but that was the main part. that is where the NB4 update fails.
I have factory reset and unrooted hut I'm assuming something broke during all of that. Any help is appreciated.

To my knowledge, if you are unable to use your pc, you need to visit a Samsung store, or Samsung Experience at Best Buy. They've saved me more than once.

Thanks for the reply. This is what I have also gathered. I was able to do the restore with heimdall and install the latest update

As the title says I can't get rid of the super user icon on the official kitkat. Does anyone know a fix for this? I have super user but no root.

You could try going to best buy and have them flash it... Other than that as of now no. There isn't a way

You can only disable the app by going to System-App- and click disable. To 'get rid' of the app will require root but unfortunately there is no such thing as of now

did you try uninstalling it from inside the playstore app?

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.

Since your build number is saying nce i'd say no, theres some odin flashable ng3 files in the general section if you want to give that a shot, i personally dont think im very qualified to give suggestions as far as that goes though, so i'd wait for further instruction from someone who knows more than me.
Sent from my SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Yeah, kernel and build number don't look up to date. I'd think you could follow the guide to odin back to the nc3 completely and try the ota again, or use the ng3 stock rooted firmware available to odin everything up to current (but with root). I looked for stock unrooted ng3 and couldn't find it, although it may be available too.

Go to this thread and download the NG3 update and save it to your ex sd card then go to stock recovery and select install from ex sd card and you'll be good to go
