I've had an S4 active (I92 hanging around for about 2 years now that got shipped back to me by mistake. I haven't needed to turn it on since getting it, but now I've got a broken screen on the one I use and would rather switch to the one with an intact screen. It got shipped back to me with 4.2.2 on it, and I can't seem to figure out how to update it. So far what I've tried has been unsuccessful, and I would love some advice. Do I have to go to 4.3 then 4.4.2 then 5.0.1 or what?
Thank you for any help!

I just got my One a week ago today, and rooted it the first day as well. From last Wednesday to earlier today, I've had no issues at all with it; suddenly, audio is not working at all, either through the headphone jack or speakers. I thought it might be a ROM issue, so I reflashed the ROM clean (PACMan 4.2.2), and it still didn't work. I flashed 2 other ROMs, SlimBean and a Sense 4.2.2 based one, and the audio still doesn't work at all. I've done nothing that could've damaged it; I don't overclock, it's never gotten wet, nothing. Has anyone else had this issue, and know a fix, or do I have to return it to stock and turn it back into Sprint?
Also, another note- earlier today it was getting really hot for no reason- I wasn't running anything that would do that, no OC like I said. I Googled, and many people said it was a common occurrence due to the aluminum body dispelling heat from the internals. It went away after 20 minutes or so, so I figured it wasn't an issue. Could that have done some damage? Thank you for any help in this, I'm really worried since I just got the phone and it's already having issues. I've loved it otherwise so far, and owned 3 other HTC phones, and nothing like this has happened before, so I hope it's just a one time thing.
I don't have the audio issue with any rom I flashed, maybe your device is damaged. You can return it for a new one.
I also have the heat problem...

I've been backing up my stuff to get it ready to take back. I hear the blue model's coming to Sprint on the 10th, maybe I can hold out a few more days and pick up one of those
Update- I've been trying all morning to restore to stock, and I'm getting worried now.
I went by this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904 to use that RUU to return to stock. I am trying to relock my bootloader in fastboot, and I get the error "[Err] Command Error!" each time I try. To use the RUU, I need to have a locked bootloader, but I can't get a locked bootloader because of that error. What might be wrong here? I am using the stock USB cable with a USB 2.0 port, Windows 7 32 bit.
Alright, it turns out that was due to a stupid error on my part. I have got my bootloader relocked, but now when I try to flash the RUU, I get the 171 USB Connection error. It'll get stuck on the black HTC screen at that point. What could possibly be wrong now?!?! If anyone has any tips, I can provide as much further information as you may need.
I don't know if any of you have this issue from 4.3, but from 4.3 the apps in my phone crashed randomly, which would lead to the entire phone crashing.
This is a new S4A phone that I received from insurance company after I lost my 4.2.2 S4A, which ran faultlessly with custom launchers and rooted.
So this new phone I dare not to run anything special but still the phone apps crashed randomly and regularly on the first day that I received.
I soon returned the phone to ATT store, but they only re-flash the stock ROM, SLOWLY ( It took them 2 weeks of time to give it back to me even with every other day phone harassment from me )
That didn't solve my problem as later I encountered app crashing again and I've ran MULTIPLE Odin to re-flash the offical 4.3 ATT ROM, and factory reset myself - almost everything but they didn't help at all.
Then I tried this new update to 4.4.2, and like the 4.3 I tried to play it safe by not going to use any launchers or root it, not even to turn off the bloatwares when I was giving the option to, but now I find out I'm getting the same issue. :crying:
Is this software problem or hardware problem of my new phone ? I don't want to give the phone to the ATT store again with that slow service, I'll rather try to solve this problem by myself if anyone knows how.
I have an i537 running 4.2.2.JB rooted and Ive been trying to figure out how to get to 4.4 hell even 4.3 would be nice. I tried going to Best Buy and having Samsung force an update, but I think the Samsung guys have about as much knowledge on the subject as I do. Rep said he was going to completely reset my phone back to stock firmware, but I think he ended up trying to push 4.4KK. As soon as the phone started rebooting I could see purple and pink burn in on the AT&T screen. Once booted I can use my physical buttons to get to the home screen but after that.... blegh nothing. If somebody could point me in the right direction it would definitely be appreciated.
Idk what's the problem with Samsung phones and updates. I had the same problem with my Note 3 when KitKat got released, I had to get a replacement phone. Lucky for me the replacements Note 3 didn't have the update on it. However I wasn't so lucky with the Note 4.
I accidently hit the update on my notifications when I was half sleep.
Anyways.
Every since Lollipop been installed on my Note 4, it has been a nightmare from hell.
When I installed it on my original Note 4, I kept having my keyboard become unresponsive. Force close on multiple apps (stock Web, camera, calender, and more).
I called T-Mobile to see if they could send me a replacement. They "tried" to fix it, saying that I should do a factory reset and clear cache , which I already tried before I called numerous times.
Finally they said they said they were going to send me out a replacement phone.
I also asked if anyone have been complaining about Lollipop they said no, they were totally oblivious to Lollipop having any kinks (as always ). It's crazy they said that because I have read over 100 post bashing the new update.
I received the Note 4. I turned the phone on and Lollipop was already installed. I called T-Mobile and asked why was Lollipop installed on my replacement, they informed me that they are sending out the phones with Lollipop, and assured there would be no problems with it.
With in the first hour, my phone would turn off and not turn back on. I knew there was nothing wrong with the battery because it was on 90% and it worked flawless with another phone. So I drained all the electricity out the phone and put the battery back in. That worked, but it did over 20 times within that day. I called T-Mobile again , they told me I would have to go to a store and see if they could diagnosis the phone.
The next day I went to the store, everything came back clear on the diagnosis, but they could see it turn off randomly.
I called customer care and explained the situation and told them I need a replacement.
Now I am waiting on a replacement. If this one don't work, I think I will have to get on whole different phone. I'm on the verge of getting a flip phone because I know that I don't want to have an iPhone.
Anyone having these issues with the update Lollipop?
I've never heard about an update getting positive reviews from users, most get bashed.
Fortunately I don't have those issues, nor have I had any with updates. Have you tried to odin the stock firmware? That's all I can really think of.

It seems like I tried everything. I haven't tried that though. I will try that today, if my phone ever boots up.

As long as you can get it into download mode something may be possible.
Odin to stock lollipop, factory reset / data wipe.
Additionally, I would consider a custom rom.
..........
If you really like kitkat better you could also Odin to stock kitkat, factory reset / data wipe.

Lol thanks for the help. I can't even get it to turn on, to get it in download mode. ??
. Now I'm just waiting on T-Mobile to send the replacement.
I guess I never got around to installing TWRP when I rooted my phone because it won't let me install any custom ROM's. I cant find a stock one anywhere that doesn't look really sketchy. Anyone got a good place? Thanks.
Why am I getting a system update on a 3 year old phone anyway? Doesn't LG have better phones to update, but I digress...
UPDATE: Finally found a download that works. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347759872
Phone doesn't get recognized when plugged into computer though, so ****. Guess its finally time to upgrade.
So long LG90 you were good, real good, maybe even the best...
UPDATE: Back in business! Apparently you gotta use a USB port thats directly on the motherboard and not a front one on your case for the LG tool to like it.
