I hope that you’be managed to update your device and that now you can start testing the latest Android 4.2.2 build. If ODIN freezes or the update files aren’t flashed successfully, then you should disconnect the phone from PC, then close ODIN, re-open Odin and then repeat the entire tutorial once again. Make sure not to skip any steps that I’ve listed above as that will result in a failed attempt.
If ODIN says that the installation was completed, but the Galaxy S4 LTE doesn’t go past the Samsung boot animation screen, then you will need to apply a factory reset. This will delete all contents from your device but it will force the device to boot into normal mode. Here’s how to do it:

• power off the Galaxy S4 LTE completely.
• boot it into stock Recovery Mode.
• select the ‘wipe data/ factory reset’ option and confirm the process.
• return to the main stock recovery screen and select ‘reboot system now’.
• wait for your device to boot into normal mode.
• enter your Google Account details and that should be all.
