I've managed to install the update by taking out the sd card from the antminer s4 and replacing the 'initramfs.bin.SD' with the new firmware's version of 'initramfs.bin.SD'.
It still has the same issue of not mining what it says its mining.. :l
I wonder if that updates everything that needs to be updated. Might try later if I go back out to my garage.
This method of updating the firmware was recommended by bitmain when i had an issue with the s2
