Whenever I check for update, it says new update found, but no matter how many times I full wipe or flash the latest update, it says it's on 384.5_beta2.

Ideas?

I've ran into this before, give this a try:
Physically disconnect any usb drive connected to the system. Restart the router, then wait around 5-10 mins. Verify your CPU is near zero & attempt to install the router. If it asks for your login, try installing the software one more time without a restart.

If it's doing the same thing as mine, your router is busy with the attached hard drives or something & it fails to install the firmware.

Could it be related to my NAS Samba issue in this thread?

Tried what you said, still no go :(

There has to be another way. I've been using Merlin's builds for 6 months.
Maybe, but you won't find it here as the discussion about it is not allowed. I'm guessing you got a really great price on that 1900? Now you know a possible reason for that. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.

I just re-did the downgrade/upgrade. On the newest version again.
 
This whole situation is unfortunate. :(

All this does is weaken the security of the internet by making routers difficult, if not impossible, to keep up to date.

Well, theoretically since the router is firmwared to run on a T-Mobile system it would be T-Mobile that would be responsible for keeping the router updated as far as security issues go.
