Request: JPF CSC File

Guys, I need help here, I was checking a "return to stock firmware" guide to make sure I can return to my stock JPF before trying Darky's ROM.
I downloaded my JPF ROM (Arabic) from several sources and it only contains the ROM and the modem, no CSC file, and as I understand I will need this file when flashing the stock firmware again, but I searched everywhere and I can't find it.
Please tell me what to do.

You can find a CWM Flashable .zip file of JPF CSC in my ROM Thread, ADDONS SECTION!
Simple and fast!
Sent from my SGS with Simply™ 2.7 Xtreme ROM

Thanks Simon, I have downloaded it, so the installation instructions are:
- Go to recovery make a backup
- Flash the CSC
- Reboot into recovery again and restore backup
Is this correct? Would you know by any chance where could I get the file that I can flash through ODIN when I am restoring the ROM?

You could just use darkys OdIN Rom, there is no need to flash back to original fw, no-one has stock fw on his sgs, even a girl I know has JPY

I need to be able to get back to my stock ROM in case I face any issues with Darky's ROM because it works without a hitch, has good battery life and more importantly it has Arabic interface and Arabic Swype keyboards.
And by the way, the girl comment is not really smart. :/

And by the way, the girl comment is not really smart. :/
Give him credit he knows a girl a whole one of them .
CSC use rom kitchin and generate update.zip with csc in it .

You might as well then build your own rom through the rom kitchin and flash that after backing up your old one .

Hi everyone, i encounter a problem earlier. Basically i rooted my phone days ago and i m still using stock rom without flashing custom roms. So i eager to try out the mod from Omega thread and install the Omega file from google play. After downloaded the mod (for omega rom) of scrolling wallpaper for TW and i flashed it. Booting up my phone with TW not responding, force close. Try again and again still cant boot into menu. I know i m stupid that didn't do a NAND backup before flashing it, and now i m stuck at this force close thing. So i found out out there there is a stock official rom XXUBMEA, i was previously from XXUAME2, can i flash this rom with odin?What is the complete process i need to do to flash this stock rom? Appreciate that you can help me so i can get back my phone!!

It will not delete the setting apps data etc since u are flashing with odin
However after flashing u make whatever data backup u need and reset the device completely so that the csc will match the new firmware and will work with kies

Singapore I9505XXUBMEA firmware is out today. I'm also using the Germany version currently.

Settings file is deleted?

Hello! I rooted my S4 today and installed the CWM recovery and flashed my new rom which is the Foxhound 2.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303239. I have had my older device rooted and i have flashed couple roms with it (huawei ideos x5) and i didn't want to lose all my files and apps from my S4 while flashing this rom, so i didn't do the factory reset thing. I wiped my cache and dalvik cache and then i flashed my rom. As soon as i got it working i was hyped and so on but i noticed that the Settings app was missing. I looked via root explorer and it wasn't in the folder /system/app/. I looked from the magical internet and didn't find anything. Nothing at all. I tried installing some setting.apk's but none of them worked. I downloaded the stock android 4.2.2 rom and copied the settings.apk from there but no, it didn't do anything. I tried also installing those setting apk's but it says 'app not installed'. I had my backup of the android 4.2.2 in my phone but when i tried to restore it to my phone, it said something about m5 sum thing or what it was i don't remember. If you have any clue, please help. I'm lost and i need guidance.
Sorry if there is some bad English, i'm from Finland.

In cwm restore settings, uncheck the check md5 sum. It should then let you restore the nandroid

I messed it up

Download Odin ver 3.07. Download firmware for your device from sammobile.com. It'll be a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in Odin, PDA slot. Only have auto-reboot checked in odin.

1)Downloadimg the stock ROM.....
-Go to sammobile.com.
-Search for your model (i9500) in the firmwares section.
-filter the list by choosing the country you're from.
-Download the latest firmware that exist there.
(if you want to skip the above steps, tell me where are you from and i will get you a good link )
2)Flashing....
-After downloading the firmware, extract it to get the md5 file.
-Download the latest samsung usb drivers and install it(google it).
-Download Odin program (i suggest Odin 3.09 or 3.07)
-Open Odin, and press the button that says PDA or AP in some versions, and load the firmware md5 file.
-Boot into download mode by switching off the phone and holding (power button & home button & volume down) till you get the prompt screen, then press the volume up button once.
-Connect your phone to PC and then check if the Odin log says "Added!!" and then press start.
Wait for it to boot.

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
