[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Restore to it's factory firmware

Hello i bought a couple of day ago a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 from France.
I'm from Greece so i thought it would be good to install the greek firmware...
Now i try to restore to the french firmware but with no luck. Neither Kies nor odin works...
With kies i tried Factory restore and initialiazation but it didn't work.
And odin keeps giving me an "AUTH error".
But everytime odin soft bricks my phone(trying to install the french version), it installs the greek like a charm.
Could anyone please help me?
PS: 1) French firmware (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar)
2) Greek Firmware (I9505XXUDMH6_I9505OXXDMH4_I9505XXUDMH6_HOME.tar)
3) my phone is factory unlocked

The Greek firmware is newer than the french and you cant flash back to older firmware on the S4 only to newer.
Btw why do you want to go back to the french? Im asking because i have the German one and was thinking of flashing the Greek. Is the Greek not working well?
you cannot downgrade as mga firmware is knox free and mh6 firmware contains knox you need to flash a newer french firmware .

So i have to wait until 4.3 to flash to french firmware?
Isn't there any way to downgrade?
i actually read someplace that any firmware starting with mgg or newer could be flashed over a knox firmware . so you could flash a french firmware ending with mgg or mh1 or mh5 . an mh8 will work for sure.

[Q] Upgrade to 4.4.2 via odin with firmware with a different CSC code ..

Hi,
Via OTA and Kies there is still no upgradet 4.4.2 available ...
CSC code is MJ8 (BOG) --> Bouygues Télécom France.
My phone is an I9505 ... I suppose I can just use Odin to flash another 4.4.2 firmware for the I9505 with a different CSC code?
I used to do some modding with previous phones ... but so far I 've only been using a 'standard' S4. Thus therefore I would like to get confirmation from some people who have more experience with flashing S4 phones.
Better wait for OTA or KIES 3 update android 4.4.2. Your phone is branded to one company.

That's the point firmware is not yet available via OTA or KIES 3. The phone is most certainly branded ... it contained some french apps which I never use out-of-the-box. I don't care about loosing these apps.
Question is will I encounter problems when I flash with another french, british, dutch, ... firmware?
Personally I don't think so ... If you can only flash the original firmware then sites like sammobile.com which host all different original firmwares dont have a reason to exist?
Or am I wrong?

The matter is your CSC. CSC is the Country/Carrier Specific Code. It contains the files for customisation for specific networks, so will have the APN settings, maybe custom ringtones or backgrounds, and can have programs too. Some CSC files contain a lot more than others, hence the file size differences. Atm only Russia (CSC: SER) and India (CSC: INU) released android 5.0.1 (pic attached). You don't gonna receive OTA updates if you don't own this CSC or you flash that firmware directly via ODIN.
