Still custom in stats

So after rooting my device I decided I didnt like it, I backed it up and then went to settings and reset the device back to stock. I then restored it. For some reason the device still shows custom in stats and thus I cant check for updates. Any help is apreciated.
Thanks in advance

sir, what it matters is the product code of your phone (csc), and not where you live
connect to kies and see ---------- MDK(???)
any way, for Turkey mdk is the latest firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=TUR#firmware

no, just download TUR, latest MEA and flash it with odin, and you will be good to receive any future update
also you can flash any other newest firmware for other country (India firmware is so fast in OTA)
see my sig for the guide

Thank you very much sir....

[i9500] Play store apps isn't working

I did a nandroid backup after I just rooted my phone. So now I am running a custom rom and I decided to go back to stock android. So I flash the nandriod backup and it rebooted with no problems. But when I unlock the fone it said unfortunately Gapps have stop working and these pop-ups are coming up like every 2 seconds. So I just decided to wipe and factory reset my phone. So I did when it was finish I went through the process of setting up my phone and when I download Instagram the app keep crashing like I would be on it for like 2 mins and a pop-up would come up saying unfortunately Instagram has stop working. It even says it when I tried to post a picture. And when I download whatsapp also and i try to change my profile picture it keeps crashing.
I think it's something with the play store or something. Please help

I flash the new gapps and it didn't work. I think it because I am on stock android the gapps didn't work. But if I was a custom ROM it would have work.
Anymore solutions ?
