[Q] (i9500) Help me find the best stock ODIN flashable package

Hi Everyone,
As with every i9500 owner, I am struggling to find a rom i can work with (there isn't enough variety and many issues) so i would like to go back to stock. the i9500 i bought was from Taiwan but it had a lot of bloatware. I am looking for a European rom that has at least bloatware in english that i can manage
the current rom i am using (Doc's barebone with persus kernel) is fairly well but i am experiencing crashes once in a while and radio issues..
The current firmware is: I9500XXUBMF3
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

[Q] how to find out which Stock Rom

Hi Everybody, i flashed my s4 i9505 without recording any information.
Now i want to flash the Stock Rom back, and i don't know which one to choose. Is there any chance that i can find out the Stock Rom i was using through IMEI code or SN?
Thank you in advance for helping.

A 4.4 ROM isnt available. Only 4.3 (SVA). Think it will come sometimes.
P.S. CM would be great. But I have no hope :-/

[Q] Ir Blaster not working galaxy s4 sammobile stock rom

Hello guys,
I'am with my samsgung galaxy s4 gt-i9505 (zto International).
Some days ago I installed the rom CM 11 SNAPSHOT last update, then I missed all the features that my phone may offer to me like the sensors... So I decided to install the samsung galaxy s4 stock rom back. (by the site SAMMOBILE)
All are working in the ROM but IRDA (IR BLASTER) isn't working. Then I can't control my TV anymore neither my Air conditioner.
I tried a factory reset but dosen't work!
Android 4.4.2
PDA: NH2 (I9505VJUGNH2)
I'm waiting for some help!!
Sorry about my english I'am Brazilian!

Check under a camera if the light of the sensor still works.
If not you have a dead IRB.
Something like this happened with me too.
Do press thanks if my posts are helpful

In the other thread you reply more people on the NH2 firmware have it. So I suggest trying a different firmware.

Yeah man,
My ir blaster is not transmitting signal i don't know why....
I was reading some other posts with this same problem with PDA NH2...
I think that the problem is with My rom, because the ir blaster was working fine with CM11 and the previous update.... It is possible that my ROM isn't recorginizing my ir blaster too.
I do not know what to do in this case .....
Please some one help me......

What you should do is try a different firmware. You are already familiair with custom roms. Make sure to properly wipe before you flash.

Well, I think that I'll wait the next update from my firmware to see if it fix the IR Blaster... Because i don't know any ROM that have the same touchwiz and the phone features working well.... If you know one tell me please...
But thanks for you help body!

Almost every custom TW based rom works well. That's because most chefs only change the way it looks.

Man, check http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9505&pcode=ZTO#firmware
that shows the list form all the unbranded firmware pra vôce (ZTO), just download the previous version (I9505VJUGNE2) and check if it works
Remember that most unbranded codes end in O (i.e., CHO is for my country, Chile, but it's not as recent as ZTO). BTW, you can check another country's firm (as long as its code finishes with O), as most firms offer many languajes, but stick to south america codes, as the modem version differ between continents

Seeking help for identifying suitable ROM for my S4 I9500

I have purchased S4 I9500 from a local shop. I am not sure about the country of origin of the Phone. There is SU app available in phone which means the phone is rooted. Please have a look at the attached screenshots and advise me about the phone. Is it on some custom ROM? I want to install S5 kind of ROM on it. Where I can find suitable ROM for my phone.

Ozcan rom v5.2
Or
Hassan rom
But first remember this before flashing..the firmware version of your phone and of the rom which you are flashing should match.
Like you have OLBFNB4, first upgrade to XXUFNH4 then flash ozcan.
You can find in the i9500 developement thread. (Not the i9500 original developement thread)
