Returning to Stock please help

Hi,
Hope anyone can help, I basically bought a UK i9505 unlocked or unbranded from phones 4 u, I have since rooted and installed a few custom roms\kernels.
I'm basically looking to put everything back to stock, I am currently downloading firmware I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU, can you tell me if this is the latest and correct firmware?, also I don't really understand what the CSC is?, would I need to modify this and when flashing the firmware will the kernel change to an official stock or do I need to flash that as well.
Finally at present my system is modified, how do I get this back to official and 0?, I do have the triangle away app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I want to double check everything as I'm not that confident with the process and mainly the order of the steps in the process.
Thanks

Click to expand...

I'm not quite sure what is the region for O2.
Is it N9005 ? which region ?
you could actually find any stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
after that you can flash through ODIN.
you won't mess up your phone, BUT, you have to download the correct firmware for your device (e.g : if your device N9005, you have to use N9005 firmware. If yours is N900, then you have to use N900.)
and other than that, try to flash stock rom which is the same release with your current one or newer release.
If you don't understand on how to flash ODIN, pm me.

3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No) Yes
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)

GT-i9505
5.0.2
vodafone

custom rom

Cheers Stu.

The latest firmware for your S4 is here. Make sure you have the drivers from Samsung installed, then follow the instructions on that page to install the ROM. Be aware that if you have problems after installing the ROM you'll need to install it again.

Cheers for your help is there anywhere else to download from the site is a bit slow?
Stu.

www.samsung-updates.com, but I don't believe it's going to be any faster. After all, you are dealing with a 1.5GB download.

ok cheers I'll stick with this one its got 50 mins left
Stu.

A big thank you for your help Strephon worked perfectly
All the best Stu.

[Q] Need Stock Firmware - SM-N9005 UK

Hi all,
I have recently upgraded my phone contract and thus got a new phone. I'm looking to sell my Note 3, but I'm trying to return the phone to stock 4.4.2 as when I was using the phone I flashed a leaked Lollipop ROM on there.
My problem is, whatever link I try either 404's or its a website where the estimated download will take 5 hours, unless you pay through the nose for an 'unlocked download speed'
I was wandering can anyone point me in the right direction, to somewhere where I can download the Firmware quick and easily??
Thank You

Unrooting to stock rom?

Hi,
I have been rooting my note 4 since it came out and familiar with any problems that may occur with kernels and stuff...
I decided to sell my phone and put it towards an S8 when i t comes out, i am sending my phone to Mazuma Mobile but wanted to unroot it first but the stock firmwares i am flashing though Odin are stuck on the Samsung start up screen.
I am not sure about unrooting and need some help, the latest firmware i have tried is "BTU-N910FXXU1BOC5-20150423120804" - i have the N910F model but it wont load beyond the Samsung bootup screen.
Anybody give me some help please and maybe point me to the correct firmware that i should be using?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Think i need to use the latest firmware - N910FXXS1DQC3
Can someone point me to somewhere i can download this please?
Every link i check asks me to buy an upgrade account to down load this firmware.
Cheers
