Hi,
When asking for help , you should always give as much information about your phone , variant , firmware , rooted/unrooted , stock , any custom installations etc. etc .
Yes , you should be able to return to stock by flashing a stock firmware in odin.
Make a note of your current firmware , and flash one that is is equal to , or later than the current one.

Hi,
Well the variant you have is the samsung galaxy s4 i9505
Stock is the firmware that it came with from the shop.
Find this in settings /about phone.
Make a note of it.
I take it that the upgrade came in the form of an OTA (Over The Air )
So , your current firmware is 4.3
May I suggest a LOT more reading before embarking on anything.

There are stocks roms but all on 4.4.4 android version,there are not for the moment custom roms and there aren´t at this moment lollipop custom roms,neither stock of this version. But is normal,the phone is from 2014 finals,and even on some more famous phones there isn´t still lollipop stock version.
To download stock roms you can go to this site http://best-tech-reviews.com/update-galaxy-grand-prime-sm-g530fz-g530fzxxu1aoa9-android-4-4-4-2939/ (the url corresponds to one version but navitating in its you can find more)

Possible to install european ROM on an asian/korean A5?

A friend of mine has a asian galaxy A5. Is it possible to install a european firmware on it? At the moment the language can only be chosen between asin and english. Also there are problems with the Play-Store.
Sadly I can't find much information about the model.
Here are some specs:
Buildnumber: LRX22G.A500HXXU1BOJ1
Kernel version: 3.10.49-5979747
Knox version: 2.4
Base Band: A500HXXU1BOF6
TeamAndroid says, that the firmware is from Uzbekistan? Link
Is the hardware of the Galaxy A5 similar in all regions?
Any help would be appreciated

The Model Number is SM-A500H. Until now I don't have the device, only screenshots.
Did you install the rom with samsung kies? Will the A5 receive original OTA-Updates when I've installed the european rom? Can you guide me through the process?
It would be nice if you can give me further information. Do I have to root the device before installing the european firmware?
Thanks in advance!

That sounds good! Which tool did you use to root your device?
Flashing a deodexed Rom on a stock Rom base means, that further official Samsung updates will not be installed, am I right?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Prime G531F and I am looking for a custom rom for android 6.0.1 or even android 7.

Thank you.

Tab A6 Sm-t585 no charge, no boot

Hello, I have a Tab A6 2016 (SM-T585) that won't boot with the error message "could not do normal boot, invalid kernel length"
This came out of the blue, as its completely stock.
It's not rooted so I have no clue if I can flash a new oem rom to it.
Recovery menu is not available so I can't try hard reset, only download mode is available.
I'd like to fix it so my kids and girlfriend has a spare (I currently use an old outdated lenovo)
Anyone have a solution or workaround for this issue? Or do I just drop it off at the recycling centre?
