[Q] Change the stock ROM

Hello everyone,
I am in need of information and I'd like to ask for your expertise.
I have purchased a I9500 from a Chinese store (where I live). As I didn't want any Chinese ROM (no google apps), I purchased a so called "oversea version". They sold it to me as from Hong Kong (which is fine because they don't have the same restrictions).
My phone, unfortunately, has a few hick up :
- every single reboot, the phone is asking me wheter I want to use the touchwizz or simplify interface.
- it sometimes looses the wifi logins (need to re input the password)
- most annoying of all : I experience reboots on my phone while using camera of flashlight (50% of the time)
I have had a look around and saw that my stock ROM (XXUAMDK) wasn't the latest version. So after further digging, I considered to change it. At that stage only, I realized the phone is meant to be from Egypt (at least the ROM installed).
EGY
AP : I9500XXUAMDK
CP : I9500XXUAMDK
CSC : I9500OJVAMDK
I few upgrades of the ROM that seems to have fix the issues, but none of them have same "CP" or "CSC".
Can you recommend a version I should / can upgrade without any worries ?
Ideally, Asian ROM or Europe ROM
Which flashing method would you suggest ?
I could go with a rooted one or stock one (as long as the rooted one still gets the OTA).
I look forward to reading your helpful suggestions.

Probably not running. If yes for 09. Can try it, but only if you have a 00.

hello,
is this still 4.4.2 ?

Yes, 4.4.2.

Hi, i don't know why, but i can't apply update.
Always fail, i test it with my 64Gb and a 4Gb Sd card and always fail.
I restore the original recovery but don't seem to work for me (MT-L09)

Is it just me, or does battery life seem even better with this updated firmware?

after the software update I have no way switch between 4g and 3g network.
4g switch disappeared from menu, i can't turn on 4g on after update.
Dose anyone have the same problem?

My phone has 4G as default on, and it is working fine. But if I choose something else like 3G, I don't have a choice to get 4G back. On old firmware I had it as a seperate choice. Luckily, I backed up my phone before I tried this. Just loading old backup. Doesn't really affect me as I never disable 4G, but it is a little strange......
Edit 1:
Restore didn't work. Stuck in bootloop. Will try to figure out a slolution.....
Edit 2:
Managed to get phone on again, and did a factory restore (wiped everything) Started phone up again (like for the first time) and 4G option was back. Now to install my programs again.......

Will the update work on this Firmware: MT7-L09V100R001C00B120SP04 ?
The document inside states that the upgrade is intended for MT7-L09V100R001C00B118SP04 or MT7-L09V100R001C00B121SP05, so not sure if my version can be updated without problems.

I've downloaded old software B120SP04,
and I made an update to the software.
Again have the option to 4G and everything works fine.

4g on and old firmware.

Yes, it works for me.

too bad : I could not install it : "installation aborted" with no further details : not very helpful for debugging !
I'm also having B120 firmware though....

EDIT : finally fine on B120SP04

[Q] MX4 Pro corrupt file when I install ROM

I've enabled root permissions.

-If you bought your phone from a Store whos directly making come their phone from china : you must use ROM A,U or C
-if you bought your phone as an international version (look the version of flyme os if it ends by i, it's the international version)
you can put A,U,C or I version.
-Here you will find International last version :
meizumobiles point fr in the /mises-a-jour/ section. The last international version is 4.2.2.1i
-The message file corrupted means you have the bad version of ROM, follow my advices.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910P with Persian language direct link (Official)

Hello
Now, the stock rom is 5.1.1 and there was an error or issue with shareit app and i had to full wiped the phone with twrp custom recovery and after that, the phone's rom has been broken or just has a problem which says, there is no OS installed.
So, i had to download 5.0.1 after a lot of search with a good link and after introduce it to ODIN, there is a problem which that is also says:
sw check fail aboot fused error
So, i've read the same threads and saw something like cannot go back to older version.
So, is there any roms links (direct links) as official with persian supports language to download with 5.1.1 version? i've seen the sammobile info about the country and found nothing about the country and persian language.
It should be useful for the others which they have the same issue in future.
Any helps would be great, i've been fixing this issue about 8 hours by now! Just needs a guide or help about a direct link of official rom for Note 4 N910P

I don't believe the stock Sprint N910P firmware ever supported Farsi by default.
My recommendations:
1) Download the latest OK1 firmware and install with Odin (Samsung doesn't allow you to go back to 5.0.1 ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
2) Download a Farsi keyboard (it won't change the OS, but since you appear fluent in English, it should allow you to send texts and messages in Farsi - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boloorian.android.farsikeyboard&hl=en
I know there is a huge desire to buy Sprint phones for International use because their price on the secondary market is far lower than other models in the same family. However, if native language support is important to you, I would steer clear in the future. An International version will have a far wider language library installed.

Er, there already is a stickied guide for this kind of stuff: https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698

Next go here: https://twrp.me/Devices/HTC/
Choose your One M9 and download an early version of TWRP as the newer ones need the old ones to be installed!!
The HTC M8 comes in different flavours so make sure you get the right one for your model....
For sake of argument say I downloaded this file: twrp-2.8.7.0-hima.img

Newer TWRP versions don't require older versions to be installed (at least not on the M9). However, not every TWRP version is compatible with every firmware version of the M9. There's a different recommended TWRP version for each of the M9's firmware versions. The version you're mentioning was never recommended on any firmware version, though.

In TWRP select Reboot and it will ask you if you want to install SuperSU.
You do, swipe the screen and your phone will Reboot into the Operating System.
From there open the Super SU app and update your Super User Binaries...

You can't use just any SuperSU version. The M9 is quite picky. Most of the available versions will lead to a bootloop. Their ramdisk changes aren't compatible with this phone. The SuperSU version older TWRP versions ask you to install (and that you're recommending in your guide) is one of the incompatible versions.
