Changing Lollipop CSC

I'm current on the 4.4.2 Stock ROM that came with the phone, using the OPS CSC as that is my carrier.
The ROM is rooted, I have changed the recovery and kernel and am using XPosed for any customizations.
I wish to download the 5.0 ROM, specificially Albe95's rom: Link here
I wish to know if it possible to change the CSC from that ROM to that of the one that is for my carrier. I have extracted all the files from Albe95's rom and have not found a OPS CSC in there.
How would I go about either moving the CSC from my current ROM to Lollipop one?
One of the options I have found where to extract the rom that you download from Sammobile and flash the appropriate files, yet I do not know what files to flash.
The other option is to simply move the files from my current ROM into the one I downloaded and flashed it (picture below). However, as with the above option I do not know how I would do that since the ROM I currently have is only single CSC while the one that Albe95 provides is multi-csc.
Thanks for the help.

Flashing Bootloader & Modem via Odin Problem

Hi everyone, I'm having a couple of problems flashing the required Rom's Bootloader & Modem (XXU1COI3 & COI3) for my phone (N910G - 32Gb).
So the problem look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I had also try to extract the pit file from the phone using terminal emulator on Android. Used that pit file along with the flashing of Bootloader & Model. This is what it shows:
I have previous problem similar to this before. But it seems to work when I used the PDA tab while flashing both the Bootloader and Modem as a single tar.md5 (or tar file can't remember exactly).
I would be very appreciated if someone could merge the 2 file together (so I can give a try) or come to a solution for those problems.
Cheers!

untick autoreboot

Second this.... also unticking AR did not help.

Don't use Re-partition !
And don't forget to power off the phone (minimum 15 seconds) and start in download mode directly before flashing BL and CP

What is the difference between cf-autoroot and sammobile?

I am new to all these so forgive me if I don't know something obvious. I have a grand prime sm-g530h that I tried to root using the cf-autoroot chainfire files. But it did not work and I ended up stuck in odin mode forever! I was trying to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop. Anyway I could not even go back to kitkat version using the 4.4.4 file from chainfire. Here is the link to this problem if anyone is can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/help/stuck-downloading-mode-trying-to-root-t3400043
Anyway, I then downloaded the firmware from sammobile: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46171/G530HXXU2AOC2_G530HODD2AOA1_BNG/ and this time it worked and I was able to get back to my phone! all the apps that were previously installed were present as if nothing changed.
I did notice one difference between the file sizes. Chainfire MD5 files were around 30 MB while sammmobile files were around 1 GB!! and a lot of processes happened when I installed the sammoble firmware using odin which did not happen when I tried to use the chainfire files.
Here is a screenshot of odin after installing sammobile firmware:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My concern is why is there a such a huge difference in size of the MD5 files? Should I be concerned? Did this also install any hidden malware that I should be worried about? I see something called "hidden.img.ext4" and other stuff! Is sammobile.com safe? Please help!

SM-A310F go to stock problems

Hi guys,
I get this SM-A310F(310Fxxu4crg2, this string i grabbed from my recovery) phone for testing purposes and now I want to go back to stock rom, but it's my first expierience with Odin/Heimdall and I really don't know what I done, my bootloader seems to be working, i mean it boots successfuly into download mode, there I tried to flash with Odin BL, AP, CP, CSC with these files https://sfirmware.com/downloads-file/26048/SM-A310F_1_20180814174814_3yq6smui2j_fac
The ZIP provides 4 files:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
these files I selected in Odin:
but like you see in this picture from Odin it does fail, and I really don't know anymore how to get back to stock.
I also try it with Heimdall under Linux and extract the tar files from my first picture and selected them manually, with hidden partition gets the hidden.img and so on, but there I get also a error something like a protocol error. I also have a pit file I created with Heimdall, before I mumbled around, if it's needed.
Windows 10 Pro, Odin 3.14, Samsung driver installed
Archlinux with latest kernel, latest libmtp & Heimdall
I hope someone can help me
