Cyanogenmod and its kernel has issues with bluetooth and since I use Pebble, I need to return to stock and root my Galaxy S4 (GTi9505) the usual way.
Problem is however, that all guides I find are only about flashing stock firmware, and not firmware and kernel.
I'm new to rooting and have been googling for a while trying to find an answer to if stock firmware includes stock kernel too.
Thanks!

Dear All,
I am a newbie to this site and a bit to Android. I've rooted by Samsung Galaxy S4 19505 (International Version) using Towel Root and installed clockwork recovery and used a custom ROM 'Cyanogenmod' for a while. Cyanogenmod 10.2 crashes a lot and therefore I decided to go back to stock rom. There was some md5 checksum mismatch when I tried to come back to my stock rom and therefore I could not do it. I found links to download official ROMs for variants of different countries but couldn't find one for the 'International Version'. I am looking for the stock ROM of S4-19505 International Version. Please help me to find the stock ROM for my phone. Thanks in advance.
