[Q] Galaxy S4 Kies 3 Restore problem - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have Galaxy S4 I 9505 4.3 version
After doing the upgrade to 4.3 It became a bit slow, so I backed up everything using Kies 2.6
I reset the S4 to factory, plugged into stupid Kies, I get a msg saying I need an upgrade to Kies 3!
I upgrade to Kies 3... Try to restore, it does not recognize the backup from Kies 2.6
Seriously, the phone is awesome and all but Kies is the lousiest application I ever had to deal with!!!
Any ideas or help on how I can fix this...
Its a big problem for me...
Thanks

You are mixing things. It is android 4.4.2 Kit Kat, no 4.2.2. The unique u can do is:
- Do a FACTORY RESET
or
- Wipe all and flash again KitKat 4.4.2 by ODIN

[Q] Slow device, handles RAM badly, still no OTA to 4.4.2

Hi all,
My father has a Galaxy S4 (I9505) which is still running 4.3 Jelly Bean.
He complains his device is getting slow when not clearing all at recents.
The KitKat update should control the available RAM in a better way right?
I tried to update the phone, but it STILL says there's no update available while the KitKat rolout for the S4 has been finished for months, right? The device was bought in France, and is being used in the Netherlands.
It seems like this S4 is not eligible for updates, is that possible?
Even Samsung Kies says the device is up to date.
So the question is: Is it safe to flash 4.4.2 (no provider) to this S4 via Odin with the firmware downloaded from Sammobile? And will it wipe all user data?
Best regards,
Daniel
Thanks in advance!

Hello
I'll have your thread moved to the Galaxy S4 Q&A subforum where your question would be better answered.
Good luck,

My phone asked for a softwear update so i just said OK. After updating the softwear my phone screen is not showing the dispaly.
Please can anyone help what to do?
I can give you the 5.1.1 stock ROM but you'll have to flash thru Odin
