Yes will work. Chose the right firmware for your country and be happy
Firmwares are listed in post 2 of the guide I think

My country isn't listed there, so i should download Open European (4.4.2), right?

Which csc do you have then?
csc means the firmware code. You can find it out when you connect the S4 with Kies. There you can find 3 letters in brackets.

That's kind of a problem.. Kies does not recognize my S4...

Oh okay. You can take the open Europe firmware. Or you can google you country and look if there is a 4.4.2 firmware for it

Sorry for stupid questions, but when i extracted the .rar, i got 4 different files. Should i select the largest one? I'm asking, because "Step 5) click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the file ".tar"". And if my phone is 16gb, i don't need any extra steps or something?

Chose the .tar file and ad in AP
Can you give me a link from this firmware?
Did you download a four part firmware?

Really sorry for stupid questions. https://mega.co.nz/#!ON4zTagL!WdK7udWQvQvaIvHHrxjAn2RQ6qkL73eSaF8SKDcnsiQ downloaded from here (http://prntscr.com/4hd8mo the Open European (4.4.2) one)

Just click on the field AP and chose the .tar file.
Backup your important data before you install the new firmware. But may I ask from which country you are? I think it is better when you choose a firmware for your country, because the open Europe firmwares are all leaked test firmwares.
Edit: and can you post a Screenshot from the four files of the .zip ?
Oh and can you please type *#1234# into the dialer and post it?

Okay you are on Baltic firmware now, so I recommend you to install the Baltic 4.4.2. and not the open Europe leak, because this is a four part firmware and will delete all your data.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Follow this link, make an account (its for free and without any spam mails)
And search for your devise i9505 and take the Baltic 4.4.2 firmware.
I think it's the best way to update.
But back up important data.

sorry write 4.2.2! that's 4.4.2.
I guess you mean the 4.4.2 update. Maybe it helps if you flash an other firmware via odin from your pc with an other firmware.

You wont be able to get back. But you can flash all newer firmware via Odin. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
There you can find the newest firmwares for your device.

My boss complained his S4 lagged as well after installing 4.4.2 update. It's funny considering 4.4.2 is a very optimized OS.

How to change csc

I have Sm-n 910c no root phone, my csc is xsg for u.a.e, I tried to flash poland firmware xeo,
But csc not changed to xeo even after factory reset & reflash with xeo again, anyone knows how to change csc without rooting my device?
No one has any idea?
I changed my csc this way
- flash firmware
- don't reboot to system, boot in stock recovery
- make factory reset/wipe data
- and then reboot system

I will try your method but I have a question, in kies your csc shows proper?for me in recovery it was showing multi csc xeo applied, but in kies it's still showing xsg instead of xeo.
I don't use kies, but you can check your csc with phone info app from play store
