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.

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?

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.

    Yes will work. Chose the right firmware for your country and be happy ;)
