Samsung Kies 3 (Samsung Backup & Recovery tool) Wont Recover To anything That Is Not Stock Samsung-Android.

[Ploooopp]

Hi!
 
Basically I installed Cyanogenmod Yesterday because I was curious and TouchWiz ain't that good and used Samsung Kies 3 to backup all of my data (apps, Settings, Images and such) But now when I'm trying to recover all of it I can't, At all!
Samsung Kies won't recognise the phone. What I need the most from there are my contacts and a couple apps. I used to have 800+ contacts, now I have 5.
The backup is saved to my computer if that changes anything.

Thanks <3

A. Of course Kies won't work on your devices after it is rooted and have a custom ROM on it

B. You should have synced all of your contacts to your Gmail...not Samsung Kies...

C. Never uses Samsung Kies to backup ANYTHING, it will only work for Samsung devices and are incompatible for future devices you may own in the future,

D. Restore your phone back to Stock Samsung using Odin and your stock firmware that you may be able to find on the XDA forums. 

E. After you got all your stuff back, sync your contacts to Gmail, backup all your photos with any cloud based service like dropbox or onedrive and Titanium Backup to backup all of your downloaded app with all the Data with it(I am not sure if Titanium Backup still does that as I haven't used it in a long time)(Side Note: that app requires root)

Duh? Samsung Kies only works with TouchWiz devices. Even the GPE S4 doesn't work with Kies.
