When going from a lollipop to a kit kat rom with the S3 you have to completely wipe internal storage. I don't know which recovery you are using, but in Philz for example when you wipe for new rom it DOES NOT wipe the entire internal SD card. This is required. You have to wipe data for new rom, then go to mounts and storage and "format data and media" to completely wipe the internal SD.
