[Q] EU version for Indian User - issues? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am planning to buy the Samsung Galaxy S3 and had a couple of questions:
1) What is the current android version that has been pushed to Indian Users by Samsung.
2) If I take a EU phone (black colour), would I still get updates by Samsung India? Will I get updates from the original country?
3) Does the phone have international warranty?
The main reason for asking these questions is that I am debating between Google Nexus 4, S3 from India and S3 from abroad. I don't want to take the S3 from an EU retailer only to find that I neither get warranty nor software updates.

[Q] Need Help

Hello All, this is my first post so sorry if I am posting it to a wrong section.
I purchased S2 from Australia and is using it in USA. Last week I updated the firmware to Tmobile UK as it didn't had that many junk software as the Australian firmware had.
I am currently using my phone on Tmobile and the reception is pretty bad @ my home. I want to use the Wifi Calling App from Tmobile. Can somebody help me how to get it on my Samsung s2. Do I have to get the Tmobile US firmware to get that app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Looking for version of the stock firmware

I bought a branded (TIM) S3 in december 2012 and after a day I did the software update using the related settings menu option. Now the firmware is XXDLJ4 (Android 4.1.1).
Is there a way to know which firmware was previously installed?

[Q] Galaxy s3 no network coverage

Hello, I'm new to the forum, also new to the world of android. Days reading forum, there's so much that I was all confused and worried about touching the same phone that it would not be brick .
The first few questions, the phone from my brother who purchased Galaxy S3 through advertisements, which btw does not work .
Model I9300
Android version 4:04
Baseband Version I9300XXLE8
Kernel Version 3.0.15-554452
Built Number IMM76D.I9300XXALE8
AP:I9300XXALE8
CP:I9300XXLE8
CSC:I9300PAPALE5
Phone is a retail demo application that I could not uninstall it, so I'm using the Samsung GS3 toolkit 7.0 root the phone first, then uninstall and then do flash stock rom via Odin (I9300XXALE8_I9300NZCALE5_I9300XXLE8_HOME.tar.md5), which I DL with the Samsung GS3 Toolkit 7.0 then I do wipe / data recovery also with a Samsung GS3 toolkit 7.0, and now the phone as new, completely empty. Everything remains the same only the CSC changed, now is I9300NZCALE5, since I did not find the same CSC. Does it matter that CSC is the same or not? I know it Built Number must be the same, did baseband version and CSC must be the same?
With original CSC, could not update via kis, now that it attaches throw new update but different, I could not run, does this update can this phone? (picture attached)
And most importantly the end, can anything be done to get the S3 network coverage?
Pardon my spelling, English is not my language, translation help Google.
Cheers!!!

That I was afraid of that: (. Unfortunately it is impossible, thinking of returning money.
Remains a possibility to be used as navigation, as camera, to go on the internet .... .
Tell me please, is safe to perform the update with kiss, see picture attached above, PDA:LE8 to LLA, PHONE:LE8 to LLA, CSC:LE5 to LL1?

[Q] Figuring i9300 original firmware

How do you figure the android's original firmware?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III, i9300, the international version. I modified its firmware long time ago without backing up the original firmware.
Since Samsung has updated its devices with newer versions recently I have decided to go back to the original firmware so that I would be able to update my device via Samsung Kies but it keeps telling me since the firmware has been modified updates are not available for my phone.
I have access to MEID and IMEI numbers and probably some other numbers that are listed on the same page.
Is there a way for me to figure out what was the original firmware using those information? I purchased it on ebay and the seller is not listed anymore so there is no way for me to ask the seller.
Even with flashing a new rom, Samsung Kies still tells me that it won't update it because of firmware modification.
Thank you.
