Hey guys,

I live in New Zealand and recently bought a black s3 several weeks ago from a parallel importer as the shops here only sell pebble blue and white.

As it is imported how can i find out which country code software I should be using.

I received several device manuals and one was in Croatian, but there are other language manuals in the box too.

In kies my firmware version has a "(SEE)" at the end of it. eg. ends with "CSC:LK4 (SEE)"

Please help somebody :)

Do note however, this only shows what firmware is on your phone right now. It is not necessarily the original. Give me your phone for a minute and I can make it say various different places, including NZ.

It makes no difference what country your phone is originally from mate.

Just go to Sam Mobile and download the latest Official NZ firmware and flash with Odin. Then it'll be exactly the same as any phone you buy over the counter from Vodafone/Telecom NZ.
