If you're downloading ROMs, does that mean that your phone is rooted? If so, that might cause problems with receiving OTA updates from your carrier. If not, then maybe it really is a hardware issue.

Does the display problem only happen when you're showing the desktop launcher, or does it also happen inside an app?

No you don't have to be rooted to download a ROM from SamMobile and use ODIN to flash it, they are all stock firmware. However you are correct that flashing another regions firmware will stop updates for the region your in with your device. It changes the CSC code when you do that telling the servers that there is a mismatch to what the phone should have on it.
