Help, locked bootloader before flashing stock recovery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
So I have a little problem. I Sim unlocked my bosses s3 by rooting with the gs3 toolkit then using a Sim unlock app. I then went to bed and bright his fone back to him. he then tells me he doesn't want it rooted so I used ez unlock to relock the bootloader differing to flash stock recovery first... Oops!
Can someone give me links for stock recovery and tell me how to do it using Odin please?
I really like my job, don't want to lose it over this!
Thank you

(RESOLVED)Stuck at locked bootloader

Hey guys, I'm not new to Android but I recently got an evo 3d for cheap. Apparently it was unlocked with htcdev. Its for sprint cdma. Anyways, I was trying to install ICS and for some stupid reason I wiped everything then locked the bootloader. I know even I'm ashamed of myself lol! Any way to unlock HBoot 1.50 with fast boot or at least install a ROM? Any help would be appreciated!
I only have access to the locked bootloader and fast boot btw.
Edit: Flashing an old gingerbread stock ruu via fastboot solved my problem

You should never able to unlock it again with HTC dev and then do the wire trick to get s-off.

I did but htcdev doesn't recognize it for some reason. Their instructions required a booted ROM right? I'll try again lol Thanks for the response!

No luck. Downloaded HTC sync and reinstalling drivers etc. But its recognized in fastboot so I doubt that's the problem.

It said it ran fine but the bootloader is still locked and I'm still stuck.

[Q] Question about Rooting after Relocked

I originally bought this phone when it first dropped and was able to unlock my bootloader and root my device but i went back to my SIII for a while and gave this one to my girlfriend (huge mistake). I unrooted and relocked the bootloader before giving her the device, of course when the ota's popped up she took it and installed it. I just got the phone back yesterday and it actually looks like the newest ota has also been pushed and installed to the phone. My question is (which is probably a no) since i have rooted and unlocked before can i do it again or am i screwed waiting for a method? Ive spent a better half of my morning searching these threads for an answer but had no luck so im sorry if this has been asked a million times.
Thanks in advance.
Since you already have your unlock token you can unlock like you did the first time.
Really? So I can unlock and root no problem?

Help with Stock Restore

I'll be the first to say it...
I screwed up my phone entirely and I know. But that's neither here nor there at this point.
I'm really just hoping for some serious help at this point.
Thanks in advance.
I was stock ll4 baseband and attempted to run “one click"casual to root/unlock/recovery.
Somehow during this process my phone managed to root but failed to unlock or install custom recovery.
I made it back to home screen and checked for root status to verify.
This is where the bonehead mistakes come in
I then tried to install twrp manually thinking the bootloader possibly unlocked during casual. But it did not.
After trying to boot into recoveryi get a notification that I am running custom software and to return my device immediately to Verizon.
I can't get back to home screen either same message.
I attempted to revert to stock several times using droidstyle method and Odin keeps coming at sboot.bin.
Does anyone out there no wtf I did to my phone?
Please help. Thank you

I got S-Off with the revone method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
If it really is unlocked through tmobile you can just flash the dev edition ruu through fasrboot once s-off. I recommend just flashing a custom Rom on top of the ruu once you did all that, many more features, etc.
Check the HTC one xda forum, not the tmobile HTC one. All variants are compatible with each other
Almost forgot: make sure you supercid after s-off or the ruu won't flash!
Again everything is in the other forum with step by step instructions.
Instead of a ruu, once you have supercid, flash this

Unroot for warranty

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

Someone on here made a mod that reset the lock status flag. Maybe that can help.

I'm looking for it. I found this. But it might just be the relocked status
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647728
Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...
