Via XDA stock firmwares post or sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
Read the basic faqs and guides posted in the General section before doing anything .
Stock flash via Odin will require root again .

Most importantly, is your phone GT-i9300? Because S3 has various models and can not messed up the ROM
Actually, personally think the region code doesn't matter at all.
You should spent a little more time in general section, everything you need lays right over there

Be patient, it's not complicated as you thought. As matter of fact, I brought my Nexus S 18 months ago, then I immediate (like 20 minutes reading the thread and 10 minutes of preparation and operation ) unlocked bootloader and rooted it , I didn't even know "Android "before I got that phone!!!
if you mother language is not English, you can search some thread with your own language thread which should make it easier.
Just be patient reading these thread, don't be panic, this is not anything emergency, you have lots lots time doing this.

If you are in Greece this link will take you to Sammobile firmwares, make sure you do have i9300 international then download the lates version i9300XXELLA and flash it using Odin which you already have.
Make sure you understand how to flash via Odin by reading the Odin thread if you do it wrong you will just have an expensive brick

Sounds like the unlock you used wasn't a permanent one, find your carrier Rom and flash that with Odin.....then get a proper/permanent unlock code

No, you can't use Odin to flash Slim. But you know what you can use XDA for? Reading. I'm sorry, but spoonfeeding is against XDA rules. Read up & flash slimbean. First you want a custom recovery & root, from there all you have to do is download the ROM and flash it according to the instructions in Slim OP. I'm not saying any more.

No one said you have to be a developer or expert. I'm certainly not. I only know what I know because I read things before attempting them. This isn't meant to be harsh, but right now your phone is in danger. Messing with your phone when you don't know what you're doing is a sure way to screw things up. So please do some reading. I already told you where to start, you need a custom recovery & root.

Good to hear.
The reason that everything looks small is that it's not standard dpi. Slim has default 182 dpi, stock is 240 dpi. You can change it, go to settings>interface>LCD density. Follow what it says there, the instructions work great there.
