Hi Guys.
Ive made a pretty stupid mistake with flashing, and now my bootloader seems to be gone, can anyone tell me where to download a working (preferably stock) bootloader for my UK GT-I9300 that I can put straight into odin?
I'd like to use either ICS 4.0.4 or JB 4.1.2..

well, if you asked this in the i9300 forum, you would indeed get the correct help, but this is the S1 forum, so most will not be able to help.
anyway go here . I will ask MOD to move you to S3 forum

Sorry, I thought I was in the I9300!!!
Stock rom from sammobile includes bootloader, but I seriously doubt you've actually broken the bootloader. If you have then you'll need more than just an odin flash to fix it.

Ok so Im a noob with the android os..
I recently upgraded my firmware from the gingerbread to ICS which was posted on this forum for poland. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S-II GT-I9100 sim free. I wanted to downgrade back to the original firmware i had on the phone and i seem to have searched all over this forum and have gotten no where as to how i can do that. I've ran into dead links and other problems as well.. Please someone help me and show me how i can get gingerbread back on my phone. PLEASE HELP! Thanks

Hey, everyone needs a good laugh. don't be a sour noob.
First of all do you have Odin? Did you read Intratech's Odin thread? Did you even go to his thread? If not, read up here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278&highlight=stock+firmware
If links don't work for ROMs (I suggest downloading LA4 if you want Gingerbread, best Gingerbread ROM out there) then google the firmware name and look for a mirror. Ever since the whole download site crackdown, it's been hard to keep good mirrors, which is why you have so many dead links.
BATMAN-- OUT!
I have odin and i have looked at Intratech's thread and have read it multiple times trying to figure it out but not helping..the more i read, the more confusing it gets...sorry for being a sour noob...just frustrated
I flashed the phone using odin the gingerbread rom and then when i was following Intratech's guide on rooting the phone, the program he has listed both freeze and stop responding

first thing is:
questions go in the q&a section. reported.
and as stated above, there is no need to rush into this. all the information is here and only if you are capable to read up on it, you will understand what you are doing. only then should you start flashing roms and root your phone. without the basic information you are likely to destroy your new phone.
1) you don't need to be rooted to update to ICS. Select the Samsung ICS Stock rom for your place from this link and download it. Don't worry the guide for flashing through is there in the link
2) you can then download the kernel from this link to root you phone. The guide is there for this too..
enjoy your S2 with root. It is definitely worth it..
Though fair warning.. You'll lose your warranty.

this is not a froum where you're spoon fed on infromation. You want to know something? Google is your friend. You want to find something? I don't see why Google wouldn't be capable of that either.
To help you along the way..
You can find all or most stock firmwares for samsung devices at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Good luck!

By searching the forum
This is what i done. Flash stok 4.0.4. Siyaa Root it, go to unlock s2 in market. Make sure to back up ur efs folder. Then flash a custom jb i did militant its the BEST stock like rom, and it shouldnt remove the network unlock.

That is absolutely ridiculous.
Look children, this is what happens when you cant be bothered to search, you go and pay some idiot to do what you should have done in first place, ie search, read, learn and do.
If you had search you would have found many topics that recommend various unlocking apps from play store or on xda and unlocked you device in seconds.
Thread Closed:
Questions like this have been asked before and can be answered by doing a little research (searching).
If you plan to advance in your knowledge of android you are going to have to learn and not just expect help on already answered questions.

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

Stop.
Don't do anything else to your phone before you go and read ALL the stickies in the general forum.
You need to understand the basics and backup your efs folder before you destroy your phone.
Please don't start new threads for questions that have been answered a hundred times before and are all in the faq.

btw I9300 bootloader is not locked but do read the stickies as it is a different device than all american and several other sgs3 variants
okok no need to kill me i learned my lesson READ the stickies before posting stupid question!!
i scoured this place but i cant find a way to know the bootloader status i found out that xoom is locked and some xperia devices and that i can determine the bootloader status by the time it take on the boot screen but this doesnt sound very accurate is there a code to put it in the dial pad ?
Bootloader is irrelevant, it's a separate operating system that plays no part in recovery or rom.

if the bootloader is locked the chance of bricking my phone is bigger so i need to know first before jumping into the customizing process isnt that right?

actually the verizon sgs3 does have a locked bootloader. so it is not always the manufacturer that makes the decisions. in the us the carriers have much more input especially in regards to updates. att just recently began updates to 4.12.
have a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756338 they are all samsung galaxy s 3 but none are identical . some are exynos , some are snapdragon. ram , video boards, radios all different variants. that is why it is important to know your device
All the US versions are the same hardware... Besides Radio related stuff...
