I need the stock recovery ROM for Boost Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 android 4.4.3 USA version
Using Odin and CF-AutoRoot wiped out my stock recovery. I tried to use the one for Sprint, but it must be different, when I go into recovery, the screen is filled with red errors.
Because of the above problem, I am unable to do a factory reset!

Hello,
2 months ago I rooted my S3,
with the CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2 & odin & stuff, It worked,
Today I wanted to unroot it, & I thought you could just Reset your phone and everyting would go back to factory settings, because I wanted some
original updates...
I found out if i did that it would still use SuperSU & be a Custom Firmware. So I removed the SuperSU app, Deleted CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.2 or it was CWM-SuperSU-v0.89 from my SD.
I wanted to reset it again with the hard mode setting or something: Volume up + home + lock key
I mounted everything /sd card /system /cache etc. Why? I dont know..
Now my phone gets stuck at the screen when you turn on your phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300
Did I just brick my phone?
Greetings.
No you didnt. But your S3 has nothing to boot. So you should flash an original fw from sammmobile with odin.

You could try to make a full recovery with Samsung Kies.

Are you sure this works?
We are not Samsung customer service and we do not guarantee it work. In this same general section there are two sticky threads that will guide you can download the stock rom and flash it using Odin, titled " [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4) - United Kingdom" and "[Guide+ROMS]Odin Flash+Root Guide & Stock Firmwares".
You will lose all your data in the phone when you flash Odin. Also this forum section is for the international unlocked version, make sure you aren't using an American carrier locked version.
Also, question belongs in the Q&A section.
I have upgraded my phone to the unofficial jelly bean release which changed my startup screen to show GT-I9300 rather than GT-I9300T.
I have now downgraded back to the official Vodafone AU ICS 4.0.4 ICS firmware but the startup screen is still showing GT-I9300.
How do I flash the startup screen to show GT-I9300T on the very first screen that appears when you turn the device on?

Are you sure u have flashed the correct
Aus firmware? Do you still have root? Try a factory reset
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Boot screen is part of the firmware. Params file if you want to search more.

I also have the i9300T and have flashed numerous custom and stock i9300 firmwares (cwm only). When the phone boots it still shows as i9300T before the boot animation kicks in, but in settings / about device it shows as an i9300.
Initially I found it odd because on my previous S2 model T it changed to i9100 when I flashed international firmware on it.
Maybe something has changed with JB firmware.

You have to factory reset from the phone but it will format the internal sdcard

I used ODIN 3.07 to Flash the firmware via the PDA field.
I always do a backup of my data to my External SD Card and then do a factory format via CWM and clear cache before installing firmware.
The firmware file i used is from samfirmware: I9300TDUALF2_VAUALF2_Australia_Vodafone_Android_4.0.4.zip.
Don't you get your root back when you flash original firmware to the phone?
I have a feeling because I used JB 4.1.1 International it changed the boot screen?
Is there a manual way to change it back using the params file?
No you dont get root you will have to root again. Go into settings backup and reset then do a factory reset. I think that will erase internal sdcard tho.

I've tried searching for the params file but dont seem to find much info on it. I've also watched if the file is flashed when using in odin but I cannot see it like I have in previously when flashing my SG1.
I have completed factory reset using the option under security and via CWM.
Can anyone please provide me with more information to point me in the right direction as I do want to restore it looking like factory?

Were you able to solve the problem? Was just wondering what you did for the boot-up to show I9300 instead of I9300T. I have flashed dozens of ROM, official and AOSP, but mine always showed I9300T. I have the I9300T and I want it to show I9300 instead. Your problem is what I want. LOL. How ironic.
Hi,
I have GT-I9300 i upgaded to 4.1.2 XXELLA build via odin after some time because of missing thai language in the system i decided to go back to my previous stock rom which was based on 4.1.1 so i flashed the firmware through odin and odin flashed the firmware without error, as the result was PASS!! but on auto reboot my phone didn't went past samsung logo and is stuck in boot loop. Help, do i have to downgrade bootloader also ?

yep go back to 4.1.1 and ur phone will die soon *sigh*
Boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset.
This WILL wipe your internal SD because it's stock recovery.

What method did you use to root?
Odin and a .tar file?
Or?

I can not find the thread for the guide I used to root my i747.
However, I did use Odin like the video; but just flashed a stock TouchWiz ROM with root injected. I then installed TWRP recovery (better than CWM imo) through the GooManager app from the Play Store. (Requires root obviously.)
Then I flashed whatever ROM I so desired.
I had no issues with IMEI, however it does show I have 3G data on Synergy ROM rc484. Sometimes switches to HSPDA+.
I have only had this issue on this particular ROM.
I can send you a link for the stock ROM w root for flashing in Odin through a PM, just msg me.
Or try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2042775
