From the way I read at xda..it all coz of new bootloader.
If the phone have new bootloader and you flash anything unofficial then then red dot will appear. What we can do is flash old bootloader via PC Odin in PDA section.

no wonder my GF s3 after i root i saw the small red ! on top left..so how do i know which bootloader i should flash?will it effect the mobo after i flash the bootloader?

new bootloader normally arrive with new firmware especially via FOTA. Hold on..I upload an old bootloader into my Box first then I''ll put a link here
Below is old bootloader.

I'm not really sure as my phone don't have that red dot.
You can try with MibileOdin first and see how it goes..if the red dot still there then use PC Odin and flash it under PDA.
Good luck

Just realised that 7:13 features!!

Bootloader can comes inside new firmware. If Samsung keep on pushing new bootloader in every new firmware then there's nothing can be done except we keep on flashing old bootloader back...lolz

my bro on stock malaysia JB, not rooted
my s3 only rooted lol
mobo breakdown ? no idea
just now try xda developer forumer solution and try which take out battery about 10 seconds, but I take out around 5 minute
before turn off phone the battery is 6x %, after turn off to take out battery and plug in back after 5 minute and charge, 3x %
but now all back to normal already
is faster a lot

yes that the link

yes looks like samsung is goin to update the bootloader in each update
so yes no other option than flashing the old bootloader

since we now got wave old bootloader
save it inside phone n problem almost solved
just a few more steps lolz

huhh. .not my old bootloader bro..I got it from xda
Got any problem with that old bootloader then can go scold xda ya. .don't scold me..bwahaha

anyway..full blast surfing with my phone 100% till 15% batt and got 4hours screen on time..lolz

Oh!...

Yalo, mine got red dot now after return from service center.


The red dot will appear once you root the phone. As Noobi3 said in latest batch, or once you send your 1st batch S3 for service (especially after SC replace the motherboard).
