    What kind of branding did 3 put on your phone? I've got one from 3 and I don't have any branding.

    Regards

    Unlocking and installing and open firmware is the usual way.
    Neither need root.
    You do need to familiarise yourself with Odin - to flash your firmware, and sammobile.com to download your firmware.

    On the SGS1 I changed my boot animation by rooting the phone then replacing the animation file in the system folder. The SGS1 was about for a while so there is far more resources available. If you check XDA or Google then you might find some animations to download. Whether it's the same on the SGS 3 is another question.

    No. Nothing. Maybe because I've got the blue one and they did not had a time to brand them

    Maybe that's why, they had a time to put in this stuff, but as long as this is only a start up logo it's not so bad in my opinion coz it's not something you will see every day
