Default OT - Samsung Galaxy S3 soft brick and Odin

Following on from a post in December by Mr. Pounder.

My Samsung Galaxy S3 has just soft bricked itself for no apparent reason.
It now freezes at the splash screen.
It won't boot into recovery mode (Volume Up, Power, Home) but it will boot
into Download Mode (Volume Down, Power, Home).

So web wisdom suggests downloading the stock ROM (but from where? -
SamMobile seems one option) downloading Odin and then using Odin to load
the ROM into your phone.

So has anyone done this successfully?

The phone was originally from 3 but is out of contract, unlocked, and
currently using a Tesco SIM.
The only ROM I can find so far is for/from Vodafone, but I assume this is
better than nothing.

Cheers

Dave R
