So it's a C105. What did you do to achieve that error? Were you trying to flash something?
A way to solve would be to download the newest firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ by searching for c105 and install via Odin by using Download mode (shut down phone and press and hold Power button + volume down button, then when you get a logo with text, just press volume up to enter download mode).

I I accidentally deleted or uninstalled Wiz system app. what one would i download for United States? on the site you provided. thank you again I have been looking for that all night there is way too much misinformation on the web. I don't see any of their codesa CLW, AWS, DOB, TMB. Thanksagain

I have soft bricked my Galaxy S1 in the past a few times but saved it by flashing with Odin. I soft bricked my wife's HTC One because I was updating it to 4.4.2 since normal software update was not working for that Verizon phone, but saved it with adb push commands and CWM recovery.
I have heard of others soft bricking their Zoom and saved them with Odin. Since you're with Att I am not sure which firmware you should download. I would just get the latest one March 2014 from Australia. PDA: C105XXUAMK7.
They say as long as you can still boot up your phone to recovery, you can still save it.

Unable to do factory reset!!! HELP!!!

Hi all,
I'm trying to root but having problem. Then I decided to restore to factory reset via software and thru CWR but both failed....any suggestion?
Best Regards,
Jay
Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, I am also having a similar problem. My tab has been rooted since I bought it, nearly a year ago. I have flashed loads of different roms and builds without any problem. Recently with the AOKP builds, my tab locks up randomly and I have to do a reboot by holding power for 15 secs. I can install a new rom etc, but it does not fix the issue.
I have since decided to do a factory reset, however in cwm when I choose this option it hangs and freezes the device...
I've tried the superwipe scripts, but because they are not for this device they do not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What exactly fails? The factory reset in CWM won't format the SDcard partition, btw. Only stock recovery does that.
I would suggest to flash a stock system using odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651794). That'll revert the system and recovery to stock and you can do a factory reset.
I have fixed my problem, I don't know if it will help the OP. But here is what I did.
Downloaded ODIN plus the stock 3.2 honeycome odin file for my model p7500 (Unzip it too ). booted my tab holding power and vol down. Once the samsung logo comes up, release power.
Press Vol UP to select "Download Mode". Open ODIN, connect usb cable pc --> tablet and press volume up on tab again, to confirm download mode.
ODIN will recognize the tab, select the file you just unzipped, and click start... once finished you should be back to stock, so you can re-root. Like I had too
Now I just hope that my device is fixed and wont freeze anymore

Put the tab in download mode and Odin the stock tar.
+1. You will lose everything on your internal storage by the way, but its the best way to wipe any bad data or damage that has been done short of a hard brick.
Its quite refreshing actually I'm glad I did mine and it proved I didn't need half the junk that was on it lol!
@jaytee84: please tell your device's model my friend,and tell which firmware you are currently running

[Q] My device won't start up - Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000

I have got a Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000. My friend has actually made an update (claims to), and now my phone won't boot! I get the first Screen as
"Samsung Galaxy Note GT N7000" after which the Samsung logo splash should follow, but simply doesn't. All I get is a black screen. With the Volume Down + Power + home I get the "Downloading Do Not Turn Target off" and it just stays that way, I don't really think it is actually downloading anything. With Volume Up + Power + Home I get "Manual Mode" of some recovery mode. Wherein I have
Reboot
Update from External SD
Update from Cache
Wipe External SD
Wipe Cache
Reboot just simply does the same, I get a black screen after Samsung Galaxy screen. What could be wrong with my phone? I have no idea, help please.
Edit:
I have Odin downloaded, and in the Download Mode, I get that COM:ID port added, but I have no clue where to proceed from there on.

If you downloaded the I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_INU from SAMMOBILE.com you shouldn't flash that using Recovery mode.
You should boot to download mode. Hold Volume down + Home + Power Key.
Run Odin click PDA and choose that file you downloaded.

[Q] SIII will not boot

Hi
So I've had my Samsung SIII for just over 18 months, and it's all worked fine etc. I've never rooted it or anything.
But this morning it will not boot up. When I try to switch it on the start up sequence happens, but it gets stuck on the flashing Samsung splash screen. If I turn it off it just restarts and ends up back on that screen. The only way to stop it is to take the battery out.
I've tried starting it in recovery mode (power+home button+vol up), but the standing, open android just flashes and I end up with the android lay down with the red exclamation mark from there. It then loops between the two androids and the Samsung SIII start up logo screen. I have tried to press the volume buttons whilst on the red exclamation mark screen but cannot get to anywhere from it.
However, it will load the download mode (power+home button+ vol down) just fine.
I have looked all over but most people encountering anything similar have rooted their devices, which I have not.
Also, last week I lost all of my contacts which were stored on the device (I don't know why) but that might have something to do with it.
I don't particularly want to hard reset the phone and lose everything, but if it's the only solution I will do.
Thanks.
In download mode is the product number shown or a blank?
If it shows i9300 then you have a good chance of flashing either a full stock rom or a rescue firmware (see general forum) using odin. You will need to factory reset in recovery afterward, but your data is almost certainly unrecoverable.
If the product number is blank then you have partial SDS and require a new motherboard.

Do has boomboomer said above but as a last resort before flashing back to stock or a rescue firmware if you flash PhilZ recovery in download mode with odin.You then have a Aroma option in PhilZ recovery to browse and copy phone files so you may be able to recover some data pictures etc.
Please read PhilZ thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << and the special features thread about Aroma file manager in post #3
Please note use as a last resort to get your data back! and read everything! Also all this is presuming you can get into PhilZ recovery after flashing..
I'm having the same problem , been looking through lots of topics. When I switch on the phone it's not booting android guy lays on his back. Download mode and Android Recovery are in my range.
I've been trying to flash stock-firmware from sammobile.com with ODIN but no effect , I mean It all went OK in Odin Operation list than fially phone reset and PASS. But this android guy is still laying on his back and making fun of me xD
Before trying to get back to stock ROM, I've had rooted phone and installed RR with 4.4.2 for S3, now I don't have a clue what shall I do next ...
Any ideas ? (the noob[me] have asked )

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello xda, first post n00b here,
I recently got my hands on a SIII (lot better then my old htc one V), and I wanted to install cyanogenmod on it. So I installed the i9300 recovery rom on it and for a short while it seemed to work, but when I tryed to sideload cyanogenmod something went wrong. Everytime I rebooted I got thrown into the downloading, do not power off target!!-screen.
I quickly found my mistake, I did not have an i9300 I had an i9305. With some help from the lovely people at #cyanogenmod (shout out to you PsychoI3ob) I figured out I had to flash the stock rom. I could not figure out how to do this with heimdall, so I downloaded Odin. With Odin, everything went right untill it was somewhere around 99%. The write failed. Now the only thing I see when I but the batteries in my phone is: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
So now I would like to know: Did my phone just become a paperweight or is there still anything I can do?
Thanks a lot for reading trough!
If you can get back into download mode by shutting down your phone, and then boot while holding the volume down, home button and power button simultaneously you could try reflashing stock ROM through Odin.
If the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in then you will have to take the battery back out, and then whilst pressing Vol Down and Home button put the battery in (I've had the same issue on a Galaxy Ace II with the phone booting as soon as the battery was put in, but managed to get back into download mode and reflash by doing as I described)
If you manage to successfully reflash, boot into recovery (turn off, then hold Vol Up, Home and Power) and do a factory reset from there just for good measure.
Good luck :good:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." It is also download mode. You can use Odin to flash while this screen has been displayed or launch Kies and restore your original firmware by firmware initialization option from tools menu.
Write model name GT-I9305 and your phone serial number (under battery). Kies will check what version of firmware was originally pre-installed on that device. Will download and flash it automatically. After that you can upgrade to newest stock. Write custom recovery via Odin, flash custom rom from CWM.
