[Q] unable to remove soft BRICK on samsung galaxy S3 ATT - General Questions and Answers

experts
I tried to custom install custom rom on my samsung galaxy S III (ATT). After several unsuccessful attempts, my phone is stuck in soft brick mode (shows Samsung Galaxy after reboot and get stuck there).
I installed custom recover mode apps (CWM, TWRP). I am unable to install custom ROMs using these apps in recover mode. I get NAND write error failed and also "No OS installed error"
When I put the phone in Download mode, the device shows the following.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Qualcomm Secure boot: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3
I am guessing Samsung is blocking custom installs. I am unable to recover the phone to samsung custom rom since I don't have recovery code from Samsung Kies. i can't get back to stock rom as there is no OS installed.
Can you suggest some ideas on how to get past the soft brick ?
-regards

[Completed] Is there any way to fix a soft bricked Galaxy s3 i9305T?

I tried to root my phone, and after doing what I thought was the correct thing I am now unable to boot android. The phone has a screen saying Do Not Turn Off Target Device, and when I can get it in to odin mode usually goes back to that screen, occasionally I can get into the recovery, and I wiped partition data and cache data.
When it goes to Odin Mode it says:
Product Name: GT-I9305T
Custom Binary Download: Yes (29 Counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Offical
Knox Warranty Void: Yes
AP SWREV: A2
I believe you'd need a stock firmware flashed in order to boot.
Please post in Australian Galaxy S3 Thread so that one of the experts may be of help.
