I went to install the new samsung update. I've used odin and never had many problems, but it didnt start the donwload, i removed the usb cable (while on the download screen on phone). Unplugged again, unresponsive to odin. Turned off phone and now when i turn it back on I get icon of PHONE ! Computer
I can't search for anything, because it's saaying the search is down for 5 minutes (10 minutes ago) . I know there is info on here for this but can someone tell me or point me where the correct link is so i dont mess up the phone.
THANKS!!

I took out battery, phone is off, plugged in usb cable and I get the icon of the phone with exclamation point and PC. I never was able to get to download mode without using adb reboot download, but obviously now, i cant get to adb because it doesnt find the device anymore.
Don't worry about the icon, just do the same procedure and it'll do on download mode

But you can't because it doesnt see the device... im freaking out...
after you pull the battery and put back in, hold down the up and down volume buttons, THEN plug the usb in WHILE holding the volume buttons.
just imaging the icon with the phone and the pc is the battery icon... and do the same procedure... you will get to download mode again. and restart your computer and try.
That happened to me and just replaced my phone with tmobile and got a brand new one, yrust me nothing works when is in that image I gave up and called tmobile.

I was on Vibrant9 (I liked that one the best).
I hope I didnt kill this, if I did, then many people are going to
I've had my phone with this icon numerous times and had no problems getting back to download mode, like the previous poster said, just pretend its the battery icon and repeat the steps

Nope, this is not working, did this 10 times. I put battery back in, hold up.down then plug usb while holding, the screen keeps coming back the same. But like i keep saying, i was NEVER able to get to download mode before. Must have tried it 200 times.
take the battery out, put it back in. Plug the device and when you see the icon, hold vol up and down and power, as soon as the screen goes black remove your finger from the power button, but KEEP holding the vol. buttons until the dl screen comes on
Batt and cable off, plug cable hold buttons then battery in.
Remember u broke it u bought it, but ofcourse tmo will have to fix something U broke.

oh well, no matter what i try , it keeps going back to same screen. This is freaking frustrating. In my reading on here, there seems to be some people that are not able to get into donwload mode from the buttons. If this is the case for me, do i have ANY other options then bringing it to be Tmobile. I have only had the phone for 3 weeks, but i really want to get it resolved without bringing it in, i have lots of stuff on phone (i have backup off the phone).
Try all the steps here if you haven't already:

You know that they can probably fix it and that its not really BRICKED then when they find out that he had Superuser.apk, they'll add a fee to his bill and that would be even worse.
Alright, so my Continuum has been bricked for some time now. I was attempting to root and install a custom recovery through ODIN but got messed up somewhere along the way and in effect bricked my Continuum. It wont turn on, wont indicate charging and wont do anything else I try to get it to do. I'm reaching out to you Continuum experts who know something about ODIN or un-bricking so I can potentially bring my Continuum back to life. I loved that phone, but my stupidity ruined the fun. I'm thinking that if there's some way to re-enter download mode that might help. Thanks everyone!
There is a sticky thread about bricking your phone. It says enter the irc and wait. There isn't enough info given to decipher the problem. And if you can't get into download mode, I don't think you really can't do much but take it in to Verizon. But there may be hope.... in the irc.

To get into download mode, try pulling your battery and holding the power button for 20 seconds. Then put the battery back in and try download.

Sorry, what are the button combinations for download mode? I should also mention that I have absolutely no way of knowing whether or not my battery is even charged anymore because they phone does nothing when I plug it into the charger. In fact, my computer doesn't even recognize when I plug the phone in.
Alright, so I guess the first answer to my question is actually getting into download mode. I'm attempting to charge the battery as we speak.
to enter download mode, hold the volume down button down while hitting the power button to turn the phone on

If the volume down/ power button combo doesn't work to get into download mode, try this: unplug the usb cable, take the battery out, then hold the volume down button and plug the usb cable into the phone. That should bring you into download mode.

Not sure if you're still looking to fix this, but try to make a download mode jig, or buy one, like they use on the GSM variants of the SGS phone lineup. It works on the CDMA models, but usually isn't needed. If that doesn't work, you may be able to try the Fascinate un-brickable mod, though I don't know if that will work or not.
Hey Guys I need some help please!
I have a friend, which will be joining this thread soon, that has a samsung tab 2 GT-P3113 7" .
He is not able to power on the device, I suggested holding the power button down for 30-40 seconds but that didn't work.
He charged it overnight and he can see the charging icon, he then tried again holding the power button for 30-40 seconds...still nothing.
He informed me that when he connects his tab to his computer it says:" I should install OMAP3440 driver for connection".
Sorry , this is all I have, I'm not familiar with the tab 2 .
Thank you!
Isnt there a reset button/procedure? Like hold power button and volume up or down?
My P3110 will not arrive till next week so i can say for sure.
Try holding the Volume Down button and the power button. Keep holding them and you should get a warning about running custom software. If you get this, then you could download an Odin restore package and flash it to the tablet to get it back up and running. The fact that it shows the charging image is a good sign, Hopefully it can be fixed from there.

Yes, I did, but it doesn't work for this tab. Only there is a good sign I can see: the charging icon come up when I plug tab to wall or pc, and when I try to connect to pc, I get a message from pc saying I should install driver for OMAP3440. This is the driver for Texas Instrument processor that come inside tab.
I don't know if this tab is bricked or not, so I'm stop just at this step.
Thanks & thank you so much to spagman72 for his valuable help

Yes, I did exactly as you have said, but it doesn't work, nothing warning about custom software, just black screen. Also, pls note that when I try to connect to pc, I get a message from pc saying I should install driver for OMAP3440. This is the driver for Texas Instrument processor that come inside tab.
Thank you
It is for omap4430 driver (not omap 3440)
Correction: when i have connected tab to pc, message is for install drivers OMAP4430, not OMAP3440 as I have said before. Very sorry for this mistake. :crying: :crying:
Anyone to help pls..!!
When you see the charging icon unplug it from the charger then try and power and vol down. Don't keep holding power for to long or it will hard reboot it before it gets to download mode.

Thank you RomsWell but when I unplug the charger and then press power and vol down keys nothing changes, just black screen. I think this tab is totally dead and another friend told me that I'll need a JTAG service. Anyone know about this, or where can I get it?
Thanks again

Love your rom btw try volume down, (for download), or volume up, (for recovery), First then hold/engage power button and hold, then release power button after boot screen blacks out and continue to hold up or down volume for recovery/download. Appropriate screen should pop up...if you get that far there are many options and I'm sure someone here can help you

My tab does this periodically...I usually just let it sit then hold down the power button and it boots. All stock, unrooted.

If you can get into download mode it may be a good idea to try flashing firmware through Odin to rebuild it back to factory.
I had the same issue after flashing the wrong kernel/ Rom combo while trying to get ubuntu touch to boot.

I had this same problem with one of my Samsung tab 2 GT-P3113 7.0's. After trying everything I could find online I decided to open it up and have a look inside. Opening a 7.0 is different than a 10.1 so check a YouTube video to see how it is done. After removing the back cover I immediately noticed that a small ribbon cable had some how become disconnected. I simply snapped it back into place then checked all of the other ribbon cables I could see and then tried to turn the unit on and it worked! problem solved!
If you have tried all of the other methods posted then you should give this a try, because at that point you have nothing to lose.
My Tablet gets handled by a lot of people daily and most likely it was dropped which caused the cable to be knocked free of its connection.

i use the odin v3.07. alright here is what i did i removed the battery press the vol down button the home key the but by the time i could press the power button the phone was already powered on. so i removed the battery and placed back in and the phone vibrated and booted up.so i though it was the power button that is defective in the sense that a trigger is closed thus allowing the device to be powered up without pressing the power button. but as for the ADB im not familiar with it.
1+1=2 , bro your power Button is shorted ! open and check it !
In sum, earlier today I was using my phone with no problems-- calls, texts, using apps etc. I went to 'close my screen' when I was done using it and I realized the side power/lock screen button was not working and my screen was not responding when I wanted to lock it. I removed the battery hoping it would reset the phone and fix what was wrong but now my phone will not turn back on. I plugged the phone into the wall for at least 30 minutes as well as plugging it in the computer for quite some time. No response from the phone at all. (no charging icon, computer is not detecting the usb cable when plugged into computer, etc.)I also held the buttons down to try to power on as well.
I was wondering if there was a way to fix this problem, or somehow retrieve files (mainly pictures) from the phone,
Thank you for your help. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Are you able to listen that click sound?
Tap the phone's power button on a flat surface.
Or
Open the phone and try to get the power button leave its stuck position
Or
Go to any local mobile repair shop, they'll do it for you
It is a stuck power button issue..and you wont be able to get in recovery.
If you can get into recovery, flash aroma file manager and paste your files on your ext sd..

Try pulling the battery out (for at least 5 minutes), putting back in and then holding "Volume Down" + "Home" + "Power".
IF you could see a warning screen appearing, then press "Volume Down".
IF the phone restarts, you'll be good
But if it could start, please make a backup of all your files!
And if not, then enter in that mode again and try to flash a new firmware through ODIN.
OH! AND IF YOU WANT TO RECOVER YOUR FILES, DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!
If you want your files, flash TWRP and pull your files to your pc through ADB.

I do not believe the power button is stuck as I can hear the slight clicking sound when pressing.
The phone did not respond when I tried to restart my pressing volume down, home and power buttons.

You couldn't even enter in download mode. I think your phone is dead. And no, there will be no easy ways to recover your files without special tools.

The battery might be dead. Try changing the battery and then try turning it on
If not. Remove the battery, plug it in to a PC using your usb and see if by using the 3 key combination it enters the download mode?
If these dont work..buy a USB jig...Charge your phone..(just leave it plugged in) after 15 min...insert the USB jig.and you'll see download mode.
