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.

Unable to turn it on. totally bricked
So... Are you unable to turn it on due to no fingers?
Lol yea what happened?

1. have you tried "power button" ?
2. have you charged the phone ?
on a bright side, you are the 1st one !
Maybe your battery is loose? Not to mention that bricking a
phone is usually due to screwing up a software flash. So, is brick really the right word?

Thank you guys
I think it's bricked, and unrecoverable.
After several flashing, It suddenly turned off then never woke up again. Any effort so far is hopeless

If you are stuck on the phone to PC screen, you are NOT bricked. During development, I ended up getting into this state a couple times myself. You can still get into download mode in the same fashion.
Connect your phone to USB so you get the phone->PC screen. Press and hold both volume up/down. Then press and also hold Home. Then start pressing and holding power for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, let go of power. Continue holding volume up, volume down, and home, until you get into download mode.

no, a completely blank screen.
no icon, no GUI, no nothing (
Yeah, weird...I just flashed back to US firmware and now my phone is totally unresponsive to everything. Keep in mind I've flashed back and forth several times...even once thought my phone was bricked because the power button wouldn't even turn the screen on. But after holding the correct buttons it finally booted into download mode. I was even using my phone earlier just fine, and having it run quadrant test of 1700, but as soon as I flashed back to 100% stock US firmware, my phone now no longer boots. Go figure lol.
Though this time I think it has bit the dust for real, lol. So be weary of flashing back to US firmware if you are flashing a lot of different other firmwares. Cuz I think something happens and the key combinations get deleted so it refuses to boot into any mode.

I"m at the phone to pc screen..but the Home button is not a "button" it's a touch sensitive button on my vibrant and it won't go into download mode...
I got here because i flashed the custom kernel to put the market and data on a ext4 partition...and it reversed my volume buttons and reversed the routing of sound..headphone speaker..that stuff....so i couldn't hear anything...so when i went to reflash stock t-mobile firmware it told me not to unplug for like hours..it wasn't doing anything.....i took the battery out and now i'm stuck at phone to pc...i think i might just use the warranty..seeing as u can't do a think with it...atleast i can't that is..i feel like a moron...
the forum said to work on com7 but com4 was showing up in odin...i couldn't get it to go on com7 so i thought it should still work....

what was your combination?
I hold volume up and down..then hold home with those..then power for 2 seconds..let go and nothing...it doesn't recognize i'm holding the home because it's a software based button..the home key that is..and with no software...no button...so i'm afraid this screen means bricked...adb reboot download won't work either...i'm gunna get it exchanged in the morning..under buyers remorse..
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
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

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).

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.
I have been trying to turn on my phone for several hours and it just won't turn on, the battery is full as well. I have tried many solutions such as
1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
This method wouldn't help, my phone is still off. I really need help . Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to unbrick it without jigging it? I know that it has been hard bricked but I tried out many methods

seens a hard brick. what u did to get this?
Try taking out the battery, starting Odin on your computer, plugging the phone into the usb cable connected to the computer, and while holding both the up and down volume buttons stick the battery back in to get into download mode. From there you should be able to Odin back to stock.
If that doesn't work you're SOL. You'll have to do what was suggested in your thread in general.
Sent from my ZenDroid using XDA Premium App
If you truly are hard bricked you are gonna need to find a JIG because that's the only way out of that. Other wise take your battery out god down the volume keys and put it back in and you should see the download screen. If you don't somthong deeper is wrong.

You need to purchase a (JIG) like the previous member suggested and try getting in download mode, you can buy one on eBay for about $3 simply search for (Download Mode USB Jig for Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant). I hope this helps.
have odin up pull out your battery plug usb into phone then hold power and volume down and insert battery at the same time this should get you into download mode. It may take 3 or 4 tries to get it. you have to pull battery before plugging mini usb into phone and must do the button combo and while inserting battery it would be easier being an octopus to do this but it should work if it doesnt you will need a jig. It is very hard to fully hard brick vibrants keep trying this method it took me 5 times to get into download. search the vibrant forums for odin for noobs it will give you links to all files you will need to get back to stock and start over. pm me if you need further assistance.
thank you, still trying but no luck. Im going in for surgery for my cancer so wont have much time on the phone for a wile

Last night I was bale to get into the download mode and then I started downloading Gingerbread. Now my phone is not powering up. I called up samsung and as it under warranty, they are ready to fix. My problem is they will find out what I was doing and this might breach some samsung regulation. not sure???

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.

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.

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!

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.
