PLEASE help me..

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.

Stuck at "Phone ! Computer" screen, cant get to recovery/download mode

So yesterday my Kies said there was a new firmware for my SGS, and after backing up my data with kies, i started updating it. The update got stuck at 71% for 2 hours, so i decided to disconnect the cable and recover the phone afterwards. But i cant get to connection mode or download mode, I've read lots of threads in this forum, tried many combinations, tried to release power when the icon disappears, but nothing... The image with the phone, triangle and computer appears all the time, and i haven't seen anything other than this.
Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone when connected since i tried to update the firmware.. I have also tried with Odin, but i got the same result.
So, anyone can help me? I won this phone in a christmas contest, and they haven't delivery the warranty yet, so im kinda stuck.
thanks for your time reading this.

Hum, i was trying to avoid that method, but i guess i will give it a try later. First i will try to get my warranty.

The same thing happened to me a month or so ago, I managed to get it in to download mode by removing the battery, putting it back in and being very quick with my fingers to get it in to download then flashed with odin.

You backed up your data did you back up your original rom by any chance ??

Remove your battery for 10 min. then try again if u hadn't solved 3 button combination before

very good point.
If you want to fix it yourself the mentioned battery pull will probably work.
(pull the battery out, wait a few seconds, put it back in, voldown-home-power and you should be in download)

I had a similar problem some time ago (Phone ! PC screen)... I disconnected the battery for half a day came home from uni and put the battery into the phone, while holding ALL (hard) buttons at the same time... then, download mode actually went through

@Ricardo_1991
If you remove the battery for some time(10 min.) and you still can't access download-mode then Sbl on your device has been corrupted while kies did flash the ROM, take it to a samsung service center and get it fixed.

You probably have done this but ensure your usb cable is REMOVED until you get the download mode working.

Personally I'd use the jig. As soon as you have that jig built you can have your phopne working again (and updated) in less than 30mins. Who knows how long it will take the service centre to fix it.

I agree, but im from Portugal, and i dont have any nearby store where i can buy all the materials. What i can do is order the micro sim thing from amazon.co.uk, and the 301K resistor from somewhere else..
ps: the sellers of resistors in amazon wont send them to portugal, only the micro sim plug

What was the app, and where did you download it from?
And if you hooked your phone up to kies and it saw it....then the phone must be powered up. Remove the battery again, wait 10 minutes, then replace it.

From the silence I assume he realised he hadn't actually turned his phone off at all and sorted it out...or the app killed HIM as well.

Nope im not dead and im a she not a he.
Yes the phone has power but only shows a black screen.
Yes the battery has actually been out all night.
No Kies did not tell me anything i got a box up on my phone when it conected saying could not connect as application open.
The application was called Kids mode by zoodles.
They have sent me 2 ways to reset my phone one of which to hold down the volume button then press the power button which shows a menu choose clear storage using the volume button and the phone should be restored....it doesnt do any of that just turns on.
The other way is this
a) Install the Android SDK from a website they mentioned
b) Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable
c) Type "adb uninstall com.zoodles.kidmode"
of which i am currently attempting to understand.
If you know any different then your help would be appreciated.

oh and the app itself i found on the android market on my phone

try getting into recovery by pressing vol up+home button+power and release when the S logo pops up

Thank you for that. It didnt work.
Have been defeated all this messing about so have taken in to have system rebooted.

I had the same almost and am still locked in the "Logo of Limbo" ( the big S) after 10 days and dealers trying this and that. Can't say it was an app that caused it, but it seems resetting SGS is a task and a half sometimes

Well, it's not pressing but holding:
Shut down the phone
Hold Vol-Up+Home and power
Release power when you see "Galaxy S, GT-i9000, Samsung" blinks
if this doesnt work, try Vol+Down instead of Up, and update the status here with what you see.

Samsung Galaxy Y wont turn on

So my Samsung Galaxy Y unexpectedly turned off yesterday. When I try to turn it on it just turns on until the Samsung Galaxy Y GT-s5360 or the welcome screen but turns off again so I tried three times before it turned on. I was able to use the phone for like 5 minutes then it turned off again and from then on I can only turn it on until the Samsung Galaxy Y Welcome screen for 5 seconds only. Take note only 5 seconds or less than 10 seconds. This is not boot loop I am sure for the phone turns off. When I try the volume up + home button + switch button I cannot do anything with it since it turns off in less than 10 seconds. I've been asking around other sites and people told me that this might be because of the internal memory and I think they are correct because my phone has been saying internal memory almost full but I simply uninstall apps. But if this is true then how am I able to delete files if I cannot even access my phone. I dont wanna go to a technician and have it reformated because I would be paying much and I have important files that cant be deleted. Please help me. I need your reply thanks.

Can you enter to odin mode? ( volume down + menu button + power button).

1. download odin packages from docky73's thread.
2.Remove everything from your
phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your
computer WITHOUT the battery.
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
now flash phone via odin...
it may work

Is your problem fixed?

so finally my advice to u..try the process i tried first..if still it doesnt work..l got no choice but too take ie to the service center...and dont worry they wont charge u anything if your cell is in the warranty period even if its rooted as they hardly bother about it

simply

DONT PRESS POWER,
PRESS POWER + HOME + VOLUME UP TOGETHER WHILE THE PHONE IS OFF

power switch problem
change power switch 100% working

I had the same problem,charge ur phone or while it's plugged in charger press (vol up+main+power) their clear ur internal memory no other way have to format internel memory..or try flashing a custom from.

samsung tab 2 bricked GT-P3113 7" won't turn on but shows charging Icon

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.

It is for omap4430 driver (not omap 3440)

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.

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!

Hi guys, i got same problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3110, but my when charging is showing charging icon for 3 sec, then switch off over and over again, when i unplug from charger, display switch on and show again for 3sec logo Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 then switch off over and over again. I try all keys combination but just one working. When is unplug from charger i press Volume - and Power then on display come Screen with Warning!! (Download Mode) but like before go off after 3sec again.
I think that will be battery dead or faulty, what you think guys about it.??

Maybe the battery its damaged

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.
