Hi,

I have Samsung galaxy S GT-I9003, which is almost 3 years old. Today, just after setting the Pin for screen lock, I tried verify and even the correct pin was not accepted.

After some googling, I did a failure effort to flash the ROM using latest Odin. Now, when I switch ON the phone, a picture showing phone connecting to PC is shown and have remove battery to switch off.

Can you please suggest?

Regards,
Shrinath
 
Hello guys i am having a similar problem maybe i loaded the firmware files in ODIN incorrectly and clicked start.the flashing process failed and the phone was stuck in download mode so i waited and after all i pulled the battery out. and now it wont give me any sign of life. It gives no reaction when i press buttons. Even when i connect my i9000 to my PC it doesnt detect and no sound can be heard. Any help will be appreciated

This may be the screen which tells you to connect your device to samsung kies (PC)
 
oh, seems like my bootloader is corrupted and a quick google search makes me feel im in trouble. the chinese MTK phones there bootloader is repaired so easily (without battery using SP flash tool) what about samsung?
 
Its an old phone, Don't you think it's time for an upgrade?
