Okay So I have a problem with my phone. ...

Last week while using my phone it froze. So naturally I went ahead and restarted it. It goes to the I guess what you would call. Loading page, meaning It shows Samsung name then goes to the loading screen with the blue bar at the bottom. However it does not load and instead shuts down or looks as it shuts down ie black screen. I tried doing a hard reset at the boot loader will not load which also goes to a black screen.

The phone has had no water damage or been dropped. Is there a way I can re install the original os on it or get it back to factory. Yes I know I will lose all saved data.

Ok I hope I understood your problem properly. Here is some things that you can try.

1. Pull out the battery wait 30 seconds and put it back in. Hold the volume up and down and press the power button for 3 seconds. After that release ONLY the power button while still holding the volume up and down. The recovery menu should show up from there. Sounds to me like you are rooted. If you are wipe the phone and restore your most recent backup that worked. If you are not rooted wipe the phone by using the volume keys to get to wipe factory reset and pressing the home button on the soft keys to active the wipe.

2. If nothing happens to your phone and it simply does not work what you want to do is sit at your computer and download odin (below this thread I will point you to the post that you can do this from). You need Odin and you also need the UVDE for the stock rom on your phone. Basically go to this thread and http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t-mobile/569097-how-revert-gingerbread-ics-go-ics-gb.html grab odin and also grab the UVDE or the rom file. What comes afterwards is basically what is described in the guide. Put your phone in download mode - holding volume up and down while plugging your phone to the usb cable which is already connected to your computer. A screen should appear and press volume up to aknoledge the warning. After that follow the guide - it is meant to help you restore back to stock even if you are unable to access the recovery.
