Root will not go past boot screen, no manual 3 button recovery!

Hi all,

Very new to this so bare with me if i seem a little daft and if this has been answered before.

Had my galaxy s a few months and noticed a lot of lagging on it recently. So i rooted my phone (worked fine) and then installed the lag fix for it and all was ok, running super quick.

I then went on Samsung kies and it told me i could update my firmware so i pressed ok without changing any settings on the phone from the root and lagfix and went through the process. After it had finished i disconnected the phone and tried to boot it. However it will only get to the galaxy s boot screen after the animation, it then goes blank although the options and return buttons light up and it vibrates intermittently.

I do not seem to have access to the 3button manual recovery or download modes so I am a little bit stuck if honest. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
