Help Reflashing Samsung Galaxy S2

[aritokameku]

Hi, I just bought a samsung galaxy s2of ebay. when it came it worked perfectly(this morning) and then i downloaded kies onto my computer so i could update it. I tried a few times and it wouldnt update, it froze when it came to the downloading do not turn off target. so i unplugged the battery and put it back in, switched it on and now nothing loads up but a black screen that has 3 icons on it, a phone, a triangle with a exclamation mark in he middle, and a pc.
I have tried switching it off and on, and resetting it but nothing happens, it just goes back to the screen.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

You tried booting to fastboot or odin mode and connecting to the computer?

odin mode would be download mode im guessing??

sounds like he has to reflash the factory image back to it

treat that screen as download mode. I would revert back to stock this point and start over.

I was wondering if somebody could give me a simple guide to doing this? I bought 1 earlier and tried to apply updates using kies and now its messed up. when i switch it on it stays on the same blank screen with 3 icons phone, triangle and computer.
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me

I PM'd you with a question about some information that we need before you can reflash back to stock. We need to know which device you have. There are two Galaxy S2 devices - the Original i777 and the newer skyrocket i727, assuming you're in the US. 9100 is for our european friends

This post was moved to the Samsung Galaxy S2 section by me, so that the user can get more answers from other subject matter experts.

OP is from the UK, so the device would be a GSM device, not the CDMA skyrocket
