Try holding the power and menu button and connect it to Kies to see any message on device or in Kies software.Might be your phone would get recognized and can get recovered.Else,you have to take it to service centre.

Then update it using 2G or 3G connection or Wi-Fi as Kies is not so reliable software as it's failing to install at right moment.
