As has already been pointed out, you can't set the value of the file input.
What you can do though is to keep the image uploaded the first time round,
and send back a form adding a "Keep existing upload" (perhaps along with a
thumbnail of the image), thus saving the user from uploading the image over
and over until they fill in the rest of the form correctly.
