My GPS has been crapping out so I'm trying to do a factory reset. Go through the steps and it just hangs on the little green android dude after I initiate the factory reset. Finally got the nerve to just power it down and restart and it boots to the home screen as though nothing happened . . .

Would you mind detailing what steps you went through?
I'm curious because it sounds like you did a factory reset through the rom you're running.
Ever attempt a factory reset and cache clear via CWM or TWRP (not sure of its proper acronym excuse the error)

HEY YALL...ok this cricket mercury m886 a customer brought in to do a factory reset but the hard reset from recovery doesnt do anything..just goes back to the pattern lock screen?? what gives? i tried many times, it says in recovert its completed and i did a wipe cache but still same results? any help will be highly appreciated!! thanks
i have the same problem，i get to purple screen try toreplace the custom recovery.img，but i restart the phone is restore original recovery.img
I also had this problem with my friends tablet, It was an alcatel tablet, I was able to access recovery mode and I wiped data but nothing happened. My friend found a hole at the back of the tablet and inserted a push pin and there it is it was wiped! Maybe there's something like a button in your device to factory reset it?
I recently tried to reset a phone to factory conditions and used ODIN. I followed every step from a Youtube video for the same model of phone and it seemed as if everything was fine. It even said "Passed" at the end of the reset process, however, when it started back up, the buttons at the bottom of the screen lit up but the screen itself would not turn on at all after the reset. Before the reset, everything was fine. Please and thank you for the help, all is welcome...
Did you try odidning back to stock again?

That is when this happened. I got the phone from a friend and he said that i could have the phone but he tried to root it and the only thing that went wrong was there is now a warning that comes up right away for low storage so he said he concluded that the partitions were mad up in the process of rooting it. So i figured i would just download ODIN and revert everything back to stock conditions. I downloaded ODIN with the tar file and the one for the PDA as well. I followed every step meticulously so i know i did it right but now the phone will turn on and it looks normal but then the screen goes black and only the touch buttons at the bottom light up. Additionally, i can get it into download and recovery mode still. i Have tried to clear cache data and all user data as well from the recovery mode if that helps.
So you can enter recovery. Have you tried flashing a Rom file? Then rebooting?

I have no idea how to do that
Is it clockwork or is it the stock Samsung recovery? What options do you have in recovery menu?
My watch was not being detected by my new phone so I decided to give the ol factory reset a try. and when I did this it got stuck in a infinite boot loop. I did the reset button on the back and it wont fastboot now. have tried to clear all data in the recovery mode but it still has the same problem, see video:
