Sorry if this has been posted about already, but I'm desperate to fix this ASAP..
About a month ago I loaded the Nougat beta onto my phone.. I didn't like the way it was killing my battery, so opted out the beta. After my phone rebooted and was erasing data in preparation for downgrading to Marshmallow again, it got stuck on "erasing" for literally 45 minutes or more. I went online and found I wasn't the only beta user to experience this. Many people did a force reboot, which is what I did, to get back to the Marshmallow setup screen.
Unfortunately, since then, whenever I try to get into recovery mode to wipe the cache, it goes to an "erasing" screen, much like the one I experienced after I first removed myself from the Nougat beta program. So basically, selecting recovery puts me into a data erase screen every time. Needless to say, this is the last time I'll be trying recovery mode until I can get help doing a FULL reset on my phone, including a fresh stock bootloader/recovery mode..
Being very novice at the boot screen stuff, but pretty computer literate, what is my next step to getting to a REAL "fresh" setup?
Thanks!
