First off how did you the factory reset? Second what recovery where you using. Hopefully you did it in recovery! We could have easily fixed your phone before the factory reset. Someone here may still be able to help after you doing the reset.
The reason your phone had a black screen was because your phone has a newer LCD screen. The fix would have just install a different recovery like Xoinia recovery which is compatible with all screens. But now that you unrooted and factory reset is a different question. Hopefully someone can help.
