Welcome to AC :)
Why do you need to perform a factory reset? If the display is damaged, a factory reset won't help with anything since the damage is to the hardware, not software.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 running SlimKat 4.4.4

i want to delete my files and stuffs so that i can sell the parts. thanks

hi guys. pls help me

Sorry for the extremely late reply. Sometimes the threads don't shoe properly in my "participated" and get moved back so I don't see them..
Anyway, you can wipe the phone by booting into recovery mode (hold power + volume up + power with the phone off). Then use the volume buttons to navigate to factory reset and use the power button to select the option.
