Hi guys, title says it all. I tried running a factory reset but my phone battery died when I was on the bus. Now it's stuck on the ATT screen and I can't get in despite pulling out the battery for more than 30 seconds etc. I have no idea how to flash my memory or whatever. But if that's the way to fix it, can someone please guide me?

Thanks!
 
Boot in to recovery and do another FDR.

To get in to recovery, power down the phone. Hold the home button, volup and power.

When you get in to recovery, scroll down to wipe data/factory reset.

When you reboot the phone, give it 5 minutes or so before calling it quits.
 
If that doesn't help you'll have to try reloading the firmware.
You may be able to do that using the Kies software. Or you could try taking it to a Best Buy - they apparently have some Samsung Service Centre where they can do that.
