First of all i want to thank everyone that will try to help.
I have a problem with my Lenovo A680. I try to do factory reset through the recovery. First time i tried, i got an error message "Can not get phone encrypt state". After that i tryied to root with Kingo Root and everything went well. I rebooted the phone and root was gone. No application super user or something. Then i said i was going to do factory reset again. I went to recovery and presses yes to factory reset. It said all done and rebooted into system. There everything was as i had them before. All my apps installed and nothing changed. I even tried to use sp flash tools to download the official rom into my lenovo. Still nothing happends. Then i go for the format+download or firmware update. Nothing happends again. Tried to only format the device to see if i get into the system (and i guess i should not) and i boot into it. Please help me to restore it to factory settings....
P.S. the reason i wanted to factory reset is that sometimes it stuck sometimes on booting and sometimes on usage.

Hello everyone I am scared I bricked my phone.
So I tried installing a rom and did a factory reset deleting everything (including the OS). I did root the phone but something went wrong so I factory reset it. Now when I press the power button I get the "google" black screen and nothing. I then shut it down and went to the bootloader. I stupidly forgot to recover my old stuff like an idiot and now the phone has OS.
Can you help me with a step by step guide to restore this phone?
Flash the factory image to get it back to stock (see nice, big sticky thread in General), then try again

Factory reset is a misnomer, as it does not restore the phone to its factory state. All factory reset does is erase the data partition (along with cache and internal storage obviously). Any changes you make to the system ROM, kernel, recovery, etc. persist after a factory reset. The only way to restore the phone to its factory state is to flash the factory image. Refer to the tutorial to flash the factory image. Next time do your homework before you start tinkering.
After searching through countless threads on this site, I've had no avail in resetting my Rogers Samsung Galaxy S6 running XtreStoLite 2.2.
A little while ago, I thought it would be a good idea to encrypt my phone with a custom ROM installed. I knew I had recovery and download mode, so I thought It'd be no biggie. Left the phone on overnight encrypting, came back 24 hours later and knew that it hung somewhere. Booted it up and this screen came up: Reset it and restored from TWRP backup, the same screen right here came up: http ://i.imgur.com/J37aZaq .png (sorry XDA will not let me post links, remove spaces) after this, I tried pressing the "reset device" button without success. It just rebooted the phone. Tried to restore from a different backup, no avail, then I tried to flash my custom ROM again through TWRP, no avail. I download ODIN and flashed stock Samsung firmware onto it and it still gave me this screen when I was done. Tried going into TWRP and factory resetting (where it wipes all partitions) and nothing happened. Currently, I'm trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S6 with the stock firmware through ODIN with the "re-parition" box checked.
It seems there's a hardware flag of some sort stopping this from working. I mean, my file system is brand new, reset to factory defaults, I even checked with ADB and everything has been formatted. Checked with TWRP file manager and everything is good. But I can't get past the "Encryption Failed" screen.
Help me! Thanks.

did you fix this?
Hi, i am encountering the same problem with my G920F.
I have the XtreStoLite_Deo_Mod_v.2.3 and also TWRP installed
I started encrypting but it got stuck so i rebooted my phone and got the same message (Encryption failed, please do a factory reset). So i did the reset but the same screen appeared. I also tried restoring from a back-up from TWRP but the same screen was still there. So i decided to do a full wipe and restore the phone with a twrp back up witch was on my laptop. But when i am in TWRP i can not copy files to (or from) my phone. So it is not possible to get the backup on my phone. I am able to get in to download mode and connect the phone with odin.
My questions are :
- what was the solution to the problem?
- What causes the copying error? And what is the solution? So i can put the backup on my phone and try to restore it this way.
- What are my option with odin? Can i use the TWRP files in odin?
Thanks a lot in advance

Solved the issue. After a full wipe i installed a stock firmware with odin. It still displayed encryption failed after reboot. But after the factory reset the notification was gone.
I have fixed this
Best solution is on a stock rom to reset. If rooted with recovery -format and wipe all data, reset, let sit at boot for a while, go into recovery and install new rom from USB-OTG, or odin from download mode.
I flashed the RR 7.1.1 rom on my Phone. The phone started well and after setting up everything I did the factory reset. After that the phone restarted into recovery. Now its stuck at recovery. Everytime I restart the phone to system it restarts into recovery only. I tried flashing again but no result. What shall I do???
Explain the steps you followed which will give idea for others to help you. Have you tried wiping system and flashing the ROM.
Hi,
I can't stop rebooting to CWM after I did a factory reset in android.
I had been using bulldroid, but I did a factory reset to give the phone to someone else, and it kept booting to CWM.
So I just installed bulldroid again from .zip file in CWM, and it said it was successful, but after you reboot, it keeps doing the same thing.
How do I get the phone to actually boot to the firmware again so I can use it?

Take a look at this:

Just look down the thread and you will find the procedure explained in english, too.
Also, see this, too:

Have you tried to flash CWM again with Odin ?
