Frozen during factory reset?

[ckrystofiak]

I've been having problems with my phone crashing 5x+ a day to the point of having to do a soft reset each time, so I finally did a master reset but the phone is completely frozen now. Will anything happen if I take the battery out? Everything is backed up, so I don't care about that but I'm worried about the phone not working at all.

Pull the batter and hard reset with this method...

1. Press and hold the Power button.
   If the device is non-responsive, remove then replace the battery. Refer to Battery Inserting / Removing for additional assistance.
   
2. Select Power off.
   
3. Press and hold the Volume Up / Down keys and the Power button simultaneuously. When the Samsung logo appears, release only the Power button.
   
   
4. From the Recovery screen, press the Volume down key to select wipe data / factory reset.
   
5. Select Home.
   
6. Select Volume Up to continue.
   Allow the factory reset process to complete (approximately 1 minute).
   
7. Ensure reboot system now is selected.
   
8. Select Home.
