Have you cleared the cache partition from recovery mode? Volume up-power-home held at the same time Then use the volume to go down to clear cache partition use the power button then use volume to say yes.

This will not mess with any of your settings it just clears out all the old files

It's frustrating when your device is not working properly, phab2. Did you install or update any 3rd party apps on the device? Can you confirm the software version on your device? Here's a link to help you check http://vz.to/2dwsDUi , Please respond back so we can continue to work on your device.

We want to make sure your device is working properly. We do recommend doing a factory reset on your device. However, before you do the factory reset please make sure your content is backed up to the Verizon Cloud or any other backup assistant you use.

Oh, dear! I'm sorry to hear the factory reset did not go as planned, Phab2. You are not without options, though. When a regular factory reset is not working, the software repair step mentioned earlier is the way to go. You can follow these steps and the program will repair and install the correct software onto your device: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-80201/
