I just found my first phone ever and decided to start it up. I found out the password and decided to factory reset it since I’m planning on selling it. However, ever since I resetted it, it has been stuck on the same “Installing applications” screen (see image). I tried the volume up+power button+home button tactic and chose factory reset and then boot system, but it won’t budge. Anybody know how to solve this?
I’ll try out this suggestion! I haven’t done this before so I’m a bit unsure what guides are the best, but I’m sure I’ll find something. Thank you for helping!

It’s an older Samsung phone, so chances are you may have to use Samsung’s Odin utility to flash the ROM
