Sorry I thought that was the right pic, now I can't find the one I was trying to show you now...

The point I was trying to get at is, does it hang at a screen saying "factory reset processing" on a black background?[/QUOTE
No when i do the button combo and go into recovery i see a white screen and then i press yes for factory reset. But when it goes into TWRP all it does is do something called running openrecovery script and it literally factory resets the phone if you go into TWRP with the button combo.

Can you get a screen shot of the the event as it is happening in TWRP (hopefully at the end, once it completes, assuming that it doesn't automatically restart)? Screenshots in TWRP are taken the same way as is normal for this phone (hold volume down and power)

Which version did you flash, 2.8.1.0 (kitkat) or 2.8.5.0 (lollipop)? If you have only done one, try the other.

Did you check the md5 sum of your download to make sure it was not a bad download? Also, where did you get the download from?
