Help No flying android at start up - no OS?

After rooting and removing programs and screwing up my Exhibit, I've ended up with no flying android graphic at boot. I've wiped my OS, haven't I? Phone stays on Samsung Exhibit logo, that's it.

This only happened some point after many attempts trying to restore to stock settings with Odin, as per the XDA site instructions (I can get to recovery mode, but factory settings option is gone).

So, if I have wiped my OS, can I get it back, and if so, are there a series of steps anyone can share? I'm pretty illiterate with tech-talk so I'll investigate mysterious phrases and acronyms on my own, but it would be nice to know what to do next. Thanks, everyone.
