If you rooted the file using an sd card, you could always take out the sd card and try rebooting it using your computer. If that doesn't work, try this. I used this method of resetting my Android device and it helped me
Step 1
Visit the Android Developers site to download the Android System Development Kit (see Resources). Right-click the ZIP archive and choose “Extract All.” Click “Browse” and choose your “C:\Program Files” directory.
Step 2
Click the folder you extracted and press “F2” to rename it. Give the folder a simple, descriptive name, such as “AndroidADT.”
Step 3
Right-click “Computer” in your file browser and choose “Properties.” Click “Advanced System Settings” and, in the System Properties window, click “Environment Variables.”
Step 4
Click “Path” and “Edit” in the System Variables window. When the Edit System Variable window opens, your path variable is selected, so press “End” to move the cursor to the end of the selection. If you type while the path is selected, you'll erase your path variable.
Step 5
Type “;C:\Program Files\AndroidADT\sdk\platform-tools\” (without quotes here and throughout) and ensure that you include the semicolon at the beginning of the path. Click “OK” to save your changes.
Step 6
Point your cursor to the upper-right corner of the screen and click “Search.” Type “cmd” in the Search box and click the program icon in the search results to launch the Command Prompt window.
Step 7
Turn on your Android phone and connect it to a USB port on your computer. Type “adb shell” and press “Enter.” When ADB connects to your device, type “--wipe_data” and press “Enter.” Your phone restarts in recovery mode and restores Android to factory settings.
