How are you trying to reset it? If it's corrupted while you're trying to do it alone via Wi-Fi with just the phone, it's never going to reset by itself again if iOS is broken.
The only way to properly restore it to factory settings once the operating system is corrupted would be to use a computer (Mac or PC) with the iPhone in recovery mode. The computer will then download a full iOS package and rebuild it on the iPhone.
Instructions for doing that are here:
