Firstly, copying the recoveryfs to the rootfs won't work. When a factory reset is done, the device is booted using the recoveryfs, that then formats the rootfs and unpacks the firmware to the roots and installs a uImage and uBoot file.

From your description and the video, you aren't doing the correct steps for a factory reset using the buttons. They are:

- Charge the device for at least an hour to make sure there is sufficient battery charge.
- Hold the power slider in the off position for at least 20 second.
- Hold the light button down and push the power slider over and release it.
- When the LED start to flash, release the light button.

If that doesn't work the first time, repeat but extend the time for each step a little.

In case it still doesn't work, I'll send you a PM with a link to the firmware in a few moments.
