I'm assuming it was jail broken. When an iDevice is jailbroken and you try to erase all contents and settings, you stay at that
circle. Reboot the device. Hold down the home and power button at the same time until the Apple logo appears and let go.

Once you go back to normal, you'll want to connect your device to iTunes and do a restore in order to remove all content.
That will eliminate the jailbreak though.
