Can't get out of ClockWork Mod Recovery

I was trying to Factory Reset my tablet, but it keeps boot looping back into the recovery. Recovery version is 6.0.4.8.
Is there a solution?
Please and Thank you, Brock. (AtomicWaffles99)
 
What exactly did you do when you reset it? If you selected the wrong option you could have wiped the OS, so we need to know what exactly you did to guess what the problem is, and hence what the solution might be.

I went to the "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" section, and I only factory reset my tablet. I then pressed the reboot button and it kept going back to the recovery.
 
It's been 5-6 years since I used CWM (it's obsolete on my device), so I'm not familiar with its options, but you are sure you didn't wipe system.

Had you made any modifications to the ROM? Have you taken a backup using CWM? And what if you just shut down, then try restarting. And was there a reason you were resetting?

Sorry for all the questions, but as you know just wiping data shouldn't stop it booting normally, so there must be something else somewhere, it's just guessing what.
 
It sounds like you accidentally installed cwm to your boot partition. I've done it before, tripped me out for a minute or two.  Instead, try flashing it to recovery partition ( a zip works wonders) and then manually boot into recovery to flash a ROM or restore a backup.

See, that's the thing, I don't really know what else could be wrong. I'm 100% positive that I didn't wipe the system and no modifications were made. I've already tried powering it off completely and nothing happened. (I'm sorry if I'm zero help, I just can't seem to find out what the problem is.)

The thing is, I've successfully gone into that ROM before and rebooted the tablet and it was working just fine. This is the only time it happened to me. It's just never done that to me before.
 
Model number?

I can help but only if a model number is posted. I can think of a couple to a few different ways of making things right again.
