Hi all...well, I jailbroke my iphone with blackra1n. It was nice, but the phone was waaaay too slow. So I decided to re-set it. I went into settings on the phone, then there was a re-set option that erases all media and data, I chose that, it came up with a warning saying it may take 2 hours, I continued. It's now been around 20 hours later...
what is happening is this: the phone sits there with the apple start up logo. The screen goes black, the logo comes back on, with that spinning wheel thing, but it doesn't spin. A few minutes later, it goes black again, the logo appears back up, shortly after, the wheel again. Its been repeating this for about 20 hours. What do I do?
When I plug it up to my computer, it (obviously) doesn't recognize it. I'm kinda freaked out. Any help would be great appreciated!

Did you follow the restore instructions given by the blackra1n vendor? To be honest, this is why Apple doesn't want people screwing around with their phones using third party hacks.

shoot....I never thought to look for instructions...does anyone know what is wrong and what I can do?

wow I fixed it! I tried holding down the sleep and home button, and it turned it off, right before it turned back on, I held down the home button and plugged it into my computer, putting it into recovery mode. iTunes is now restoring it! whew!
