You need to put it into DFU mode and restore it. DFU mode will work, if you don't get in to DFU mode the first time just keep trying. DFU mode will always work unless your device has a hardware problem.
 
ive tried that about 4 times now by the way my iphone is a iphone 4 and jailbroken i just read up i should not have pressed erase ive also tried ireb to try and fix ut its definatly not a hardware problem as its fine apart form it wont get out of erase all data mode
 
For future reference never click erase all data on a jail broken iPhone. You have to restore through iTunes when your phone is jailbroken.

Unless the device is running iOS 5 or higher. Then it just gets stuck at the Apple logo. A force restart later and everything is back.
 
Happy to know that your problem is solved. “Intell” is right don't ever “Erase all data” function in jailbrek iPhone, just restore it through iTunes.
