My jailbroken iPhone 5 was working perfectly fine for a while. But then trouble hit... I left it charging on the table. When I returned, my phone was totally unresponsive. Nothing worked could bring my phone back to life!

I've tried:

Hard reset (home & power button)
DFU button sequence
Charging phone overnight
Holding the home button while connecting the power chord.
"Just boot" with redsn0w

The only thing that has drawn a response out of my phone is plugging it into my computer and attempting to restore it. The screen lights up, but I back out of the restore before it truly begins. Since I'm running iOS 7.0 I really don't want to update and restore because I would lose jailbreak capability. (I am familiar with jailbreaking and have jailbroken devices previously. I don't think I added any ridiculous tweaks to crash my phone. It had only been jailbroken for approximately one day)

Reds0w and iTunes both recognize the iPhone 5 so I know it isn't "dead"

Heres how each program recognizes it:
Redsn0w (soft DFU mode)
iTunes (recovery mode)

What I'm asking is: is there any way that I can revive my Jailbroken iPhone 5 iOS 7.0 without going through a factory restore and update. I really don't want to loose my jailbreak because I know the 7.1 jailbreak may not even happen. Any help on this matter would be extremely appreciated!!!
