First try holding down the lock/home button until the device turns off, then try turning it back on. If that doesn't work, put the device into DFU mode, or put it into Recovery Mode (turn off phone with method above, and then hold the home button while connecting it to iTunes), and then do a restore in iTunes.
 
Yeah you'll be fine. My friend was playing with my phone (he's a 2G owner so the speed of the 3GS amazes him haha) and decided to DL the mobile installation patch for me. Problem is, he is running 2.2 (or whatever 2. version it was before 3.0) on his phone thus he is used to DLing those versions of thing and got me that one instead of the 3.0 version. After rebooting my phone just stayed on the apple with the "working" status circle for like 10mins then reset itself and repeated the process. ITunes still recognized my phone when I plugged it in but I just couldn't get into it via the phone itself so I had to restore. It was annoying that I had to start back over with the jailbreak thing and re-DL everthing and redo all my JB settings, but it's a minor inconvieniencd that is WAY better than having a permenantly screwed phone.

I just wish there were a way to backup a jailbroken phone that way should you mess something up and need a restore you don't have to start from scratch again.
