iPhone Help - iPhone reset loop, power button broken, won't show in iTunes

[sudn3sc3d]

Hey guys, I have gotten into a serious mess and really need a way out. So here's the deal, I had Cydia on my iPhone 4 (had totally forgotten about it), and I reset the phone (All contents and Settings) from the Settings menu.

Now, the loading spinner has been running for the past 8 hours. The power button does not work, so I cannot do a hard reset. The phone is not being detected by my computer and won't show up in iTunes.

Here's what I'm hoping for: when the phone battery runs off, I plug it back in and the phone will start. At that point, I can do a restore from iTunes. Do you think this will work? Any ideas on how I can drain the battery faster?

Please help

Go here and try DFU IPSW

But seriously, if you intend to keep the phone, fix the power button.

Nice! Didn't know about that...

Thanks a bunch. I finally got it work.

Basically, I let the phone's battery die. Then I plugged it in back to iTunes, the phone started and I did a restore through iTunes. Worked like a charm.
