Yesterday I jailbroke my iPhone 4 with Evasi0n 7. However, I decided I wanted to wait until everything was updated for iOS 7, so I tapped on "Erase All Content and Settings" in settings. Huge mistake. I never knew that doing that usually puts you in a boot loop. It was just stuck at the screen that's black with the gray loading circle, the same screen you get when you turn off your device. I waited for it to die, then charged it and brought it back to normal. So then I decided to restore it from "Find my iPhone." Another bad mistake (I still don't know why I never just restored from iTunes). Now whenever I wait for it to die, it turns back on and then keeps trying to restore itself because Find my iPhone has a restored queued up on my iPhone. Even if I quickly put it in Airplane Mode once it turns on, it still tries to restore. My power button is broken so I can't put it in DFU mode or recovery mode. How can I get it working again?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone Stuck in bootloop?

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually let it die, then I held the home button, waited after about 20 min for it to turn back on, then finally I could let go of the home button because that put it in recovery mode.
