So I wanted to delete my iphone from the databank in trackmyiphone app but I didnt realise that erase was erase everything on the phone remotely and now its reset and is just got a spinning icon a bunch on small lines going around in a circle, I presume its attempting to wipe it but its taking ages because of the JB so tell my effed in the A am I?
 
Maybe next time you'll pay attention to the warning that pops up when you push the erase button asking you to confirm that you want to remotely wipe your iDevice.

You will have to wait for the erase to complete (which will take quite some time) and then restore from a backup (if there is one).

For future reference, try using punctuation marks (like periods and commas) and correct app names (trackmyiphone ≠ Find My iPhone).
 
So you had a JB 4S and then remote wiped it with findmyiphone?
What happens is when do you an erase all or you send a remote wipe command on a JB device then you need to plug it to itunes and do a DFU restore in order for it to load up again.
All your data and everything that was on it is gone. Hope you had a recent backup if you needed anything on it cause if you dont then everything that was there is gone for good.
