Iphone screen black but siri working?

I have a jailbroken iphone 5 running on ios 7 I was on cydia installing a tweek when I was playing with assistive touch and accidentally locked my screen unlocked it then it said that performing actions while installing something can be dangerous then it was stuck on configuring for like 25 mins the I powered off and turned it back on and everything was fine I opened an app and it was fine then opened cydia and it said that it couldn't install the tweek then it froze on cydia znd didn't let me click anything and turned black siri works but and I can't trn it off tried holding power and home but didn't work this happened to me before while using another app and I turned it off and back on but what i'm afraid of is that cydia might have caused a software problem. Did it cause a software problem? What do I do? If I wait till it dies will it turn back on? Please help As soon as possible!

Added (1). holding lock button didn't turn it off I did it for 40 sec holding home and lock didn't work iether

Might be a brick, hold the top button and home key at the same time for 30 seconds then it should come back on.

Christian, hold down the lock button for 30+ seconds. Once you've done that try turning it back on by holding down the power button in conjunction with the home button. If it does not turn on you will have to do a volume up reboot. To do this, simply hold down the volume up button and the lock button.

Omg thank you so much

I had this exact same problem
worked wonders sthanks so much!1

Thank you you saved my life

Awesome that is very helpful. Its now up and running again.

  • Why is IPhone Siri funnier than iPad Siri? I have an iPad mini. Siri is so boring on mine. She just says, "I can't answer that." Or "is that so?". On my friends iPhone, she replies really funny. Also on the Internet I see funny convos with Siri all from iPhone and not on iPad mini. Why is it that siri is funnier on iPhone? They are both part of apple!
  • My iphone went black but not totally black and i don't know what to do? So i was on my phone and i opened up the snapchat app and it just froze and went black but not totally black like how it is when it is off you can still see a little light. I really have to have it for tomorrow and i don't know what to do, i tried pressing the home and top button at the same time but its not doing anything.
  • My iphone screen went black, but the phone is still working? I was using my phone all day long and it was working perfectly. Then all of a sudden the screen went black and I thought the screen just dimmed down, so I hit the lock button but it stayed that way. Every once in a while it would light up for like one second when i got a text, but then go black again. My sound still works and everything just the screen is black. What can i do?
  • My iPhone screen goes black and won't come on but if I press the screen you can hear the key bored? I've only had this iPhone for 2days! The screen comes back on after a while nut it keeps going black
