Apple logo, iphone won't restore?

I have a 3gs (5.0.1) which was jailbroken for over a year but had recently started dropping call and Wi-Fi signal whenever I tried to make calls. From my research this might have been an issue from using cracked apps so I decided to restore it.

I did the method on the apple page, dfu mode and restore it on itunes but now I have the apple logo and it won't start up or anything. I've tried the method several times but everytime it completes all I get is the apple logo screen.

Any suggestions?

OOO you tight bro:3 lmao: P

Go buy a real phone

First, do this:

Then, restore your phone on iTunes.

Alternatively, before you try that, you can download TinyUmbrella and try to kick it out of recovery mode. No guarantee for success for this second method.
