My iphone 4s is taking forever to reset?

I bought an iphone 4s off of my cousin and reset it today back to factory settings. The phone was jailbroken, and unlocked. It has been resetting for about 8 hours with a black screen and a rotating circle, is that a good thing, or should I be worried? Why is it taking to long, and will it stop any time soon? Also, will the phone still be unlocked after everything is done?

Lol. You didn't have to wait that long at all. My iPhone 4s is jailbroken so I know what you're talking about. Anyways, all you needed to do was hold down both the power switch and the home button and the apple logo should show up. There are many videos on youtube on this particular matter too. Just search perhaps Stuck on Recovery Mode? Or White circle of death?

  • WHY IS MY IPHONE TAKING FOREVER? I have the iphone 4 and its literally taking forever to send a text, the bar goes almost all the way… Then nothing and this phone is brand new
  • Why is my iPhone taking forever to sync? This is all I see when I sync. I just installed iTunes and this is my first time syncing to this computer. I just upgraded to iOS 7 today Also, my iPhone doesn't have the "Syncing please don't remove" like it does on my other computer. Mark, I find your lack of knowledge disturbing. I saw your avatar though and I was surprised. Usually Americans are smart *sarcasm*
  • Why is my iPhone taking forever to send text messages? I have an iPhone 4 and I don't know why just all of a sudden it's taking forever to send messages! My phone keeps saying storage almost full so I don't know if that's a problem but I deleted a lot of my messages and it didn't do anything but can someone help me and find a solution? What can I do to make it stop, thank you
  • Why is my iPhone 5s taking forever to find the new update for iOS 8? My phone is connected to Wi-Fi, and it's plugged in. It keeps saying, "Checking for update…" with the loading thing next to it. It's been like this for the last 20 mins. It's really getting annoying…
