    You can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:

    Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken iPhone.

     

    You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.

     

    Good luck.
