Try this. Turn the phone off, start computer and open iTunes, get sync cable, plug cable into phone, hold home button down, plug other end of cable into USB port on computer, keep holding the home button down until iTunes sees phone and identifies that its in DFU mode, click restore.

I was in the same situation as you. I could not get passed the the iTunes logo on the phone.

    Exactly.

    Plus why wouldn't you simply uninstall the cydia apps / tweaks you don't want yourself? It probably takes a total of 3 minutes and seems much safer than downloading an relatively unknown application and hoping nothing goes wrong :-/

    Simply open cydia and go to your packages, click the "simple" button in the top right corner and uninstall everything but the stock cydia packages below:

    APR (/usr/lib)
    APT 0.7 (apt-key)
    APT 0.7 Strict (lib)
    Base Structure
    Big Boss Icon Set
    Bourne-Again SHell
    bzip2
    Core Utilities (/bin)
    Cydia Installer
    Cydia Translations
    Darwin Tools
    Debian Packager
    Debian Utilities
    Diff Utilities
    evasi0n 6.0-6.1.2 Untether
    Find Utilities
    GNU Privacy Guard
    grep
    gzip
    LZMA Utils
    New Curses
    PAM (Apple)
    PAM Modules
    pcre
    Profile Directory
    readline
    sed
    shell-cmds
    system-cmds
    Tape Archive
    UI Kit Tools

    Speed trick: If you want to make things quicker simply uninstall "mobile substrate" from you cydia packages and that will take out all of your tweaks / apps in one shot and then you just have to uninstall a couple of dependency files left.
