Okay here is the story...
my iPhone for had iOS 4.1 (Well what ever one was before iOS 4.2.1) It was jailbroken. i decided I wanted to update to iOS 4.2.1. (Note: Update, not Restore). It all seemed to go well. until the end, I got an error. And my phone wouldnt boot. Now in continuously goes into either recovery mode. or keeps rebooting.
I have tried:
restoring again.
restoring through DFU
Waiting
Kicking out of recovery methods (such as Tiny Umbrella)
I have tried everything I could think of...
But its just the same thing. It is only 9 days old...
I'm scared.

Thanks guys, this is what I did.
I waited all night for the 4.1 firmware to download. I tried to restore to the 4.2.1 formware again so I could get the stable recovery mode and then from there I restored back to 4.1. It went into recovery mode, and I got so worried, luckily I tried to kick it out of recovery mode from there, and it worked. Its fine now.
Thanks people.
I messed mine up a bit ago too, I just kept trying edu mode and restoring to a older firmware which I had stored on my pc and eventually it worked.
I was also very worried when it happened :(
 
The problem is that you used a tethered Jailbreak. That means every time you reboot the iphone, it goes into Recovery mode. You have to hook it up to the computer and re-break the phone.

So far there is no way to have an untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1.

Just re-jailbreak your iphone and keep it on. Standby counts as still being on, but sleeping.
