Plug into wall charger and let it charge up and do a tether boot.

Got it working again, pressed the power button today and the critical battery light came on and immediately plugged it in and got it back running again. So if you ever have to restart your phone NEVER do it under any circumstance when your battery's lower then 20%, im pretty sure mine would've been permanently bricked if the battery was 100% completely out of juice. You phone will NOT charge if your phone dies while the apple logo is up. Gonna play it safe and wait till in untethered comes out this was a huge inconvenience.
