You and about every one that has downloaded this. You'll have to put in DFU mode and do a fresh restore, sorry.

i need to save my files somehow... couldnt i just re-jailbreak it or something? or SSH into it and remove whatever is causing this?

itunes will let you redownload what you have already purchased.

[sTrAnGe mOdS]

yes but ive also got many apps and videos from cydia that would be a real pain to re-download

No, you can't do anything else other than restoring through iTunes.
Sorry man.

1st Gen, 2G, iPhone Edge - These are all referred to the First iPhone with the metal back.

Same thing happened to me, phone was stuck on pineapple screen. I waited about 3 hours and nothing happened so i decided to try and fix it with success!
I triputting my phone into recovery mode an then restoring through itunes but when doing so, itunbes would just give me an error message.
The fix: Put your phone into recovery mode, download and install the lastest firmware 3.0 through itunes. Use the Pawnage tool to unlock/ jailbreak your phone and thats it. when i reopened i tunes i was able to install the custom firmware created by pawnage tool and aslso restore my phone to the last time i sync it.

good luck!
