Right, it's actually both buttons held down roughly 7 seconds to get the reboot... Glad you figured it out, though! Just remember, doing anything other than what Apple intended you to do could potentially harm the phone..

That being said, these are just software changes that 99.99% of the time can be fixed by simply rebooting and fully restoring to a fresh .ipsw...

I know personally I'm not the least worried about physical harm to my device.
