Well, it's not DFU your stuck in it's recovery mode, but that's what you need to do to restore it.
Put in DFU, restore in iTunes to a fresh copy of 3.0. Always set up as a new phone, not restore. You will be able to sync with iTunes when your done to recover your contacts apps and stuff.
Here are instructions for DFU. Install Cydia only, not Icy
DFU mode
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Turn off iPhone
Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
Good luck
Alternative Method:
Step 1. Connect iPhone to USB then listen to the sound when it connect and disconnect.
Step 2. Hold the home and power buttons until hear the disconnect sound then release power button.
Step 3. Wait until you hear another sound then release home button.
