for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then press and hold the Home button

If you just see an apple logo or your phone does not turn on, there is a software problem and you will need to restore your iPhone. I didn't want to hear it, because now I had to redo everything; but it's the only solution.

Put your iPhone into recovery mode.

To put your iPhone in recovery mode:
Step 1: Plug in your iPhone to your computer, make sure your sound is turned on and not muted.
Step 2: Hold the top corner button for two seconds. You should hear a sound.
Step 3: Now, still holding the top power button, immediately press the home button and hold both buttons for 10 seconds. You should hear another sound from your computer.

Step 4: Release the power button but *continue holding the home button*, for another 30 seconds.
Step 5: Meanwhile, continue holding the Home button and open iTunes. Wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode. You should also hear a third sound from your computer during this time.

Step 6: Click on your iPhone in iTunes. It should say it's in recovery mode and need to be restored. Step 7: Click OK and restore it.

Now you will need to re-jailbreak it, and restore your backup, and also put your music back in.

Good Luck!

To reset your phone you need to hold the power button and home button. Because you cannot do this, I would open up the iphone and repair the button. To open up easily use a -> iPhone Cheetah Mount and replace or fix the button. The iPhone is like a computer, it needs to reset at times. Your only solution would be to let the battery drain to zero and plug it back in.

Here are the steps to reset the iPhone. You probably performed the first reset, try the other resets.:
