You should be able to hook your iPhone to a computer and do a restore from iTunes and that will fix it.

Put the device in DFU mode and restore via iTunes. Since you committed a jailbreak sin (erasing all contents and settings), it will take you several restore attempts before you're finally successful so be patient.

If you're using a downloaded .ipsw file, make sure it isn't corrupted, and if you're trying to download from Apple's servers, make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection.

You shouldn't have to.

If i didn't use tinyumbrella it would give me a 3194 error. if i did use it, it would be stuck on Preparing iPhone for restore... Do i really have to keep on pressing restore? I remember doing this to my my iPod 4G (ios 6.1.2) and i forgot the method of how to fix it

Are you telling me that 4 months later, you still haven't gotten the phone up and running? If so, make a Genius Bar appointment with the nearest Apple Store to have them diagnose the problem for you.

If it were me, I'd make a Genius Bar appointment with the nearest Apple Store just in case it's something that may require a replacement.
