Just keep trying to put it in recovery or DFU mode. It'll eventually take. Unfortunately, you committed a jailbreak sin, as I understand it, when you chose the erase all contents and settings option.

Do you know why doing this would cause a bootloop? Just Curious.

Because when you're jailbroken, the system isn't like normal. When it gets the command to erase, it goes to the springboard. Then a bootloop.
