The problem is you installed and tethered jailbreak so every time you close your device you had to go to your PC and boots from PC and not alone. So what you should have done is go to your PC and reported from iTunes not from inside your wet. So now that you're stuck there the only thing you can do is To enter the dfu mode and than try to connect. You should do it multiple times and it will not be established at first time I've the same problem too and I was stuck there for about day and I was trying all day long since I didn't connect my device to iTunes.
