Why can't I exit recovery mode

I reasently bought a iPhone 5 from a friend with Cydia I don't use it so I tried to delete it by going into Cydia packages Cydia installer it rebooted fine then I erased all settings and content then the black apple with white background came with a loading Line underneath it never started even after 3-4 hours so I shut it off and put its self into a recovery loop I tried to recover then got an error now it's has a red iTunes logo with a lightning cord underneath and even tho making the noise when plugging into my computer it doesn't show up in iTunes any idea how to fix this if even possible
