@David
This is because you haven’t follow the process correctly.Please note that:
1.Hold the Home key for 3-5 seconds
2.Hold both Home key + Power key for 10 seconds
3.Now, release Power key but continue to hold Home key for 30 seconds
4.Note:Don’t forget to hold the Home key for the above 3 steps of jailbreaking.
I think you should read the step10 and try this process again.
Feel free to bother me regards if your Iphone dosn’t work.
