For anyone to help you, you need to clearly describe what is happening. (Number of reboots, measured time between reboots, whether the screen is any different each time, and a good description of the screen.
No reboot or anything. It was just stuck on software update screen and progress bar indicating around 95% completion. I plugged in the charger and waited for another hour and finally decided to press and hold the power button for 40 seconds. Screen flashed and it appeared to reboot and the 'update' to factory firmware began all over again. This time it completed within 10 minutes and rest of the jail breaking process was smooth

Thanks for the help guys!
