Screen flashing and unresponsive

I jailbroke my iPhone today and was using the app Activator, trying to set my phone up so that I could unlock it without needing a passcode (e.g. by swiping the clock left). When I confirmed the new settings (using TapTapPass within Activator) the phone suddenly went black and then started flashing between screens: the home screen, lock screen, and other apps such as Twitter. It has been rapidly flashing between these screens for about an hour.

I can't do a hard reset because the lock (sleep/wake) button is broken on the phone.

I'm not sure if the cause is the jailbreak, Activator or some other problem.

Is there any solution? Thank-you in advance.

It sounds like your problem is most likely with Activator. If you can somehow get the phone to reset or turn off then try holding the volume up button while it is booting and once the apple logo appears on the screen keep holding it until it turns all the way on and your phone will boot in "Substrate disabled" mode disabling your tweaks and allowing you to delete or change the last thing you installed or modified.
