Same thing happened to me. May sound crazy but this is what i did and it worked great.. hold the home button while you insert the cable while its attached to your macbook, keep holding till the connect to itunes logos show up. then do a restore to ios 8.1. if you still wanna jailbreak after you did all that, setup your phone as new before you jailbreak and you can restore your backup afterwards. good luck
