I would try backing it up, resetting it, and restoring it.
If that doesn't work, contact Apple.

Hope I helped.

What error code is iTunes giving you? And if you're asking if restoring and updating are the same, yes, because if you restore, it'll put you in the newest firmware.

Well, I am thinking with the jailbroken device, it may have crashed, or just yiu aren't being able to update, due to it being jailbroken.

I highly doubt it, as it will still be jailbroken. (I believe)

I want to say yes, after you restore your backup, you should be on iOS 8 with your stuff back, but don't quote me on this.
