How many times have you tried? Sometimes it can take up to 5 times. When it says reboot. Do a hard reboot. Volume up, volume down, hold lock button untill screen goes black.
I have tries over 10 times rebooting each time. Doing a hard reboot does not solve the issue.

@BaileyRob41 go into dfu mode, come out of dfu mode, then try jailbreaking again.

I had the same problem as you. I would get the same message and I'm running IOS 13.3 iPhone XS. The way it started for me was my phone was already jailbroken a few days ago but yesterday I tried installing a tweak that made my phone freeze and then restart and I ended up losing my jailbreak from unc0ver. Cydia and ReProvision were still on my phone but I couldn't open them because I wasn't jailbroken because I lost my jailbreak. I tried everything and nothing worked. I tried jailbreaking my phone like 5 times before that error message started popping up and the jailbreak process would finish and my phone would restart but it took a very long time for it to restart my phone and when my phone finally turned on it still wasn't jailbroken and then after that the error message started popping up. Somehow along the way I was able to delete the unc0ver profile I don't remember how but then I ended up reinstalling unc0ver through AltStore with the ipa.
After reinstalling unc0ver these are the steps that I did that ended up fixing and getting my phone to jailbreak.
Make sure Siri is turned off and Airplane mode is turned on.
Soft reboot your phone by quickly pressing and releasing the volume up button and quickly pressing and releasing the volume down button and then press and hold the side button until your phone reboots and shows the apple logo.
After your phone is turned on make sure that airplane mode is still on and make sure your wifi is disabled and off.
Go into the unc0ver app and try jailbreaking your phone while airplane mode is turned on and wifi is off. (For me the error message didn't pop up because I think doing step 2 made it stop). For me it didn't jailbreak my phone after it rebooted because I still couldn't open Cydia or ReProvision, but doing this step tricked the system into thinking I jailbroke my phone but it didn't work
Make sure Airplane mode is still on and wifi is off and go back into unc0ver and go into settings and turn on RestoreRootFS and restore the phone. The phone still thinks it was jailbroken from before so when restoring it, it got rid of Cydia and ReProvision.
After it restores, go back into unc0ver while airplane mode is on and wifi is turned off and make sure RestoreRootFS is disable in settings and try jailbreaking your phone. It should jailbreak, reboot and it should be jailbroken with Cydia installed :)

@darkvvibes Airplane mode has absolutely nothing to do with anything...
