Hey RoryFolster,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I see from your post that you're unable to restore you're iPhone 7 in recovery mode. I'd be a happy to help out.


I'd like for you to confirm the steps here have been done:


If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If you can’t update or restore your device with recovery mode, or you can't use recovery mode because of broken buttons, contact Apple Support.


Cheers!
