i restored my phone to get it out of recovery mode and it still goes back to recovery mode

Hi, Courtney!

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities about your iPhone. After reading your post, it looks like your iPhone is in recovery mode, even after attempting to restore it. We'd be happy to help!

We would recommend going through the steps outlined in the Apple Support article If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. This article will have you check for updates on your system, as well as a few other items before going through the recovery restore process again.

If that still does not get your phone out of recovery mode, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly after that: Contact Apple Support.

Best.
