Hi Feather2112,


When an iPhone is showing the connect to a computer screen for recovery, the only option is to restore the iOS software using a computer.


If you don't have a computer yourself or one you can borrow, bring your iPhone to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them help restore your iPhone:

Best of luck.
