iPhone 5 won't get out of recovery mode after failed restore and update.

I tried updating to the new software on my phone and it never went through. Tonight I tried updating, failed. When going to use my phone, it came up as in Recovery Mode. It told me to Restore, which I tried three times so far. Still... NO luck.

I've tried:

- switching USB ports

- switching charging cords (both Apple)

- restarting my computer

- restarting my iPhone 5

- made sure everything was updated and backed up before

Help?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2

A failed Restore by an iPhone is usually a very bad sign. Reading your post shows you have tried very good steps, with no resolution of the problem. Make Genius Reservation or set up Service and take or send iPhone to Apple for Warranty Service.
