bearww, We just figured out how to fix this. Go to "Settings", then "General", scroll all the way to the bottom to "Reset" then select "Reset all Settings" it will ask for your 4 number pass code twice after that choose "Reset All Settings" When the process is all done you should be able to shut off Find my iPhone, delete your iCloud account and restore your phone. We ended up not having to restore our phone because we were able to fix our issues after this. You will have to go back and reset all your settings after this but all of our information and apps were still on the phone. I hope this helps you.
