You have no choice. You said earlier that your device was in recovery mode. That is the only option for recovery mode. Restore.

Have ur phone back to work?

I had this problem too with an iPhone 5s. I bought a 3GS in '99 and this is the first time I've had a problem. I was connected to my Mac, not by wifi. Fortunatly, I do my updates in iTunes so I had a recent backup (last night 17 GB). Something went wrong but it was late last night and didn't pay much attention and let it pass. This AM I started up my iPhone and it was in recovery mode. I seleced the restore from backup option but nothing seemed to happen (it created a small MB sized backup file) did a very quick Sync and cyclyed back to a state where it wanted to register.

After trying to do that a couple of times I noticed the "restore from backup" button was active on the iTunes and I clicked it. It took about 20 min but everything seems to be as it was.

One possible explanation of why this happened is that I had limited space laft on my HD (SSD, about 20 GB, maybe less I can't remember) and the backup for the phone was about 17 GB.

I had the same issue where my phone "bricked" after updating to 7.1.1. It wouldn't update and put my iphone 4s in restore mode. I tried to restore it on my computer but it kept giving me errors (connection error, 3014 error, re-cycling to restore again). Nothing seemed to work. The Apple tech that helped me was helpful and we tried a few things. Finally I had to use a different computer with a fresh Itunes download and that restored my iphone.

I did lose everything on that iphone but luckily it didn't have much on it. I feel for those that had their lives on it.

Hope this helps someone out.

Good luck

You have to connect using the directions for recovery mode, described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

No idea where you got that notion.

so the only way to make your phone go to normal is repeat the procedure

note repeat the procedure restore using itunes recovery mode..
