Hi, you can restore your iPhone 5c with the iCloud backup file. Here are the steps:


On your iPhone 5c, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Confirm the action. In the Setup Assistant, proceed to "Set up your device" tap Restore from a Backup, then sign in to iCloud. Proceed to "Choose backup" then choose from a list of available backups in iCloud. By doing this, the data you've backed up to iCloud will be in your iPhone 5c. However, before try the way, you should know that data on your iPhone 5c will be erased. If you only want to selectively pick some data from your iPhone 4, like CONTACTS, MESSAGES, NOTES, etc. I think you'd better try Dr.Fone for iOS to scan the iCloud backup file and transfer wanted data to your iPhone 5c.
