How was the iPhone 5 erased? You should be able to just connect to iTunes and go through the activation process.

Hi Chris, I thought my phone was stolen so I blocked it and erased all data via "find my phone" on iCloud

Yes but if you backed up to Itunes or I Cloud, it should be easy enough to get your information back on your phone.

You cannot get anything back FROM an erased phone. The original post had to do with restoring content to an erased phone from a backup. A backup is the only way to get something back onto an erased phone.
