I'm afraid I have bad news. You can't recover your phone without a computer once the phone has been disabled with too many wrong passcodes. You need to restore with iTuness and that is explained here. And you will lose your data on the phone now that it is disabled and you apparently do not have an iTunes backup. You'll have to get someone to let you use their computer with iTunes installed or the phone remains and expensive paperweight.
