I needed to erase my iPhone 4 using iCloud, can't get past the loading circle.

I needed to erase my iPhone 4 doing the icloud.com/find method because I forgot my passcode to it. After erasing, it told me that 'once my iPhone connects to the internet it will erase'. After a couple of seconds the screen blacked, then it showed the Apple Logo with a loading bar on the bottom. After it finished that, it showed me a loading circle...

any second now...

aaaaannnny time now.....

Ugh. It's been like 20 minutes and it's still showing me this darn loading circle..

I've tried doing the power+home button thing but once it turns on it just automatically shows me the apple logo plus the loading bar, then to the loading circle again.

Please please pleaseee I need help on this.

Thanks!


I'm using iOS 7.1.2

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2, null

Did you try using recovery mode?
