How can i fix it? i cant even use my phone now and I'm really frustrated, watching my iphone just restarting over and over again by itself. But its not doing anything, what can i do???!!! Someone help me please...just any way besides having to take it back to apple store!!!!!

Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.

Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.

Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.

Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.

Then, try to restore/update it again. Hope this helps.
