Question

i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

Answer 1

I have run into the same problem. 
1.  I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s.  She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did.  After I did we ran into problems with messaging.  Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked.  When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy.  I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7.  I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2.  I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account.  It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4.  Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5.  I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times.  The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup.  It does not matter which I select.  It prompts me to connect to iTunes again.  The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings. 
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?
