Hey there syb65,

I understand that your iPhone is asking you to restore your device.

I would recommend connecting your iPhone to iTunes on a computer and restoring it. Then try bringing over your data from your backup.

Heres how:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup

If you require further assistance after following these Apple resources, please reach out to Apple Support

Take care.
