My 5S just crashed to the Apple logo. Cant get it to restore. Can anyone help?
Im taking my family out of town tomorrow and cant get to a Apple store. Any ideas? Im trying a DFU restore but I keep getting a timed out error.

Any help is really appreciated
 
It recognizes the phone but says its passcode locked and can’t restore until I put the passcode in which is impossible. Im on the phone with AppleCare but they seems stumped also. :(
 
Looks like I got it resolved. Tried to restore it in a different USB port and it seemed to work. Man I feel relieved. :)
 
If that had happened with an Android phone, who would you have turned to for help? Nice to have Apple support and a cadre of loyal bloggers.

If you have a stock android phone, just call Google.

For Samsung, just call Samsung.

XDA forums is full of developers and are a huge asset

No clue with others but I have to imagine Moto would be google.
