can you wipe the phone and then choose to restore from the cloud and select a backup from a few days prior?
How do you get in recovery mode?
Definitely, as long as you're good with losing anything that you've done since the backup was taken.
I've done a restore from backup already no luck anybody got theirs working?
You can't just restore from an iCloud backup; that doesn't downgrade you from 8.0.1 back to 8.0. You have to do it via iTunes.
