As state my iphone 5 would keep restarting every few mins even when i'm charging. before this happen there is already a problem of the battery percentage on the top right not updating/changing. Since it will auto restart, i cant backup or update the ios and use the phone normally. I am currently on IOS 7.0.2. Any idea what to do? :(:(:(

Update: manage to update the ios to 7.1.1, also tried doing to factory reset. But problem is still not solved, even have trouble restoring my backup from icloud, when i try to log in my icloud, it says "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account"

How did you manage to update your phone to iOS 7.1.1 if your phone keeps restarting?

Also, have you attempted to boot your iPhone into Recovery Mode and do a full Factory Reset (Apple Knowledge Base: HT1808) -> set up as a new phone -> Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings -> Restore from iCloud

Just to check, you followed exactly the steps below?

Recovery Mode:
  1. Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
  2. Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
  3. Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
  4. When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
  5. USB cord pointing the iTunes symbol
  6. iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

Also, try removing the application "Apple Mobile Device Support" as well as iTunes and then followed by re-installing iTunes. If this fails, try plugging your phone into another computer.

Sorry to hear that! :( You able to get another phone to tide you over this period? Wouldn't recommend paying $450 when you can top up a bit more to get a iPhone 6 coming later this year...
