Sometimes an iCloud restore can go bonkers on you.......

If it seems frozen, you can most times get it going again by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time. Make sure that you wait until the Apple logo appears.

I want to add it might happen to freeze when the backup version is higher than the embedded OS version!

Eg: Backup version is 7.0.4, device version is 7.0.2, there's a great chance the device freezes...
Fix: Plug to iTunes and install the update first. Then resume backup.
