The information in the thread title is different from that in the post. To answer the post, go to Settings → General → Reset, and then select "Erase All Contents and Settings". When the process is complete, or will be prompted with the Welcome screen. Follow the self-explanatory prompts until you come to the one that asks if you want to restore from a backup. Select to restore from an iCloud backup.

If you can access your iCloud account, you can try to download a full backup with your data, then extract the contacts from it. I used this tutorial to retrieve the contacts from an older iPhone.

The next step is to import the exported file directly to your iPhone. I exported them in vCard format and I sent an email with that file attached. When I clicked on it, the import was done in a few seconds.
