Try putting the device in DFU mode for restore purposes, and make sure you're connected to the internet.

Throw it really hard against a brick wall. I am obviously joking...do what JustMe'd said. If that doesn't work, take a nice trip to an apple store!

Dude, just follow the instructions above. Place the device in DFU mode while connected to iTunes. If you think that your device has a malfunctioning retina display then take it to the nearest Apple Store.

Give it time. If after an hour (no, it shouldn't take that long), it's not cleared up, try it again. Yes, I am serious! If after that, it still won't load iOS and go to your homescreen, make a Genius Bar appointment with the nearest Apple Store.
