2. Maybe your phone tried to auto-update IOS 8 and got stuck.

Since you had wifii enabled, that is possible, if you have your settings set to allow for auto-download.

I had something like this happen when I tried to update a major IOS change on my old iphone4... Auto restore did the trick, but of course it took hours to get everthing uploaded and the phone back completely.

I'm holding off updating my iphone 5s to IOS 8 for just these kind of reasons. From what I've read, all looks positive so far (except it takes a LOT of storage space), but still, it is a major change.
