Suddenly my phone restarted and flash and gear icon appeared. Tried restarting with power button and volume down keys but phone restarts and shows same screen again.

Model: Lumia 720

My OS is Windows Phone 8. Thank you

Edit Letting the phone to completely drain the battery, charging it, turning it on and selecting the Reset your phone option solved my problem.
