when you dropped it, the LCD display screen connector plug got loose thats y it goes to a white screen, open the 2 screws at the bottom, and get a plastic suction cup like ones to hold storage things onto bathroom tiles and stuff and put it on the screen and gently pull it at the lower part near the home button and just re-seat the connector for the lcd display and you are all good.

I suggest you try this to get out of DFU mode.
1)Turn off your iPhone.
2)To TURN ON, press HOME button together with the ON/OFF button simultaneously then release the ON/OFF button once you see the silver apple logo.
3) NOTE: Hold your HOME button, do not release until you reach your LOCKSCREEN.
Hope this help.
