Q: ios 9.3.1 has 'broken' my iphone 5s

Actually my sons phone (it loaded without problems on my 6plus) - the install failed during on phone installation and was stuck at the Apple Logo (Looping almost).

I put the phone into DFU mode and connected to iTunes on the PC and;

 

  1. tried to Update - this failed with an error 21 (*means many things but implies that the IPSW file is wrong)
  2. tried to restore - this just failed
  3. turned off Findmyphone and repeated the above - error 21 has now gone but there is still no success
  4. Downloaded several IPSW files and repeated the above (all in DFU mode) still no luck

 

Does anyone know:-

 

  1. What the solution to this is, or
  2. where I can get accredited IPSW files?

 

Any help gratefully received
