I also have the same error, updating for the first time. Tried restoring from backup but keeps giving me unknown error (6) or unknown error (13). Went to my local o2 shop and they advising me that it is something to do with my PC but i have tried this on my laptop also. Any help would be appreciated as my iphone is now stuck with just the apple logo and then turns to the usb cable with itunes logo
