My all personal data has been washed just because of this nonsense error. I am so disappointed from it. Is there any solution to fix it?

If you see one of the errors below, you might have a hardware issue:

  • 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 56


Here's what to check. Try again after each step:

  1. If iTunes is already open, quit and reopen it.
  2. Check your third-party security software.
  3. Make sure that your USB cable, computer, and network are reliable. Then try twice more to restore your iOS device.
  4. Check for outdated or modified software. 


If you still see the error, contact Apple Support.
