Sadly all the cookie-cutter responses redirect you to a generic troubleshooting link (use the latest version of iTunes, different cables, computers, etc), which obviously doesn't work 90% of the time.

Having repaired hundreds of iPhones since 2007, I have found that error 4013 is usually caused by a flash chip/mcu failure due to damage to the main board by hard drops or liquid damage. Your best option to save all your data, is take it to a local independent repair shop, and have them clean up the main board with a chemically solution (should be no charge unless it works). As a last resort take it to an Apple store, and pay a bunch to have them replace it.
