My iPhone is failing in updating from 10.3.1 iOS to 13.5.1 iOS and is stuck with [The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (code 2006).]. I need to be able to hardware reset the iPhone to factory defaults as though a New iPhone install.
iPhone SE, iOS 13
Error code 2006 refers to your USB connection, USB cable, USB port, or computer.
Per Apple, here's what to check. Try again after each step:
If you still see an error, contact Apple Support.
That process IS NOT working. After selecting "restore" the software server is contacted, the software is extracted, and then... when it tries to update/restore it errors out with the message "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unexpected error occurred (2006)." This is the part I need help getting past.
THAT was very helpful. I searched the error code and didn't find anything specific. But those steps lead me to a solution. THANKS.
To put it in Recovery Mode and Restore it as new, you’ll have to connected it to your computer:
Hard Reset of iPhone SE
