cant restore my iphone 5C..tried going thru itunes, several times..

Error 1 could mean a hardware failure. Try the steps below. If they do not help, you need to replace the phone.

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 device.
4. Check for outdated or modified software.
