Hello VloggerSid,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with a recovery mode restore completing. We're happy to help.

We recommend completing the steps here: If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone to ensure your associated Mac or PC is fully updates, and there's no security software blocking the restore.

Next, try entering recovery mode and forcing the restore once again. If needed, the steps here can assist: If you can't update or restore your iPhone

Cheers!
