The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4014)

Hola hola!

I tried to update my iPhone 7 Plus and it didn't want to turn back on. I've tried to do different things like to press and hold both the Side (or Top) button and the Volume Down button... (didn't work)


I connected my phone to my computer, and it was in recovery mode, asked me to restore the phone... I did but didn’t work.


Then I updated my computer's software, tried again, and today I was able to see at least the Apple Logo... but then the screen is like dark blue and goes off and this is what I'm getting: The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4014)


I already change the cable to try the whole thing, but I just get the same.


I appreciate any suggestions.


iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14
