If those instructions don’t work, after following EVERY SUGGESTION in the link VERY CAREFULLY, then your phone is broken. Contact Apple support to discuss repair options.

no, your phone broke sometime before, but it wasn’t obvious until you tried to update it. It’s always possible that an Apple store can update it; perhaps there’s a problem with your computer that is actually preventing the restore.


What kind of computer, what OS version, and, if a PC, what iTunes version. And do you have an antivirus on your computer?
