sacha1969, you should be able to do a hard reset (up vol, down vol, then hold power button).

the cable may not be the issue.

on your PC that the phone is plugged into, try a different wifi source.

from what i've personally experienced, and seen others try, there may be a security feature on the wifi.

if you have a hotspot, or another phone with personal hotspot may work.

So do I need a USB-A cable to restore my iPhone no matter what, or can I use my USBC cable?

If you already have a USB-C to Lightning cable, you don't necessarily require a USB Type-A cable to restore an iPhone or iPad.

However, if your computer doesn't have a USB-C connection - or if you encounter difficulties with the restore process when using a USB-C cable - a Type-A to Lightning cable can sometimes resolve a connection problem.

USB Type-A to Lightning cables are available for purchase from many reputable manufacturers. Here is one from Mophie, directly marketed by Apple:

I have got this error when trying to restore an IPhone. The screen is now sitting with the apple sign and half the update line. Does anyone know how to get out of this to try the process again with a different cable?

I usually don’t reply to these things but if this helps anyone:

my husbands iPhone 14 kept getting stuck in a boot loop and I couldn’t restore it through my PC

i used the advice here to restore it

using the hotspot with my phone AFTER disconnecting it from my home internet

Thanks a million. It worked.

I am just curious to know how. Could it be a hardware limitation in transmitting large files with USB-C or was it a software bug which was not caught while the cables evolved.

I have the same error code while trying to recover a homepod mini on my windows pc.

The homepod comes with a USB-C cable though. Should I buy an adapter from USB-C to USB-A?

I'm having the same error using USB-A. This bug happens to me this night, it's absurd

Same here with Ipad (Version 8) Windows 11. I used all the tricks, HotSpot on my mobile etc. But nothing doesn´t help at this moment

What is this "genius bar"?

Thanks for the tip ! it worked on my Iphone hotspot. It is definetly dependant on net parameter on which you are connected.
