Thank you! You saved me a trip to the Apple Store. I didn’t have easy flash but smart flash option worked.

Thanks, Chetanovsky. This worked for me too!

Thank you Thank you !! This worked ! I’ve now joined this group

I have resolved the issue. It appears to be a problem with ISPs or routers preventing connections to Apple servers. While restoring from the Apple Devices app, you need to be connected to a mobile hotspot. It worked for me, and I hope it helps you as well.

Later I did also do a ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew plus a ipconfig /flushdns. Probably a two or three Windows restarts too during the whole session.

I kept getting the message "the network connection was reset", I kept insisting, closing iTunes, disconnecting the iPhone cable, turning it off, connecting it again, turning it off while connected, then setting it again in recovery mode. I wanted to try and put in it DFU mode but it seems I did not succeed even once as I never saw in iTune "phone in DFU mode" nor a permanent black screen on the device Complete Guide: How to Activate DFU Mode on iPhone for Efficient iOS Recovery.

Other variables I played with were using different USB-A and C ports, non-Apple lightning cable and original Apple lightning cable.

My internet connection was good all the time, wifi.

Eventually, after many, many attempts, one download completed correctly again and it did restore the iPhone without failing at about 50-55% bar progress like the previous times. It was finally back 'alive' again at the Hello OOBE stage and out of the recovery mode.

Loads of perserverance. I began investigating whether using ipsw files (I did not know that existed) could be applicable as fix in production but in the end it was not necessary.
