Hope this Helps!

This also may help 😀

Thats okay 😀

Are you using a Mac or PC? The step about ports, it not really relative to your issue (error 2001)

Apple wrote (in TS1275)

(2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on) If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. Learn how to reset the SMC. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related to conflicting security software.

So I would try an SMC reset if you are on a Mac. But mainly, try a different USB cable if you have one. 🙂

So you've tried a different USB cable?

Ok - sounds good. Are you taking it to an Apple Retail Store? They will replace it on the spot for you 😀

Hope it all works out

See ya

If youre stuck in recovery mode try to use TinyUmbrella to exit of recovery mode that might help you =)
