I'm having a simular problem and keep getting; The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6). I've followed all the steps and it still happens. I feel like I'm going around in circles follow the info given, restart, restore, wait and then.. The same message. I'm thinking get some sleep, take laptop and phone into Apple and beg for someone to figure it out for me - what's the feed back there?
i m also stuck in recoery mode, i get an error (21) i have tried everything, i have researched for the past 2 days now and still get the same error. waiting for help here.
Check your Hosts file if it was modified to jailbreak any iPhone earlier.
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
@ RajaRani,
thanks for the information. but i m still in recovery.
i have checked the host files, and reset the back to default.
i also opened the itunes advanced tiunes store troubleshooting and the troubleshooting security software issues.
i still get an error 21.
i dont know what is wrong with this phone.

Try on another known good computer. Error 21 could be indication of Hardware failure.
