Has your phone ever been jaibroken? Also, why were you trying to restore your phone?
I am in this current scenario right now. The phone I am trying to restore had been jailbroken, I would like to restore to regular use but can't seem to break the cycle. Tell me there is a cure. ๐
There have been many reported cases of jailbroke phones that can not be returned to normal.

If it's been jailbroken you will have to restore it using DFU mode, using a computer that has never been used to jailbreak a device.
I tried this on a laptop that never had any apple products nor iTunes. I tried putting the phone in DFU mode, and it did the same thing. Now, I reboot with power/home button, leave home button pressed. The iphone, shows that logo with the plug and itunes sees it and goes into update / recover mode and goes through the steps. I have downloaded the ipsx file and pressed the shift key while clicking on restore, it goes through the steps, and it kicked over once and quit half way. I tried the regular method and it's gone through the steps, and nothing. I'm at my wits end...Any other possibilities on getting this recovered??? ๐๐๐
If I went / contacted Apple would they help??? ๐๐๐
They certainly won't help you if you downloaded the ipsx file. You should be using iTunes per the DFU directions.
I tried it just regular DFU and did the restore / restore iphone and it expanded the file and still got the 3014. Is there no salvation for this device? ๐
Did you download an ipsw file, or let iTunes choose the file itself? Since it's an iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2 is the only version you can install.
im trying to restore my iphone4 but im getting an error message that says unknown error 3014, how do i resolve this?
