Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues updating/restoring your iPhone 6 and are receiving error 3004. It looks like you are on the right track to resolving your issue, as I see you have posted from the most relevant resource:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

Have you attempted the hosts file troubleshooting, along with network and security software troubleshooting? If not, definitely give those a go. The article provides some great information and should guide you through the process. Additionally, errors in the 3000 range can sometimes be resolved by restoring the device with another computer:
Restore or update on another computer
Try to restore or update on another computer with a different Internet connection. This will help rule out other issues on your computer that might stop iTunes from communicating with the update server.
Errors 1639, 3000-3020, and 3100-3999 (with the exception of 3194) are sometimes caused by your network settings. If your computer uses a managed network, refer to your network administrator. Proxies, firewalls, and other network security measures can cause these errors. If necessary, find a different network connection to restore the device. For example, if you're restoring at work, try to restore at home or on a friend's computer and network.
Thanks,
Matt M.
