iphone software update server could not be contacted

Hi!


I've looked through previous questions and I wasn't able to use them for the fix.


I'm trying to restore my iPhone 4 (28.3 GB) with iOs 7.1.2 and every time I go to restore iPhone on iTunes, it starts downloading or doing whatever process for a good hour or so and about halfway, this error message appears:


"The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."


I'm pretty sure it's not a firewall (but I'm not sure how to check this). I did the whole Control Panel > Lan settings. Everything is currently updated to the most it can be (given my older phone). Not sure what else to do.


Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2
