Q: Iphone 4s wont restore or update

Hello Apple people. My iphone 4s is old, but i just tried to get the new update 9.3.2 and when it did that it put me in recovery mode? This is my first iphone, but i hooked it up to itunes, it recognizes it, but i will get it to start updating and then it will go to 75% and say a unknown problem has occured (29). Same thing with restoring. Please help. I put it in DFR or whatever its called but no luck. I have no idea.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6s after 9.3.2 update. I'm stuck at "connect to iTunes" screen logo, unable to restore/update it via iTunes because of error 4013. Tried different usb ports, cables, MacBooks, Windows 10 - nothing. Phone turned into a brick after single minor update. And now i have to wait and hope they release some kind of a fix for majority of bricked iPads Pro 9.7 which will also restore my iPhone.
