Cannot restore iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, error 2001 and 2006

My iPhone 5 (AT&T, purchased on March 2013) suddenly went blank - without being dropped down, or *drowned* in water/ liquid - then a blinking (Apple) logo ...
Following Internet forums, I kept the "Home" button pressed a while, the sign of an USB cable attemting to connect to iTunes appeared.
iTunes asked me to restore, I agreed, it downloaded the "iPhone5,1_6.1.4_10B350_Restore.ipsw", then extracted, then verifying with Apple for a while, then appeared the message that this iPhone cannot be restored, error 2001.
I retried, same result, sometime the error is 2006.
I retried with another MacBook Pro, then iMac, same error 2006 or 2001 !
Strange thing : when trying in iTunes in Windows 8 (via BootCamp on those same iMacs, MacBook Pro), the error changed to error 21 !!!
I'd tried in several other ways :
01. DFU (pressing both "Home" and "Power" buttons ... ...),
02. turn off Intego/ Sophos/ ClamXav,
03. delete that .ipsw file to download a new one,
04. remove the iPhoneUpdater.log files, pretending to cheat the system
05. confirm via System Information that I am plugging the iPhone only to one of the USB Hi-Speed Buses (thinking error 2001 & 2006 relates to USB ports)
... the *iFool* beauty keeps sleeping like ... a brick !
Any help would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
BAKZOO.

Hey guys, i have the same issue.
Yesterday my iphone lost network, i turned it off, and wanted to turn on, but iphone didn't react.
Once i plugged charging cable in, apple logo appeared, then screen went black, then apple logo appeared once again. So it seems like iphone goes into reboot after apple logo appears.
I connected iphone to macbook pro while holding home button, itunes showed me iphone 5 in recovery mode, then iOS was downloaded, but recovery didn't even started. Every time it shows me 2001 error. Sometimes recovery fails with 2006 error. I tried to change USB port, tried another original USB cable, tried another macbook pro, both are updated to OS X 10.8.4, iTunes 11.0.4(4), but the same 2001 error comes up over and over again.
I did everything that official support advises on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=ru_RU&locale=ru_RU#error2001, but nothing really helps
Any ideas on what might help? There's no Apple stores here in Uktraine so i can not return my iphone and get a new one

thanks in advance
to note im running the most current version of itunes,up to date ios 6 and mac running mountin lion

If you tried this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error2001
Then perhaps the phone needs servicing as stated in the article...

When trying to restore my iPhone 4 on iTunes, an error (2001 and 2006) pops up and prevents me from restoring my phone. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have updated my itunes and computer software, as well as held down both the lock and home buttons on my iphone. I have contacted my carrier tech support and apple tech support but nothing has worked thus far.

Also look here.

Cannot hide purchases on iOS 8.2 via iPad 4 and iPhone 4S

Hello!
Cannot hide purchases on iOS 8.2 via iPad 4 and iPhone 4S
When I try to slide to left and press hide purchase it disappears but after reopen AppStore - it still remains
How it can be fixed?
Thanks!

Try hiding them via your computer's iTunes : click on your name towards the top right of your iTunes and then click Purchased on the popup
Or click on the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
Select the Apps section and hover your mouse pointer over the top left-of the app that you want to hide and click and it should disappear from that screen and from Purchased on your iPad and iPhone. (An 'x' should show on the top left corner when you hover your mouse pointer over the app, but on my Mac's iTunes, which is up-to-date, the 'x' doesn't show in the Apps section, but does show for music, films, TV programmes ; it still appears to be there as clicking the top left hides the app, it's just that the 'x' is invisible.)

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

Hi, to get your iPhone 4 back to normal, here're two ways for you.
1. Use Dr.Fone for iOS. The free trial version can fix iPhone screen of death. The free trial version can do that, you don't have to pay.
Just download and install this software on your computer and connect your iPhone 4 to computer with a USB cable. When it detects your iPhone 4 is abnormal, click Restart the device to get your iPhone 4 to be normal.
2. Use iTunes to fix it.
Step 1. Make sure that the latest iTunes is installed on your computer.
Step 2. Plug into a USB cable to connect your iPhone4 to computer.
Step 3. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time for about 10s.
Step 4. 10 seconds later, release the sleep/wake button. But continue to hold the home button until a message comes out, saying "iTunes has discovered an iPhone 4 in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
Step 5. Click your iPhone 4 in the left sidebar to show the device control panel on the right. Then, click Summary.
Step 6. Go to Backups section and click Restore Backup.... In the drop-down list, choose a backup file and restore to your iPhone 4

HT201210 My iPhone became wet at the beach. I put it in rice for 4 days. When I connect to itunes, it says the phone must be restored. It starts and then gives either the error 2001, or 2006. What exactly does this mean, and is it worth getting repair

Water damage isn't covered by warranty, but you could always purchase a refurbished device from Apple.

I cannot install iTunes. I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue. I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success. Spent all day on this issue. I am running windows 7.

Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.
