Error 14 while restoring after disconnecting at restore

Hey, so yesterday I was restoring my iPhone 5S from 7.0.4 to 7.1.1 on my Windows 8 system and it got stuck at around 20-30%, I waited an hour or two and it didn't move, so I disconnected the iPhone assuming it doesn't matter if the OS will be corrupted since I want to restore, when I tried another restore it started giving me Error 14, and seems to show the error around the same percentages I disconnected it while it first restored.
I tried downloading the IPSW again from the internet about 4 times from different places too, when I try to let iTunes download it it just says the file was corrupted when the download finishes (tried 5 times) I tried turning off ALL security on my computer, I even uninstalled AVG and turned off Windows firewall, I also tried all the USB ports. when all that failed I got my old computer out of the basement and plugged in it, updated iTunes and what not then tried to restore, and it gave me the same error. This is when I started to worry this may not be something with my computer, but something with the iPhone... Did I brick my phone? What can I do??
My phone has been unusable for over 24 hours now, it just shows the connect to iTunes logo, I also tried putting it in DFU, which doesn't help.
any help would be appreciated!

You could check out this support document for help with the error 14. Resolve iOS update and restore errors This is listed under anti-virus issues or hardware. However, now that you have downloaded an iOS 8 ipsw and tried to install it, you may never recover now. Try looking up DFU restore and see if you can get the device to restore there, but it may not happen now. Your big mistake was not waiting a period of time and going for the beta software. Apple does not support downgrading, so you may have locked your phone. Sorry.

HT201263 while update & restore error 1015

Hi,
while update & restore error 1015, please help me in this issue

1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
network database was corrupted during the process.

This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

ITunes Error 11 received when doing a normal restore on iPod Touch 4G iTunes.

Hi. I'm trying to do a normal restore on my iPod Touch 4G on iTunes. I'm running on the up-to-date firmware of 6.1.6 What I am basically doing is putting my iPod in Recovery Mode, plugging it into my PC, click "Restore and Update", allow iTunes to download the firmware, and let it go. What happens is, right when it is done "preparing for restore", I receive an Error 11. Now, I looked on the internet and it says Error 11 occurs when custom IPSW firmware is involved. This is not the case for me. Maybe I'm looking at wrong sources? I just want to fix this and clean my iPod. Please help me

Restore Error (-402620393) Please Help

I just updated to the iOS 4 and it deleted all of my contacts. I keep getting an error that says "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-402620393)." So I tried importing from the SIM and that just gave me a lot of old information. It looks like the contacts I had when I bought my phone over 2 years ago.
Does this mean I have lost all of my new contacts? What am I supposed to do if it won't allow me to restore?
Thanks.

Did you officially unlock it through O2?
Sorry, you didn't bother to put in a location so I assumed you were in the States. Disregard the reference to AT&T.
The restore error 1015 is almost always seen on a hacked or jailbroken iPhone. Again, try a Google search.

Factory restore error message - "Product Restore %s failed to restore your system"

While doing a factory restore I am getting the error message - "Product Restore %s failed to restore your system".
Not sure what it means ... I am on a Lenovo 3000 N100. I've been having not so much battery won't charge as battery won't stay charged problems.
When starting up with the battery in ... the battery seems to bedrawing so much from the adapter the N100 shuts down.
While shutdown the battery seems to draw from the cmos battery.
When I power up again the cmos battery is drained ... the bios clock has to be reset.
A few times like this and I took the battery out and just ran on the adapter.
Taking the battery out didn't stop the n100 from timing out(read turning off). What did stop it
is going into the memory panel when its off and power is diconnected and shorting the Cmos battery.
Then when powered up it goes straight into loading the recovery package and actually
gets to the point where it is ready to format the disk before it gives me the message - "Product Restore % failed to restore your system".
Last night I actually got it to factory restore ... but then like a complete idiot I put the battery
back in thinking the restoration would have resolved the charging problem ... it didn't.
I know ... I know ... I'm a couple of months too late for a new battery ... but if anybodies got any ideas
how to get around this ""Product Restore %s failed to restore your system"" so I can get back
to windows I'd appreciate it.

I've had a similar problem when attempting a restore to factory settings on my Lenovo 3000 N200, running Windows XP. I resolved it by leaving the battery plugged in, but by disconnecting the AC power adapter. Then when the restore was up and running I then plugged in the adapter so the laptop wouldn't run out of power before completing the restore.
