Not able to restore ipad .. error 14

I gave my ipad ( WIFI + 4G LTE , A1475 ) for a couple of days to my cousin as he had asked for it . When he returned it to me , I got to know that my ipad had been jailbroken . Since I did not want to risk my ipad , I connected it to Itunes and choose to restore from a backup . When I restored , I was still able to find cydia in it . I then opened settings and choose " Erase all settings " ( that restoring to factory settings ) . The problem then started .My ipad was continuously stuck at the apple logo with a progress bar having no progress . So , I put it in DFU mode and connected it to Itunes and it says , " The software on "Ipad" needs to be restored to factory settings or updated." I tried both the option several times on 2 pc, but it ends up saying " The software for the ipad "ipad" was corrupted during download. Please disconnect your device and try again." . I also manually downloaded the firmware and did **** + restore and proceeded . This time it went till half the way of restoring ipad and have the error " The ipad "ipad" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (14)."
Have tried multiple computers, usb ports, and have the latest version of itunes installed.I also searched online and tried that hosts , tinyumberlla , deleting previous ipad software downloads . But no use .
So , please help me bring my ipad back to normal conditions . I am feeling very bad for my ipad but still have a ray of hope left . awaiting for help .

I think it is the hardware issue. You can check the details for the error: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

HT1222 error 14 restore ipad 2 GSM iOS 5.1.1

error 14 restore ipad 2 GSM iOS 5.1.1

I spoke to Apple Tech Support. They were very helpfull and resolved the problem. First I was told to put into airplane mode for 15 seconds then go back to problem. That didnt help but apparently this solves lots of network type faults. Next I was told to reset the network that also didn't work. Finally then i was told to Hold both buttons until the screen goes black, when the Apple symbol returns release buttons. When the pad rebooted this cured the problem and i was able to tether again.
It seems you try this first on any faults it will often resolve problems. I've added this in hope that it will help others with any type of fault.
Can I thank you for all your help. Kind Regards Keith

An unknown error occurred (-1) while trying to restore Ipad 3 new

Happy iPad users, I may need some help from you please.
I’ve got a problem with my iPad new 32 GB WiFi + 4G LTE.
I bought it just recently in China and was using it for nearly one month without any issues.
Then at some point i started getting synchronization problems with iTunes and applications that I have downloaded did not run properly or simply won’t start on my iPad. Then I’ve lost cellular signal.
Trying to resolve the issues I had to reset iPad to factory settings and after that I could not register it with apple. I tried many times with no success.
Then I went through some internet articles and decided to restore my iPad and finally I’ve got my almost new iPad stuck is restore mode!!!
I cannot get it out of restore mode and I cannot get it restored.
When I try to restore it I get the following message:the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)the ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
The ipad "ipad" cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)
Here are the things I’ve done so far trying to restore it
Tried to restore in on Windows XP – no luck, same message
Tried to restore it on Windows 7 – no luck, same message
Tried to restore it on MacBook – NO LUCK, SAME MESSAGE
Tried to use recovery fix option on redsn0w. Did not help. I tried different versions of this program with no success. Maximum what I had is my iPad was entering “white apple mode” after clicking fix restore button.
Tried to restore iPad from DFU mode both on Windows XP and Windows 7, no luck, same message (error -1)
I suspect that my iPad may have a hardware issue however I still hope it can be fixed with your help.
We don’t have an official apple support centers where I leave and I would like to try all the options before I send it to abroad apple support center or to a shop where I bought it.
Please can anybody help me with advice on how to fix my iPad?
Thank you all in advance.

I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

Unknown Error Message (9) When trying to restore Ipad 1

Hi, recently i purchased an iPad 1, and am having problems when trying to restore the device. I put it into restore mode as it was going to sync every app on itunes which i didn't want, so i had to try and set it up as a new ipad again. Now the ipad is in restore mode, when plugged in to my laptop, iTunes does not recognise the iPad until i put it into DFU mode, by holding down the home button and Power button simultaneously, then releasing the power button until the 'connect to itunes' symbols appears. iTunes then recognises the iPad in restore mode and asks me to restore it. When i click to restore, it always stalls just after the 'waiting for iPad' message appears on iTunes, then the error 'Could not restore Ipad, an unknown error occurred (9)' appears.
I have tried downgrading my firmware and restoring my iPad to v3.2 but then the error 3194 appears. Also by trying to restore the firmware to the newest version using a downloaded firmware also returns this message. After some research on the matter, i read a few people claiming the problem is the USB ports. I have since tried restoring on another laptop and a PC, but still the error 9 message occurres, therefore suggesting it isn't a problem with the USB. My understanding it that it is either a problem with the iPad, or with the Firmware i have downloaded, and iTunes does not recognise this. As further information, the iPad is a first generation ipad which had the latest firmware updated on (v 5.2). It seems to be whenever i try to restore to a firmware i downloaded seperately, i get the error message 3194, and when i just click the restore button, and automatically updating to v5.2 i receive the error 9 message
Any suggestions as to how i can fix this problem?
Thanks

i pulled this from another post on these forums.
thy this:
"First try to turn off your iPhone, with the sync cable not plugged in.
Then hold down the home button (iPhone still off) and plug in the sync cable. (Keep holding the home button until iTunes pops up).
You have now entered force recovery mode.
Now try to update the iPhone, using iTunes, as instructed.
That should work. "

Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

HT1414 Is it possible to restore ipad or unlock an ipad without loosing purchases?

Is it possible to restore ipad or unlock an ipad without loosing purchases? I do not own the ipad, it has not been synced to my itunes.

It is always a good idea to sync your iPad periodically and keep a backup of all documents you've created. Syncing also creates a backup of all your purchased apps. It is quick and easy to get the apps back from iTunes on the computer you sync with. But even if that doesn't work you can always download previously purchased app again without paying for them.

ITunes when restoring ipad returns an error 40.

iTunes when restoring ipad returns an error 40. I'm not the only one facing the same problem. On this site you can find many examples. Device operated properly small period of time. The reason for the error flash nand. I think devices should be replaced

Sadly this is "normaly" a Nand chip or controller failure - I hope you are still in warranty
But try iRecovery first - hope It helps

You can't restore to iOS 7.0.4 since it is no longer signed. You can only restore to iOS 7.1.1 which is the current iOS level.
