Are you on a Mac? If so, open up Terminal, type 'sudo nano /etc/hosts' without the apostrophes, hit enter then type your password. Once in the hosts file, scroll down to gs.apple.com 74.xxx and put a # sign in front of the gs.apple.com. Hit Control+O, press enter then hit Control+X. Try to restore the phone again.
