Today I purchased an iphone of craigslist that was jailbroken. I successfully activated it and am now trying to restore it back to the regular OFW. I first try to reset throguh the iphone. However the circle kept spinning for like an hour. I decided to power it off and try again. Surprisingly all of the person's stuff was still there. I tryired to reset through the iphone again. This time I was more impatient and quite after liek 2 min. I went into DFW mode and im trying to restore through itunes. However, I keep getting this error- 3014. Now I can't even exit dfu mode. any tips?
Got a tip for us?

got it to work thanks! I pretty much gave up using my desktop. I went ahead and tried on my laptop and it worked first try! Maybe because my desktop is running windows 8 and my laptop is running windows 7? Who knows! Just glad my iphone is not in a dead state.
