iPhone restore error 3004

What iTunes and Finder are actually telling you, and which component to look at first.

Error 3004

Software/network issue — do not blame the phone's hardware — No internet connection to gs.apple.com (ports 80/443) - network, NOT hardware

Most likely: Software or host, not the phone

Stop guessing which part failed

PhoneVitals reads the phone's own telemetry over USB and names the failing component with the evidence attached — battery gauge records, decoded kernel panics, board-level suspects. Your first device scan is free.
