My iPhone 5 is stuck at the Apple logo forever. I've set it to the DFU mode to get it restored but I get an error message saying, "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

That's it. I have a brick in my hand.

p/s 24 July 2016: I finally got it fixed. I tried using my home PC to get it restored. It did not read the phone at first but when it did, the restoration was completed without any error messages.
