Hi Darius

A reason for getting an “error 9” error while restoring is if the Lightning cable is not an original one from Apple. I read that you have used different cables, but if you haven't tried an original Apple cable maybe you should try that first.

Other than that I don’t really know what could be the cause, but I know about a software on PC/Mac called ReiBoot that can enter and exit recovery mode on your iPhone when you connect it to your PC/Mac.
