What specifically have you done? Different USB cable? Different USB port on computer?

I will just tell you to go back to the basics.

1. Locate your ipsw file(s) and move them to a different folder for now.
2. Connect your i-device to iTunes (preferably, the latest version).
3. Put your device in recovery mode and let it download and install a fresh copy of the latest iOS version.
​4. Restore as new or from a good backup when complete.
