i have an iphone 4 running 4.0.1 trying to restore to 4.0.1 since camera stopped working and i get an error 3194. how do i fix the issue?
 
Lack of information is very helpful. Did you edit your host file or are you using tinyumbrellia for TSS server needs?

i have it and yes i have tiny umbrella but not using the tss server im using saurik's server and yes i edited my hosts through my mac
 
What operating system are you using? I had an issue like this when I was trying to restore to 4.0.1 with SHSH blobs on Cydias server, turns out it was an issue with my version of Windows 7 (I'm running 64 bit), I tried it again but with my Windows XP laptop and all was fine, managed to restore without any issues
 
You either didn't do a good job editing your host file or your incorrect and don't have your SHSH backed up to Saurik's server.
 
@applejuiced= it doesnt let me install it at all.. the error shows up when its checking apple's servers.

@sheppy1=im running on a macbook pro 10.6.4 running itunes 10 i just tried reinstalled itunes 10.

@TMar= I do have my shsh on file since ive done this process before. i might have the hosts file different ive been looking online to have it exact. it seems like i have it right tho.

Thanks guys so far for replying.
 
Please open Terminal and type:

Code:
ping gs.apple.com

You should get your response from 74.208.10.249. If you get it from any other IP, then either your hosts file is not properly configured to use Saurik's server or you will need to clear your DNS cache.

i get it from 127.0.0.1(i believe apple right?)
what exactly should my hosts file look like?

ROFL. No 127.0.0.1 is not Apple, as much as they might like it to be. That is the address of your computer (it is also known as localhost). You are therefore pointing to yourself. With this configuration you can either - START your tinyumberella server and it will work perfectly, OR change your hosts file to point to the real Cydia IP address which is in the previous post (74.208.10.249)...

lol ok i will try tiny umbrella and btw how can i make it so it points to sauriks server?
 
You put THIS in your hosts file

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

That points the requests to the apple server to Saurik...

thats exactly what i have..

You need to be careful of the hash (pound) # character. See how there is a # before the 74?

The # in your hosts file makes it a COMMENT which the computer will ignore.
So you need to take out the bottom line which starts 127.0.0 and ALSO take out the # at the beginning of 74.208...
Then you really will be pointing to Saurik's server...

Wasn't really questioning if you knew what you were doing just that it had to be one or the other. You ruled out not having your SHSH saved so I had to be the other which it was. Glad you got it working.
