Downgrading from OS4 to 3.1.3

[steemax]

So ive decided I'd rather have my jailbreak back on 3.1.3

I have a 3gs with new bootrom that was jailbroken on 3.1.3 with spirit and I had my SHSH saved to sauriks server and on my desktop via Umbrella.

Anyway Ive decided to go back to 3.1.3 so I went ahead and opened up the hosts file like I read in the directions, I put in the address at the bottom like it said, put the phone in recovery mode and tried to manualy restore to 3.1.3 and I keep getting the error 3194. I'm not sure what it means but im getting quite frustrated from it.

Any ideas? I went back and checked the hosts file to make sure I had put in the address correctly a bunch of times and i cant figure out whats wrong. (btw Im running itunes 9.2)

Thanks!

EDIT: can it be that my SHSH didn't get saved? Is there a way to check? or can i upload the file off my computer to sauriks server?

Thanks again!

So no one has any idea?

I have read that iTunes 9.2 can cause some downgrading issues, perhaps that is it.

there are several of us in the same position as OP. apparently cydia did not save some shsh signatures. itunes 9.2 is not the problem, if you downgrade (which is easy), you get a different error saying "this device is not compatible with the requested build."

just an update, I was successfully able to downgrade using the locally saved SHSH file and TinyTSS
