issue with restoring my iphone

[Chaka1988]

Hey guys

When I try to restore my iphone (Firmware 4.0) to 4.0.1 I get error 3194. What can I do in this case to overcome it?

Apple more than likely isn't signing 4.0.1 anymore so you can't restore. I believe you can if you have your blobs or whatever signed but I'm not familiar with that.

What iPhone do you have?

If 3GS or IP4, do you have 4.0 SHSH files save? If no, you can't restore to anything other than 4.1.

If yes: Download and Run Tinyumbrella:
1) Make sure you Iphone is detected.
2) check "Advanced Options."
3) In new window, under "Device / Version," select the firmware version you want to restore to.
4) Click on "Save my SHSH." Pray Cydia has them. If you don't get an error, it has been saved onto your computer.
5) Repeat to save other firmware hashes if you wish.
6) Now, click on "Display SHSHs." It should listed all hashes you have saved on your computer and the firmware you can restore with. If it's not there, you can't restore to it.
7) Start "TSS server," download official firmware file somewhere (google) and restore through iTunes with that file.
8) If you phone gets stuck during the restore process, try "Kick out of recovery..."'in Tinyumbrella.
9) Using safari on the phone, go to jailbreakme.com to JB.

You got to edit your host file Manually:

Credit for step by step by: kre62 and Sidewinder

1. Make sure your device has an iOS 4.0 or 4.0.1 SHSH saved on the Cydia server. You can do this by opening Cydia and looking at the top of the home screen just below where it says "Home - Cydia". If yes, then proceed to the next step.

2. Download the firmware for your device to your computer from here (or some other source):

http://ios.e-lite.org/

For example, if you have an iPhone 4 and an SHSH for iOS 4.0.1, click on the text "historical (click to expand)" at the bottom of the page and download the iPhone 4 "4.0.1 (8A306)" firmware.

3. Manually edit your hosts file to include this line:

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

Windows: Open Notepad as an administrator. The hosts file is in windows\system32\drivers\etc\ The file does not have an extension, so change option to All Files to find it.

OS X: go here - http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7556

4. Open iTunes, select your iPhone in the device list, then hold shift (option for Mac) and click restore. Locate and "Choose" the firmware you download in step 2 and click on "Restore".

He hasn’t mentioned if he even has his blobs saved. If not, he’s going to 4.1.

 

[Chaka1988]

when I try to save the hosts file in mac, it says
The document “hosts” could not be saved. You don’t have permission...

what can i do now?

 

[Chaka1988]

Ok when I go to tiny umbrella and choose the firmware version under- request version. What do I do next?

Which iPhone do you have?

and do you know if your blobs were saved?

Iphone 3GS 32gb, dunno if the blobs were saved.
When I go to tiny umbrella, it doesnt give me the option to click on "save my SHSH". WHY IS THAT?
