Getting "an unknown error occurred 3194" error

I am trying to restore my iPhone 3gs with iOS 3.0.1! I want to restore with this version of iOS only. I am also getting the same error code "an unknown error occurred 3194". Tried using tinyumberilla, tried it by doing force shutdown, recoverymode restore and all the ways mentioned in discussions forum. But no luck
Please some body help! Thanks in advance...

iTunes error 3194 can be caused by a variety of issues. The most common solution is updating iTunes. However, if you are currently running the latest version of iTunes, you can try the other solutions posted here. Hope this helps!

    It means that Apple has stopped signing the version of iOS that you have, try downloading the latest iOS version, then try Restore again.

    There is no supported method to downgrade iOS.
    Put the device in DFU mode and restore.  Be aware, ALL iPhones require a valid SIM for activation.  The SIM does not need to be for an active account, but it must be a SIM from the carrier the device is locked to.

    I'm trying to restore an iphone 3GS before selling it. I've already erased everything by going into settings and clicking on erase and restore. The phone says to connect to iTunes and iTunes says "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (3194)." It is not jailbroken and all of the apps were deleted when I erased the phone. How can I get the phone ready for sale? Appreciate any advice you can give to this iPhone newb, please and thanks!
    Things I've done:
    - updated itunes software
    - force restart on iphone by holding the home and the power buttons
    - ran windows troubleshooter- no problems detected.

  • TS3694 message that "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)." How can I fix it?

    message that "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)."
    How can I fix it?

    Usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original
    carrier .
    Updating the operating system locks it back to that original carrier
    You could try this

    However if the iPhone was hacked it is probably a paper weight  now
    and as this is an Apple hosted forum  you can get no further help here

  • IPhone could not be restored. An Unknown error occurred (3194).

    My battery is sort of messed up, the phone dies at any time it wants. I asked at the apple store and they told me to restore the phone and check for improvements. I've backed it up but when restoring the phone, before it restarts the message "iPhone could not be restored. An Unknown error occurred (3194)." appears. how do i fix that?

    Thank you for the question.  Here are the troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through when receiving error 3194 on a restore.

    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
