Try a DFU restore. Plug in your phone. Hold the Sleep/wake button and the home button for 10 seconds. Release the sleep/wake button and continue to hold the home button until Itunes detects a phone in recovery mode. Now restore.

Hi
I've been trying to uodate my iPhone to iOS5 since last night. Initially, I kept getting the "Internal Error" messages since I'm assuming that the server was busy. A little later, that changed to the "Server is unavailable" messages. Which is when I gave up trying yesterday.
I've now resumed my efforts since today morning & I've started getting a different message: "The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I have no idea why this is happening. I've updated my iTunes & OSX Lion to the newest versions.
Any help would be appreciated.
iPhone 4 (OS 4.3.5 8L1)
OSX Lion (10.7.2)
iTunes 10.5 (141)
Thanks.
dOK so problem solved. Turns out that I had used Tiny Umbrella last night to kick the phone out of recovery mode when it got stuck during one of the attempted upgrades. And I forgot to uncheck the "set host to Cydia" option before quitting.
All done. iOS5 is here! -
I'm getting the error message, "this device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Everytime I attempt to update my Iphone 4 (purchased a used iphone 4 from a seller on craigslist) on Itunes 10, it gives me the error message that's in the title box. How do I remedy this problem? Please help.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately I'm not able to execute this as it doesn't work for me as you described.
FIRST
First of all I have a question and that is WHERE can I find/locate the so called hostfile in where the gs.apple.com lines should be in. So HOW can I find this file? After that I can open in Text edit the file, but I first need to find it ;-).
SECONDLY
By the way in the meantime I've lost all of my old data even after restoring via iTunes. It seems that iTunes makes only one back of the last version and most proberly the last back up was made of a more or less ' clean/empty' version of my iPhone after downgrading to iOS 4.1 on which I'm now using. Before my problems occured I was running my iPhone on iOS 4.3.2 but I wanted to upgrade to 4.3.3. which caused all the problems I now have. Do you perhaps know whether there is a possibility to restore the old datafile from my iPhone (before all problems occured yesterday) via Time Machine as I do keep back ups all the time. Perhaps I can restore the old data file for my iPhone via Time Machine? If so where should I look into or for?
Many thanks for helping me out.
Kind regards,

'This device isn't eligible for the requested build'/phone does not work
On Mon 9/23:
I selected "update to ios7" on my iphone 4s.
After about 10 minutes it went to a black screen with a cord, arrow and iTunes logo.
I plugged it into my computer and attempted to restore via iTunes.
I received the error message 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build'
After much researching on the internet for help, following suggested fixes, multiple restarts and attempts at restoring, I continue to receive the error message.
I decided to see if I could get another device to be recognized.
I plugged in my old iPhone 3G and it worked just fine.
I do not know what to do. Please help!Try this discussion...

Whenever I try to do a update/restore to iOS 4.3.3 I get an error saying "this device isn't eligible for the requested build." This only started happening after I installed Xcode to enable the multitasking gestures, while on 4.3.2. Thanks.
Try manually downloading the update.
Here is the update for the iPad 1;

After you have downloaded the update, attach your iPad to your computer, open iTunes and select your iPad in the devices list. Press & hold the Option/Alt key and click the Check for Update button. Browse to where you downloaded the update and Choose it. iTunes will handle the rest. -

Hello OmPRakash69,
Thank you for your question!
It sounds like you are trying to update the phone to the latest version of iOS but are getting an errorr message saying the phone is not eligible for the requested build. Try out the troubleshooting in this article named:
Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
These steps will get you started, and there are additional troubleshooting steps if needed in the article:
Important: If you see one of these messages and need help updating or restoring your iOS device, Install the latest version of iTunes and try to update or restore again. After that, follow these steps if you need more help.
Check your "hosts" file
After you've updated iTunes to the latest version, you can check the hosts file to be sure your computer can contact the update server. Use the numbered steps below if you’re on a Mac.
If you’re using a Windows computer, follow steps in this Microsoft support article, noting that resetting the hosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects. If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will still work correctly after resetting the hosts file.
In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
Open Terminal.
Enter this command and then press Return:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
Terminal will display the hosts file. Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
Press Control-O to save the file. Then, press Enter when prompted for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
Restart your computer.
Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Received an error which sent me a Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" with instructions to fix it. Opened the terminal, ran the command, and entered my password, but there was no line with gs.apple.com. I'm quite frustrated; it seems if I can resolve this I will have another 8 hours downloading iOS8! I have an iPhone5 which I supposed to be compatible with iOS8, and an running OSX Mavricks 10.9.4 and iTunes 11.4 (18)
