Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
Is it because i have an iphone 4

That error code is normally for phones that have been jailbroken or you are trying to install an iOS that you downloaded from somewhere on the internet besides Apple.

  • This iPod, iPhone, or iPad could not be restored. this device isn't eligible for the requested build.

    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help/ipad-iphone-isnt-eligible-for-the-requested-build/
    This fixed my problem. For the last year I could not update after iOS 4 was released, restore or restore from a back up on my iMac model from mid 2007 with intel. The only way around this problem was to use my old HP laptop to use my Apple products. After several phone calls to Apple support, nobody at Apple could figure this out. I was told I would have to pay Apple for the support because my iMac was not under warranty. I have searched the web on and off to try several different solutions and all except this one have failed. If others have found this, I must have missed it in the forums. I am only posting this to help anyone that has had this issue.

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. Also if you have iOS 5 beta then I assume that you are a registered developer, in which case you should be posting in the confidential developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

  • Iphone stuck in recovery mode and can't recover because "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

    I have an iPhone 4S and it has been stuck in recovery mode for whatever reason. I have tried using data recovery software that can turn my phone to normal mode but when it tries all my phone does in turn off and then on again, back into recovery mode. I can't use iTunes to recover my phone because it won't let me do it without updating and recovering the iPhone. When I do this it gives me the error "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Is there any other way I can restore my phone from backup without getting this error?

    You can also take a look at this information from this support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized 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.

    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)
