ITunes error 3194

How do I fix this 3194 error?
I had an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 (kept by choice), I upgraded to the iPhone 5 and kept the 4 as a backup without updating the firmware.  My friend was in need of a phone and knew I had an iPhone 4 sitting around.  I lent him it for about a month, gave it back jailbroken.  I do not like this, tried restoring it back to factory iOS 4.2.1 with no luck due to this 3194 error.  When trying to turn on the device, its stuck in a boot loop where it will show the apple logo for a few minutes and then it will fade out and come right back.  This is not under any warranty either.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

You can try to update your itunes version, as it says on apple wesite but in my case it didnt work

  • Keep getting itunes errors 3194, 1015... iPhone 3GS

    I Keep trying to update my iPhone 3GS to IOS 4.3.5 and everytime i get itunes errors 3194, 1015... i have never jailbroken before

    ok i did some research and worked out how to get rid of error 3194.
    1) go to my computer
    2)click on local disk
    3) click the windows file
    4)look for the file System32 click on it
    5)look fop the file drivers and click on that
    6)then the file etc
    7)there wil now be a file named host click on it, it will give you a few options open the file in wordpad or notepad, when you open the file it at the botoom it wil have a line which says something like this
    # 98.343.34.344 gs.apple.com
    delete the
    98.343.34.344 gs.apple.com
    but leave the hash
    now dont close the host file and open itunes and reconnect the usp device and hopefully you will be able to restore you iphone once the restore is done you can close the host file.

  • ITunes Error 3194 for my iPod Touch?

    So I repeatedly tried to update my 4th Gen iPod to iOS 5 to no avail so I started searching ways to do it because every time I tried to update I would get iTunes Error 3194 "iPod could not be restored". I put my device into DFU mode like the guide suggested and then tried to hit restore on iTunes to automatically update it, however, it keeps giving me the same error! Now my iPod won't do anything and I have no idea how do fix it. I do have the latest verison of iTunes Advice? Thanks

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

    Please hel have upgraded my phone butnow phone is asking to connect to itunes. when I try to start the restore, error comes up "3194 error"

    You have posted from a Support Article about Error Code 3194...
    If that Article did not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
