Just updated my iphone 3gs but got error 3194?
hi
i have just gone to update my iphone 3gs and got error code 3194 and now it seems as if it stuck in recovery mode
The ONLY reason that gs.apple.com would be in your hosts file is if the computer was ever used to hack, jailbreak or otherwise mod ANY iPhone (not just the one you are having a problem with now).
The specific description of this error is:
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue.
You can also get this error if you have ever installed a version of iOS that was obtained other than through iTunes.

I just updated my iphone 3gs, but it cannot activated because of activation server
please help me on this matter
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!
If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios. -
hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive pressed ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help! i need my phone for work not had it too long and really annoyed lol thanks,
Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:

I just updated my Iphone 3GS from 4.3.3 to 6.1. Now is says that my SIM Card is not supported by my carrier. I called Rogers and he says to restore my phone. But I can't get there is it won't recognize my phone. Help!
Insert a SIM from a supported carrier.
Where did the phone come from, it sounds like the device has been hacked or jailbroken to be unlocked and updating has re locked to the original carrier. It is also possible that the SIM simply needs to be reseated or replaced. -

I just updated my iphone 3GS on itunes. It deleted my ipod on the phone as well as in itunes. My music is still in the library, but no ipod under devices. Does anyone know what happened and how to get either or both back?
Did you fail to import your photos before updating? If so, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. If that fails then they are gone. You should regularly import photos to your computer, most especially before any update.
Did you fail to transfer any purchases on iphone ( that were not on your computer) to your computer before updating? If so, then you will have to redownload:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I have just updated my iphone 3gs to the latest software however it wont activate the phone now. What can I do? Need a reply ASAP. Thanks
If you are experiencing Activation Problems because your Device has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
Then... Sorry... But...

hi all, i just updated my iphone 3gs with 5.0 ios version and now i cannot configure the iphone with it because itunes is not recognizing my iphone
Contacts are NOT part of the iTunes backup. If you had read the User Guide when you got your phone, you would have learned that Apple recommends you synch your contacts for safekeeping to your computer (Outlook, Address Book) or a cloud service. Using the phone as your only source of your contacts is foolish as the phone can easily be lost, damaged, stolen, or the data become corrupt.
If you've been using your phone as strongly recommended, your contacts are safe and sound on your computer or cloud service ready to be synched back to your phone. Of course, you should be backing up your computer regularly as well.
If you haven't been doing this, your contacts are likely gone. -
I started updating my iPhone 3gs but now it is locked and sim is not being recognized by the set
Sounds like you had the phone hacked to work on a network other than what the phone was originally locked to. When you updated the software on the phone it reverted back to the lock which makes your sim unusable.

Hello, i really need help. I had just updated my iphone 3gs to i.o.s. 6.0.1, and after I updated, it won't activate.I tried it in itunes and it always says " We cannot activate your iphone at this time..." and when I activate using Wi-Fi, it says, "Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable." I could swear that my Wi-Fi is fine, and my Itunes is on the latest version. Is this a bad thing or does this normally occurs? Can I still fix this ? I'm so desperate to use my iphone cause I use it everyday for personal purposes. I sure would appreciate any tip or help . PLSSSS ! Thank you for that wonderful being that can help.
Do not take it to a third party repair shop - downgrading causes problems and voids your warranty.
I had to unlock it so that i could really use it as a phone.
And that is the root of the problem. Unless you had your carrier unlock it, it was hacked and cannot be legitimately activated. Even if you don't care about warranty or problems, downgrading simply will not help an activation issue. -
i have just updated my iphone 3gs to iOS 5 (final version) and couldnt seen to activate the phone...any help
To expand on Rudegar's comment, often, updating a jailbroken or hacked phone will permanently brick the phone.
If your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it, it is now most likely completely useless. -
i was updating my iphone 4s but an error occured while updating it. my computer is not recognizing the phone and i cant restore it.
See this support document for help. You may have to do this more than once. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

That's almost always because the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
