My iphone 3 is stuck in recovery mode it says erroe code 3194 when I try to restore
My 1phone 3gs is stuck in reovery mode and when I try to restore it, it says cannot restore error 3194
I believe this Error is due to your computer "Hosts" file blocking Apple from verifying your firmware during the restore process. To see if this is the cause, search for and open your Hosts file on the computer. If towards the bottom of the Hosts file there are any lines with a long number and then gs.apple.com you are blocking Apple. You must delete the lines like this, both the number and gs.apple.com, but it is important to delete the number. Reopen iTunes and try to restore again.

Just downloaded the new software from itunes today for my iphone 4. While talking on the phone while plugged into macbook (charging) my call was dropped and then my phone turned off. Itunes now says it found my phone and it was in recovery mode and I need to restore it. When I try to do that I get an error code of (2001) and I am unable to go any further. any help from anyone please? Thanks. Ben
Thats okay
Are you using a Mac or PC? The step about ports, it not really relative to your issue (error 2001)
Apple wrote (in TS1275)
(2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on) If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. Learn how to reset the SMC. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related to conflicting security software.
So I would try an SMC reset if you are on a Mac. But mainly, try a different USB cable if you have one. -

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.
Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data. -

Hello Andyoneill9,
It sounds like you are trying to restore your phone but keep getting an errror message 3194. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
Resolution
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.
This is the first troublehsooting step to try, so there are additional things to try if needed you need them.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Iphone 4s is stuck in recovery mode
My iphone 4s is stuck in recovery mode, I've already upgraded to 6.0 software
Same here. As i started upgradation from the iphone through wifi it showed the itunes icon with the usb . As i connected to itunes, it said the phone is in recovery mode and needs to restore. I let it restore and it prompted to update to the latest software. It took a couple of hours to download ios6 through itunes but at the end it showed error 1403. And the phone remains on that same window with the usb/itunes icon on display. I'm at a fix. What should i do?? Please Help!!!!

I have an iphone 4s that used to be jailbroken but I want to restore it (cause I want to update ios). It was stuck on a recovery loop but it died eventually. I plugged it up and waited 30 minutes but when I came back it was still black and wont turn on. I plugged it to my computer and it told me it is stuck in recovery mode and the only way to fix it is to restore it. So when it was only aproximently 95% done it said that the disk had a problem. When I try to restore it again it says the same message. What do I do!!!?
What disk had a problem, and what was the exact verbiage of the error? For a phone that has been jailbroken, it is very difficult to remove the jailbreak, so it may not work. Also, the discussion of jailbroken devices is not allowed here on the forum. You'll need the exact error to get help.

hi desperately need help. my iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode... when i try and do the restore via itunes it goes through the motions but when it gets to the end it tells me there was an error and it couldnt be restored... originally it was an ex contract phone that i had opened to orange from vodafone.. it was fine until i tried to do the ios 6 update
There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.
