My iphone 5 is stuck in restore mode. I cannot restore (Error 3194) nor can i kick it out of restore (have tried tiny umbrella, Redsn0w,Wondershare Dr Fon, reiboot, recboot.......Any advice?

IOS8, can not install, restore, or kick out of recovery HELP!

None of my devices have been jailbroken nor have I used any jailbreaking tools but I did keep getting errors on all my devices (an ipad and 3 iphones) when trying to install ios8.  Error 3194 came up for the ipad, not sure if the same error came up with the others but once I reset the host file back to the default settings everything starting working normally again when I connected to iTunes and I was able to install ios8 on all devices smoothly.  It was very frustrating and time consuming but once I found the solution, it was simple.  Fortunately, I had backed up everything before attempting the ios update so I wasn't worried about losing anything. Hope this helps anyone who comes across this and is having similar issues.

    Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
    repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)

    That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

  • My iphone 4 is stuck in restore after trying to update iOS 5. It will only send troubleshoot 3014

    I have been trying to update my iphone and its stuck on restore. The only thing it will do is send me a messege via iTunes that marks troubloshoot 3014.
    Help Please!!

    Get your money back from the seller, and if you are not immediately successful file a complaint with eBay.
    Not all jailbroken iPhones can be fixed. That's probably why it was on eBay.

  • 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.

    Hello Nigel38,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps for error 4014:
    Error 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, and 4016
    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • My iphone 3gs is stuck in recovery mode. i have tried to restore using itunes but it ends with a message saying there was an error and couldnt be restored

    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.
