TS3694 Phone won't Restore (error 3194). Please HELP!!

My iPhone 4 is unlocked and was running on iOS 4.3.3. I am travelling and so delayed upgraging to iOS 5 till the release of iOS 6. Now, suddenly my phone is stuck on the Connect to iTunes Logo. Connecting to iTunes and Restoring to iOS 6 gives me ERROR 3194.
I have tried to Restore to iOS 5 as well as iOS 4.3.3. but all to no avail. iTunes checks with Apple Server and downloads the software (a slow painful process abroad!!) and then tries to instal the iOS only to come up with Error 3194.
I have tried repeatedly, with the same results.
Please HELP urgently... I am dead without the phone!!
Thanks in advance.

  • TS3694 iphone cannot be restored error 3014, please help

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    Go elsewhere. JB voids the Apple warranty and means you will get no support from Apple, including from this Apple forum.

  • IPod Won't Restore Error 3194

    The iPod won't restore an when i try to restore my iPod in comes up with the Error 3194, from what i can call the error apppears when it says verfiying with apple i have tried changing host, no luck.

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, 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. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the 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. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    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. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • Restore Error (-402620393) Please Help

    I just updated to the iOS 4 and it deleted all of my contacts. I keep getting an error that says "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-402620393)." So I tried importing from the SIM and that just gave me a lot of old information. It looks like the contacts I had when I bought my phone over 2 years ago.
    Does this mean I have lost all of my new contacts? What am I supposed to do if it won't allow me to restore?
    Thanks.

    Did you officially unlock it through O2?
    Sorry, you didn't bother to put in a location so I assumed you were in the States. Disregard the reference to AT&T.
    The restore error 1015 is almost always seen on a hacked or jailbroken iPhone. Again, try a Google search.
