Hi All,

I am facing a problem which i am unable to solve even after spending hrs. neither i can find the solution anywhere on the internet.

The problem is described below:

1) I have a iphone 3GS with New Boot ROM
2) I had jailbroken it on version 4.0.1 through jailbreakme.com and had cydia installed
3) I was browsing system folders through iFile application from cydia and out of curiousity I deleted many folders including system, app etc and suddenly the iphone went blank
4) I dont have backup of my SHSH
5) Now when i try to restore IPSW file (3.1.3, 4.0.1, 4.1) through itunes 9.2/10.1 I get 3014/3194 error
6) I tried Redsn0w 0.9.6 b6, iREB, Sn0wbreeze 2.1 etc but none seems to work

Please if anyone can kindly suggest me how to solve this issue I would be grateful to him …….as of now my iPhone is like a brick

  You and I have the same problem, and i have been trying for weeks to fix it. Itunes upgrade my 3GS to 4.2.1 and now i have been trying to downgrade but no luck but i think you can upgrade your firmware to at ipad 06.14.09 baseband to which will void your warranty. Google how to upgrade your baseband which i don’t want to do i will have to wait for the new jailbreak this month.

I am having the same error. I tried to downgrade to 3.1.3 from 4.0.2 and kept getting random errors. Somehow when I performed a sync it actually put 3.1.3 on the phone but now if I try to restore/backup from files or the internet I get this 3194 error. Unfortunately my iphone is one of the ones stricken with the wifi getting f#*ked from updating to OS 4. I have asked a few questions on Apples site and they keep removing my posts stating that my comments are negative. Go figure

I tried this with Vista, and then tried with WinXP. It did not work in Vista. I kept on getting that stupid error 3194. It worked like a charm in XP. Another reason why we should not use Vista, and one more reason I will stay on XP. Anyway, give that a try, if you haven’t already done so.

  I’ve had the same 3194 problem until I added:
  
  74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
  
  My problem was that I was adding the above over the original #127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com. I completely forgot that the hash “#” commented out the line. Removing the hash “#” worked for me.

    open hosts file and add following two lines at the end
    
    127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

      I tried this too and I have confirmed and pint of gs.apple.com on my workstation is resolving toe 127.0.0.1 as your two lines above would do. I am still having the same issue. I was able to get 3.0 on my ipod touch 2g, but the 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 give me the same error. Any other thoughts would be welcomed.
