Note: we are not responsible for any damage that occurs to your device while following these instructions.These instructions are for iPhone 4 and 4s.
If you are an iOS user and experiencing error 3194 while restoring your device firmware. And had tried the most usual methods like deleting the local host from the hosts which resides in “C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc” and the other one which includes TinyUmbrella and they are unable to resolve your problem, then you’re at the right place.
We are gonna resolve your problem by downgrading your firmware. We are gonna use a third party tool called Redsn0w for this. You can download Redsn0w form this site www.downloadredsn0w.org. You are also needed to download the IPSW of the firmware for which you will be downgrading your phone to. You can download it by choosing your device from this site http://ipswdownloader.com/. Now first of all plug your iPhone and put it in DFU mode.
Now run the exe file of the redsn0w on your win or mac sysytem and follow the steps below.
1. Click on Extras
2. Click on Even more
3. Click on Restore
4. Click on IPSW and locate the IPSW you had previously downloaded.
5. Now most probably it will pick up the blobs remotely by itself but if it doesn’t then click on local and locate the blobs which you had stored locally on your system previously. If you had not done this you can download them by using iFaith of iH8sn0w as mentioned below.
5.1 Download iFaith from iH8sn0w website iH8sn0w.com.
5.2 Run the exe downloaded. And click on ok.
5.3 click on Show Available SHSH Cashes On Server.
