Walkthrough: Fix error 3194 when restoring.

Screenshot 2011 07 07 at 07 47 52

Many of you have problems updating your devices to jailbreak them with the new jailbreakme 3.0 tool.

Most of you have a very simple problem: error 3194. We have already said many times that this error is due to Hosts file has been modified, either manually or automatically with the use of TinyUmbrella. To solve it, you have to leave the Hosts file pointing back to Apple's servers, or the update will not be able to be verified and it will give this failure.

To do this, open TinyUmbrella (if you don't have it, download it here), go to the «ADVANCED"And make sure the" Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit "option is not checked.

Go to the bottom of the screen and press «Apply Changes«.

Close TinyUmbrella and go back to iTunes, this time it will let you update normally.

[edited by Ngarcia2.0: In some cases it is possible that you do not know if you have an iPhone 3G or 3G [s]. In this case you have to be very clear about what it is since error 3194 also occurs when installing the wrong firmware. To differentiate them, remember that the 3G [s] has the silver letters, in the word iPhone on the back, the same color as the apple, while the 3G model has the letters in gray.]

    The one that always appears to me is 1013 and they say that it is solved with the same method but it does not work for me, to solve it I had to use MAC OSX 1. Open Terminal Type
    sudo nano / etc / hosts I put the managed key. Using the keyboard arrows, we go down to the line where it says gs.apple.com and we place the cursor right in the first position. There, type #then Press Ctrl + O (not a zero, but an O) and Nano will ask us if we want to save / etc / hosts - we press enter and return to the editor. We then press Ctrl + X to exit it. We close Terminal, go to iTunes and click on the restore button again. Now, it should no longer give error 1013 and the iPhone should be restored (although empty)

      For dreyes or whatever is happening x this problem, friend, this error is solved very easily, first we go to the tinyumbrella and deactivate the 2 and 3 option, we give it aply changes and close, then we lower the fixyrecobrery 422 or 433 depends on the ios version then the He does his thing is very easy… and we already got rid of the 1013 error, x on the other hand I am stuck in the 3194 error even if I modify the host or do this tutorial it keeps appearing if someone knows something please let me know thanks ………

    Hey Gonzalo, yesterday I read that from firm 4.3 Apple no longer only controls the signature when Donwgrade, but also looks at the basehand. That is, if for example it comes out, it will come out, the firm 4.3.4 to cover the jail and I update my iPhone accidentally, therefore updating the basehand ... I could no longer go back to 4.3.3 (of course having the SHSH saved ), unless you use a custom firm?
    .
    It is that man I read it yesterday, and if it is true I had not found out about something so extremely important.
    .
    Actually the information is for the iPAD2 with 3G (apparently with the one that only has Wifi as it does not have a basehand it is not a problem), and it was said that since the iPAD 2 still does not have any custom signature, it could not return to 4.3.3. XNUMX by no means. I asked the informant about the iPhone and he told me that it was the same but that like this one if it has custom firm's, in the end if it could be returned.
    .
    In short ... To downgrade an iPhone from 4.3.4. to 4.3.3 is it necessary to use a custom firm for eggs? And I already extend the question to the iPAD 2 3G (although it does not have it), for sure that more users are interested.

    I understand your? Xq I have stayed the same when I read it. The link you give me, which I already read at the time, is not the same as what I have read, since the link refers to iOS 5 and the ECID that is generated in a unique way, not the basehand that is a what refers to what I have read. Also as I write in the previous post, it says that this is from firm 4.3.
    .
    The person who wrote that information is simply misinformed, right?

  4.   gnzl said

    No no, I did know that, but I can't find the post where it puts it, it doesn't matter anyway, tinyumbrella skips it and any custom skips it too.

  5.   Alfonso said

    But then you have to use a custom firm or only with the tinyumbrella (as always), okay?

    with the tinyumbrella

    Hi Gnzl.
    I wanted to ask you if it is convenient to pass the jb of comex to my iphone with 4.3.3 that already had jailbreak. Is it more stable? works better?

    and if so ... what procedure do I follow?
    Restore from itunes? or from the phone itself….
    I would appreciate it very much because I am somewhat lost,

    it's not that it's bad, but sometimes I notice certain slowdowns on the iphone, on safari, even springboard. (I have no theme, not even sbsettings or any addon of these)
    but when this new jailbreak appears ... I have wondered if it also entails more agility for the iphone with respect to the previous existing jailbreak
    thank you very much
    and above all:
    YOU'RE THE BEST !

    1.    gnzl said

      thanks sara, as a general rule it is not advisable to restore to do it again, I have done it because I am a geek.
      You should not have slowdowns with any jailbreak, you should look for what is causing them.
      Either way it is easier to restore and do it again.
      .
      So yes

    Friends, I have an iOS 3.1.2 device, they had not updated it until today and it happens that when I try to load any firmware lower than 4.2.1 it throws the blessed error 3194, I have already tried anyway, with tinyumbrella as it appears in this post, also modifying the hosts file and also installing itunes from scratch on a newly formatted computer without modifying anything, so what is this error due to? but it doesn't work like with the 3gs, it always throws me the error 1600 or 1601.

    your patience is appreciated.
