No, the blobs are phone specific. You MUST have the blobs for THAT phone for a given firmware to be able to restore to it.

If you close Tiny Umbrella and find your "Hosts" file simply put a number sign in front of the one that says "gs.apple". That was put there by Tiny Umbrella (likely) and you need to make sure you are not using it if trying to do an official restore. I don't remember the path to that file just google it and once you modify it make sure you save it then open iTunes and try again. You should NOT get the 3194 error at that point.

Apple is still signing the 4.1 firmware so you could also restore to that if you download it. Better still make a custom firmware to avoid the 1015 error.
