I used ifaith to check for shsh but there was no shsh for that device.
is there anyway to downgrade or use ios 7.0.4 on this device?
I've used to edit host file in my etc folder

I know that there is lots of topics talking on this problem but I could't find any answer for that so I made this new topic.

Change pc & use itunes 11 your problem solved 100% tested me.few time latest itunes problem.so use old version.

that's right, it seems to be hardware BUT if there is any custom firmware for that then we could restore ios 7.0.4 or later without any 3194 at the middle of restore!

Me to have same 3194 error on my windows pc when I try to update my customers ipad2 to ios 7.0.4. . Only this iPad is stuck at recovery mode. After some research I found that some times it's happens because of OS intrupt. So I installed another os inside my pc (VMware workstation.) and do the same thing. Succeed.

Try in another operating system.

And success to downgrade again to 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 on windows using ifaith
*itunes must lower 11.0.5 (recomended 11.0) doest work with latest itunes

I've also done doing this without modifying host file.

also for downgrading : there was no shsh for that phone.

Hopefully, iTunes will restore it to the correct iOS firmware you pointed to and update your iPhone to it.

tnx for your guide
but:
I've used to edit host file
2- i've used tiny here
3- i've used shsh using ifaith, redsnow and also tiny

BUT

NO SUCCESS

hello
it is very easy
just delet the host file from XP
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
and your problem will solve ERROR 3194
that because of using tinny umbrella

That's not the way.

That is not a hardware problem. Error 3194 means there is error between verifying the iOS with apple servers. This usually happen with unsigned / no longer signed by apple / custom firmwares.

As already suggested by other members you can manipulate host file. Try latest iTunes version with another copy iOS 7.0.4. Disable any anti virus / firewall in use. Try different machine.

[aminnobakht]

And again...
That's not the solution
We need custom iOS firmware, bcz we need to bypass baseband verification.

and that baseband preserved custom iOS7 firmwire is hard to cook for time being.

[aminnobakht]

Sure, that's so hard.
But as it seems that it is the only way.
