Strange Iphone(Ipod) problem struggline to restore it any other thing I can do?

[The Dog]

Hi I unlocked/Jailbreak a customers phone 2 weeks ago. He came in and said when he clicks on the IPOD icon it just flashes up and goes back to main screen. It is a 3.1.3 (7E18) 05.12.01. I have backed it up but am struggling to get it to restore same version. I have used Cydia and local host umbrella to save the SHSH. But I am always getting the error 3194 even when going into the Host Files and changing the server trick! So Failing me being able to restore is there any other reason the IPOD has become corrupted? The phone is working fine apart from the IPOD!

mate use search button in the forum next time as that was explained so many times


To this end, I have constructed a server that duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple's signature server, except using "on file" results rather than live requests.
All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locally define bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests to Apple's signature server to Cydia.
So, open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Now, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead. Doing this will allow iTunes to access signatures already stored by Cydia's "on file" feature.
This server will also act as a cache for any SHSH blobs it hasn't seen, acting as an intermediary to Apple's server. This effectively registers your device with the "on file" mechanism, which means you can now enjoy the protections of being able to downgrade your firmware in the future even if you aren't jailbroken.

You must have no understood what I meant by going into Host file and changing the server trick! I done that of course!

Anyway I have just deleted 4GB of music using Ifunbox as he has his music backed up and it is at least staying on IPOD now. Whether it will work when he puts the music back on is something else!

Hard to tell what file corrupted it of course!
