So now everyone's trying hard to downgrade their iPhones/ iPods / iPads back to iOS 5.1.1 , but if they haven't saved their SHSH blobs , then its particularly of no use .
The same thing happened to me , I was figuring out - how to downgrade my iPhone back to iOS 5.1.1 without SHSH blobs , so for the first time ever used Redsn0w to finish my task , but what it did was bricked my iPhone .
So at the end , I finally had to restore my iPhone but iTunes wasn't allowing me to do that , it showed me error # 3194 . I'm pretty sure , that many oh you have tried this method to fix your iPhone and got stuck here .
Here's a simple way to fix that
(I'm using a Windows Machine , so the same should also be applicable to Mac OS X )
- First of all , Go to your Local Disk (It is normally the C:/ Drive )
- Select Windows , then head to System32 Folder .
- From there go to the Drivers Folder and then hit the 'etc' folder
- Click on Hosts , and open it using NotePad .
- Now close all iTunes related Programs and iTunes .
- And just add the following line at the end.
#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
- That's it , now just save it .
