The error 3194 means that "This device is not eligible for the requested build" A way to fix this problem is (Only on PC) 1st. Close iTunes 2nd. Look in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ Look for the "hosts" file, and click-it, when it asks you with what program do you want to open it, select "notepad". When the file opens, go to the very bottom of the text and copy this: 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com

After that, save it, open iTunes and try to restore with the firmware you tried last time. And it should work, when the restore finish, open the "hosts" file and erase the code you pasted there, so iTunes can look for updates properly.
