iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode and will not restore in itunes. HELP!

Should have thought about all of this before trying to jailbreak your phone.

If you read the Terms of Use for this forum that you agreed to before posting here, you'd find that discussion of jailbroken phones is prohibited.

You will have to look elsewhere on the internet for help with your problem.

Good luck.

FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.

Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).

Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.

Glad to help!

I`m facing the same problem as i also tried to jailbreak it which is really not good. I`m using Iphone 4 n i tried to downgrade to 4.3.3 from 4.3.5, its stuck at itunes screen and in dfu mode. cant restore it and its factory unlocked as well. its just I`m facing error 3194 the most common one and unable to fix it. no body is able to contact me.

plz help

Did you follow the instructions EXACTLY in the "Correct Answer" embedded in the first message in this thread? And I mean EXACTLY. Getting something wrong, like not editing the Hosts file correctly or holding SLEEP for even a second after the screen goes blank will not work.
