I have the same problem on my ipad( Can't restore, error3194) but I manage to save my ipad by going to Hosts

1)opening Mac terminal,

2) type sudo nano /private/etc/hosts

3)Password

4)Put a # on anything with gs.apple.com(if all have # just go to step5)

5)Press Control-o together to save

6)Press Control-x together to exit

7)Plug in USB cable, press sleep/wake button and Home button together

until you are in recovery mode

8)Restore and Update

just want to add here i figured it out now I did a evasion jailbreak which was a mistake android is only phone you can do that on and not get stuck anyways heres what i did


restart computer


turned off anti virus


turned off firewall


went to windows\system32\drivers\etc\host


open host file in notepad right click it or double click it


scroll allway down look for anything that says gsm.apple


delete that line leave the 127. addys alone


go to cmd or dos prompt by typing cmd in search


type in "ipconfig /flushdns" without quotes and put space after ipconfig to make sure its all flushed out


put your phone in the mode for the computer to detect it


press home and power etc.... and hold home until itunes recognizes it


make sure you have a good usb cable mine was bad caused communication errors they way you know is when it says waiting for iphone quickly unplug your usb cable and reconnect it maybe try it again then it should do something if your cable is bad it will start showing apple logo with small bar loading or starting too


if it quits loading after it started working then you have communicatione error get a new usb cable

once i changed mine no more errors at all


this is a long list but it takes tim

i cant restore my iphone error 3194
