SolDios Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ok, so basicly I got my iphone 3g the other day and the wifi wouldn't work, so I wanted to see if it was the firmware that was the problem. So I downgraded it by downloading the genuine apple firmware (3.1.3) and using shift click to apply it. However I had no luck and tried to put it back, however all I got was an error (3194) so ive tried using both iReb and tiny umbrella to try and load the latest firmware on it but still no luck.Currently it is stuck in dfu mode, it shows up in itunes but can not be restored because of the 3194 error.Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 put it in the washnah but seriously just do a hard reset duhhhold the lock button and home button for 10 seconds until the apple logo comes up, it will wipe your phone and reset it back to the very 1st firmware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
