Hey Harry Smith.
For fixing this error :
-
Quit your ITunes ;
-
Go to the host file with administrator privileges ;
-
Write this (74.208.105.171.gs.apple.com) ;
-
Connect your IPhone to the computer ;
-
Launch ITunes ;
-
Turn your IPhone to the DFU mode and turn off your IPhone ;
-
Use ITunes restore as usual with IOS device ;
-
After iOS update is completed ;
-
Remove the (74.208.105.171.gs.apple.com) from your hosts file, so that ITune can be updated properly.
Hopefully this will work.

If you want to downgrade to the recent iOS and you are receiving error 3194, it is because there are illegal software installed in your device that performs unauthorized revisions to your iOS. Uninstall it first and then downgrade again. Or there are some security software installed.
You can also try the following:
– Upgrade to the iTunes latest version.
– Do not use old .ipsw file. Move the present .ipsw file or restore using a different user to that iTunes will download a new .ipsw file.
– Modify the gs.apple.com redirect from the hosts file and restart your computer.
