100% Working - Fix iPad/iPad2/iPhone/iTouch iTunes 3194 error, Stuck in recovery, boot issues etc.

Is your ipad/ipad2, iPhone or iTouch not seen by iTunes or it does not boot or it's stuck on the apple logo or it's bricked you have tried everthing and nothing works.... This will get you up and running again. ~~~~~~This always works UNLESS you have a hardware failure on your iPhone/iTouch~~~~~~ - Connect usb cable - PC to iPod - Start up iTunes - it's ok if iTunes does not recognize it -Hold down Power button and Home button for 10 seconds (yes both at the same time) -Release Power button and keep holding home button untill iTunes detects it (about 10 seconds) -Click on Restore button on iTunes -For custom firmware or firmware that you have already downloded and know it's location where it's location is on your PC, hold down the Shift key and then click the restore button. Need firmware? download it here http //www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE..................... I have come accross iTunes errors when tring to restore(3194) and also that device is stuck in a black screen recovery state, here was my fix... I had nothing but itunes errors(3194), nothing worked, using iReb and tiny unbrella did nothing. iTouch Was stuck in recovery mode nothing else but a black screen. I finally restored to this firmware(4.3.2) with an edited hosts file, this is how it's done... Find the hosts file in C \Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder. Upen the hosts file with notepad. Add these to the end of hosts file and overwrite the original file 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com OR 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com I had added both and it worked. When you are finished restoring remove the "74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com" and "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com " line from your hosts file again and overwrite the file so that iTunes can properly update as usual *************************** Having problems overwriting hosts file ....Click Start - All Programs - Accessories. Right-click on Notepad, then click Run as administrator. Open the Hosts file (from the notepad you just opened)
