Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Trying to unlock my iPhone 4 because my contract is up and I want to change providers.

I keep getting Error 3194 when I try restore it. So annoying. My iTunes is updated and my iPhone is running the latest operating system.

Everything I've read online is about jailbroken phones or involves deleting host files or some shit.

I just want to restore my phone!

plug it in with itunes open then restart it and hold the home button (i think that's how you do it, i posted the exact technique somewhere in the last couple of pages) it's the last ditch restore method and is slightly different to the standard restore through itunes i believe.

am also waiting for my gf's old iphone 4 to be unlocked as well to replace my broken iphone 3gs and they're taking forever. may end up just buying an iphone 5 instead at this rate.
