    I am thinking firmware for wrong device. Did you download it seperately, or from itunes update?

    I downloaded the Ipsw from apple.

    It has never been jailbroken or anything. Very strange!

    He probably has a 4.0 IPSW and 4.0.1 is the current build....download 4.0.1 for your phone so :)

    Do you need to go to 4.0 first, before 4.01, seeing as 4.0 is a major release?

    No, you don't need 4.0 first, and you cannot even install 4.0 any more (unless you had SHSH backed up).. .

    What is the filename of the IPSW? For a 3GS it should begin with 'iPhone2,1'..

    Hey,

    Tried again this morning and I'm getting error 3194.

    Seemingly this only happens when your trying to downgrade from 4.0.

    I'm on 3.1.3 never jailbreak so not downgrading in any shape or form

    Very odd. Do you have access to another computer to try it on?

    Have you encrypted your backups by any chance?
