error 3194 when downgrading iphone 4 5.0.1 to 4.3.3

[pctek]

I have a iphone 4g and last night I let itunes install the latest firmware 5.0.1, now I want to downgrade it to 4.3.3 so I can jailbreak it and unlock it to work with my custom cutting tmobile sim card micro.

When the phone is in DFU of course and I go to hold shift and select 4.3.3 to restore I get error unknown 3194.

I tried different host file ip address and deleted the host file all together still same error message.

I read a website guide to specifically downgrade 5.0.1 to 4.3.3 and it says " ios 4.3.3 blobs required"

I dont know if it means that I needed to have 4.3.3 installed already on the phone and saved its shsh blobs, which I dont see how cause I have 5.0.1 installed currently, I did save the blobs for the current 5.0.1.

Does anyone know whats going on here? Thanks

You need to have your shsh blobs if you gonna downgrade. No shsh blobs means no downgrading

Ok I did save/backed up the blobs with the current 5.0.1 is this correct i saved it on my desktop, but now what? what are the next steps then i dont get this.

Am I suppose to point itunes to the blob file of 5.0.1 on my desktop? If not then I dont have a 4.3.3 blob file cause I never knew I had to save it before updating to the newest 5.0.1. thanks

You saved 4.3.3?

You saved 4.3.3?

No I never saved shsh blobs of 4.3.3 When I bought it used last from a computer customer I wanted to restore to factory defaults via itunes and itunes also installed the new 5.0.1 now I want to simply downgrade to 4.3.3 cause I can jailbreak it and unlock it for tmobile.

Or do you know a way to keep this 5.0.1 and jailbreak it and unlock it?

I thought the iphone 4 was already unlocked from factory I guess not it wont see my cut tmobile card. Thanks

If you didn't save the blobs ya can't downgrade

[pctek]

so the only option is now its stuck on 5.0.1 so just jailbreak it and wait until next monday for unlocking it?

That is correct.
