I've also took these steps which apple support recommends on the following link:

Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

In addition, I'm doing this on my personal network at home which I have internet indeed and I can load apple website. I've tested it through Normal, VPN and Proxy connections too. But still no success.

  • PC OS: Windows 8
  • iTunes version: 11.1.5.5
  • iPod model: iPod Touch 4G 32GB
  • Jailbroken iOS version installed on iPod currently: 6.1 (10B144)
  • iOS version that I want to restore the iPod to: 6.0.1 (10A523) or 6.1.3 (10B329) or 6.0.1 (10A523) or 6.1.6 (10B500) (I've tested all ispw files).

Best Answer

Make sure that all Apple-related entries are removed from your hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, then put the device in DFU mode and restore it.

  1. Connect the device to your computer and turn it off.

  2. Hold the power button and the home button together for 10 seconds, then release the power button but keep holding the home button.

  3. Keep holding home further and a message should appear in iTunes telling you that the connected device must be restored.
