I have what seems to be a common problem with iPhones (mine is an iPhone 4), a recovery loop, so I try to restore it but now I get this error:
"Unable to restore iPhone. Unknown error -1"
And it fails to restore after saying
"Restoring iPhone firmware"
I've tried using a local ipsw file (iPhone3,1_6.0_10A403_Restore.ipsw) however I get error 3194. I don't care about any of the data on the phone if that matters. I think the phone was jailbroken before the recovery loop.
How do I fix this and get some (any) firmware successfully into the phone?

Did you try to update your iTunes before putting the iPhone on DFU mode? It should be the problem since I had this problem before and when I did update to iTunes it worked :)
