Ok its past 2 am & i am going crazy trying to get my iphone 4 back up.

It is Jailbroken, was on iOS 5.1.1 9206 I was trying to update to iOS 6 but the downloading via iTunes was taking too long.. so i used a download manager & downloaded the ipsw from a link
the file name was iPhone3,1_6.0_10A403_Restore and it verifies and all fine.

I connected my iphone and backed it up, held on shift key and pressed restore in itunes selected the ipsw file & it started restoring, seemed normal & i have done it a few times before.

almost the end of it i get an error The iPhone could not be restored. An Unknown error occurred (14) and the iphone was showing the connect to iTunes logo. I tried a restart of my computer & the iphone & tried again.. still same error

So i thought i'd go back to the firmware i was on & then try to restore to iOS 6. So i did the same step as above & selected the 5.1.1 ipsw, it started doing its thing but in a few minutes i got another error. The iPhone could not be restored. An Unknown error occured (3194)

I've tried from DFU mode as well & it didin't work from there. so do you guys have any idea on how to fix this or should i throw it out?
 
Thank you guys but i think it was the firmware that i downloaded that was the issue. I let iTunes download the firmware and restore it & it worked. restoring my apps right now. It sucks that there is no Cydia yet.

With iPhone 4 and iOS 6, jailbreak should be out pretty soon. It is the A5X and A6 devices which might take longer.
 
you can jailbreak using redsn0w 13.0dev version.. google out the step by step tutorials.. its been working for me since the day ios 6 was out without any fuss..
