Someone help me before I start to smash my iPhone with a hammer!

I can't install custom firmware on my iPhone?
3194 error happens!

I've tried every possible way to fix it


HELP!

Change your host files. If you opened up tiny umbrella prior to trying to restore, you might have to change settings. Uncheck the set host to cydia box that should fix it

Are you using ireb or redsn0w's pwned dfu? It wont work without being in that mode.

[brutal truth]

Have you tried editing the host file directly?

Locate the Hosts file:
Windows:
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate hosts file.
Open and edit the hosts file in Notepad.
Note: Win 7 and Vista users MUST run Notepad with admin privileges. Right click on Notepad app and select Run as Administrator.
Mac OS X:
Go to \etc\ directory and locate hosts file. Copy it on your desktop
Open the hosts file in TextEdit.
Add the following lines to the very bottom of the hosts file:
74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
remove any other line that contains gs.apple.com
Put your iDevice into DFU Mode and Try restoring it via iTunes.

He said he already did that

Are you sure you have shsh blobs saved for the firmware you're restoring to?

[brutal truth]

Or remove all lines with gs apple if going to 5.0.1.

I just want to activate it :/

If you run redsn0w it will hactivate. Just uncheck install cydia.

[oxfordmerlin]

[brutal truth]

What didn't happen? What is the error? Activation and 1394 are different things.
