Issues with downgrading

[Xuochiok]

Hello all,

Just some info

I am currently running the latest version of iOS on my iPhone 5s (A1530) bought in New Zealand, currently situated in America.

I am trying to restore or even update it to an older version iOS 8.0.2 but every firmware I've tried comes up with error 3194 unknown error occured.

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to iPhoneForums, Xuochiok!

It's not possible to downgrade to an older iOS version. The only one you're able to update to, is iOS 8.1.2, which is the most recent one at the moment. That's the reason why you get this error.
