Hello guys,
I am a new users for iphone. Few months ago, one of my relative give me a Iphone 5s and I was using it. Before some days I updated IOS 9 to it without taking backup. At that time unfortunately my Iphone stuck in the updating process. I don't know what happened and I tried to downgrade to IOS 8.4.1 in DFU mode by watching Youtube but it also stuck in the last process showing error 3194. After that I again tried to re-updated IOS 9 latest but this time it gives error "incompatible firmware" what happened. I m very upset that my iphone is bricked?

I tried to restore this file using DFU Mode
for IOS 8.4.1 - iPhone6,1_8.4.1_12H321_Restore.ipsw
for IOS 9 - iPhone6,1_9.0_13A344_Restore.ipsw

I also changed the IP of Host file in the system drive.
I am using my Windows PC.
I would be grateful If you give correct suggestion.
Thank You.

My Iphone 5s Model is A1530 which firmware is my proper firmware?
Look at the links I posted. Your model is on one of those pages. If it's a 6,2 then you need the firmware for that model, rather than the 6,1 firmware you have.
