iPod touch does not turn on, help needed.

Hey all,

I'm seeking help with my iPod touch.

After doing lots of reading and getting convinced that I couldn't brick my iPod touch through jailbreaking, I decided to try it.

My firmware was 3.1.2 and I had my iPod at Christmas time. (it was bought around November 09, I'm not sure which version of iPod this would make it, but it may help diagnostics.)

So I started using "blackra1n" and I figured it wasn't working properly as it was being unresponsive and after a fair amount of time still was not progressing at all.

At this point, upon turning my iPod on I'd get the "plug me into iTunes" picture, prompting me to reset my iPod.

I thought it may be better to reset my iPod, and try the jailbreak from fresh. I plugged into iTunes and went through the recovery procedure (I believe this may have also upgraded my firmware to 3.1.3), however, upon reaching the end of the restoration procedure, I got some description of error (the number 6 rings a bell) and now my iPod is completely unresponsive.

It will not turn on and despite multiple variations of home and power button pressing, I dont even get the "connect me to iTunes" picture.

When I plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes does not recognise it and if I press home+power Windows finds the iPod but doesn't recognise it - "USB Device Not Recognised".

I'm not sure what to do from here because I can't seem to even boot it into recovery mode, any help would be much appreciated.

Below is my "blackra1n" log :

Many thanks,

Thanks for the reassurance ^^.

If anyone knows anything about it, I'd be very thankful for any info.

*Sobs*

Thanks. I managed to fix it... I did it quite early yesterday but forgot to post here.

My current progress :

I'm now at the stage where I've figured how to recover it from whatever. I have custom firmware which I'd lick to patch but I keep getting 1601 error whenever I try to put it on my iPod.

I think despite my iPod being bought recently, as it is only 8GB I think it's 2nd Gen as all of the 2nd Gen firmwares work whereas the 3rd Gen don't.

As it stands, I'm in a cycle of try to jailbreak -> restore -> try jailbreak.....

Although my JBing is giving me no luck. I get stuck on blackra1n on "entering recovery mode", on redn0w at "connecting to server"? (I think that's what it said), and when I try to impliment my firmware I get 1601.

Update :

I'm getting pretty close now. Using redsn0w, it goes through all the expected procedures but at the end, rather than booting my jailbroken iPod it just boots into recovery mode. I've read that this is only because it's tethered and if I do a tethered reboot after this occurs it will work.... But I'm finding this is not the case.

Any suggestions?

Final Update ^^ :

I got it working yesterday, I think it turns out that one of my firewalls/AV was stopping blackra1n from working....

After days and days of trying.... In the end all it took was one click

Thanks all
