So I just got my 32GB iPod and decided to jailbreak it. Sadly, it's bricked. How can I restore it? I tried the Home+Turn off button, but iTunes didn't recognize anything.



What can I do?

Edit: Home+Turn off is the only way to turn off my iPod.
 
nice, i just got my ipod 32 gb too, and i jailbroke it (ziphone) and it works amazingly, have never get stuck or bricked! works really great, i have 1.1.4 firmware.
 
Good maybe you can help me.

>.< I got it fixed. Sorry everyone, I just got a little anxious.

My itunes cant see my ipod touch so i cant restore it. I jailbroke it with ziphone using 1.1.4
I've tried restarting by holding both buttons, I dont know what thats supposed to do but it isnt helping me.

I just had the same problem last night and got pretty frantic, too. I posted the solution that I found online:

1) Plug your IPT into the USB port on your PC or Mac.
2) Start the standard reset procedure: Hold down sleep AND menu buttons (about 10 seconds)
3) When silver Apple logo comes up, let go of the sleep button, but KEEP the menu button held for another several seconds until you see the ITunes logo and USB cable picture come up.
4) If ITunes doesn't auto-launch within a minute or so, launch it and you should be able to see your I-Pod in it.
5) Follow ITunes instructions for restoring your IPT.

Of course, you will lose all your content and settings, but you can restore the content from Itunes.
