iPod touch 64g 3rd gen, stuck...

[DigitHeads]

i have a 64Gb iPod touch 3rd gen. my son tried to jailbreak it unsuccessfully and now it is stuck. all i get on the iPod display is the apple and the spinning circle. i have gone into DFU mode and tried to restore, i am unable to load any downloaded IPSW, they all give the same error - device not eligible for build - if i restore it to 4.3.5, it does me no good, the device seems ok in iTunes, but my physical display does not change. how can i recover this device so that it will boot properly.
