So, my 4th generation iTouch had recently ceased to have any kind of visuals when I'm playing a video (I was only able to see a black screen, whether it be from YouTube or a video I recorded myself on the iTouch); the audio worked fine, there was just a problem with the viewing.
I decided to reset my iTouch, hoping it would allow all the functions to work properly again. After I did so, however, the only thing on the screen was the
and nothing else (no loading bar, nothing). Occasionally, the screen would change into a complete white screen for about 2 seconds then go back to the .
I have tried the "holding down the home & sleep/wake button; releasing only the sleep/wake button" etc option, but it did not work. I spent over 5 hours yesterday trying to research these restoration issues.
First, when I connected the iTouch with iTunes on my computer to allow it to restore, I spent over an hour to download the restoration file; in the end, however, it gave me the message that "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "iPod". the network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
^I did this process 3 times but to no avail.
I tried the felixbruns site, but with all the firmwares I tried to restore with my iTouch, it said that it wan't compatible.
I then attempted to download the "4.1.0 (4G): iPod4,1_4.1_8B117_Restore.ipsw" firmware from the ijailbreak site. The restoration process got a tad further but in the end, it gave me a 3194 error message (did this process 2 times). Currently speaking, I am downloading the "4.2.1 (4G): iPod4,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw" firmware to see if it will work as well.
My iTouch is still in a reboot loop & I am feeling very frustrated that nothing will fix it. What should I do now?
Please help, & thank you!
