My iPod Touch is ****ed. When I try to turn it on it says it's in read-only mode.

I can't do anything besides turn the device off and on. Once I turn the device on and the apple symbols goes away, the iPod goes to a black screen with white letters and it says:

Singleuser boot -- fsck not done
Root device is mounted read- only

If you want to make modifications to files:

/sbin/fsck-fy
/sbin/mount - uw /

If you wish to boot the system:

exit


And when I plug in my USB cable, some more words come up on the iPod, but the iPod never gets recognized in iTunes.

Any ideas?

try and put it into recovery mode and restore it.

I just did and it said that there was an error when trying to recover it.

I'm going to try it again, but is there any other suggestions?

Update:

I tried restoring it again and I received the same error message..

The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (1604).

try putting it in DFU mode by using iLiberty+ and then restoring.

or if that DFU doesn't work you could try this:

1. Connect iPod to Mac/PC - keep iTunes open
2. hold down power and home button
3. wait until red slider appears to shut down iPod, keep holding down the buttons, count 4-5 seconds (while iPod shuts down)
4. release power-button, keep home button pressed (there should be no Apple logo! If it appears, you waited too long to release the powerbutton - try again )
5. wait 5-10 seconds - iTunes should then prompt that there's an iPod connected in "restore mode"
