Problem with iPod restore? (evasi0n jailbreak)

[uno-problemo]

i jailbroke my ipod 5g a bit ago on ios 6.1 with evasi0n.
i decided that i wanted to restore as it wasn't much use.
i downloaded the ios 6.1 ipsw and tried to restore it using that.
Error 3194 (unknown error occured)

So i tried to empty it using the 'erase all content and settings' option in the settings app. i was left with a never-ending spinning wheel. i force shut it down and it was fine afterwards.

I can't seem to find a way of restoring it!!! i can use it fine, but if i left it i wouldn't be able to update or restore again!
i have tried restoring using DFU mode, to no avail.
i have a horrible feeling that the jailbreak is preventing the restore from happening, not an itunes problem.

can anyone help? i've only had the ipod 2 months!!

So uh....2 things

1) Jailbreaking 101, you are never supposed to use the erase all contents and settings button, jailbreaking changes the file structure and that button results in the never ending spin wheel

2) Apple stopped signing 6.1 and you cannot restore to it anymore, you were supposed to click restore in iTunes and let it do its thing.

So no, you have to put it in DFU mode, if its not detecting in iTunes, you are doing it wrong, the jailbreak would not prevent restores, so that is not the correct train of thought. But good thing is you can never brick an iDevice, so try harder, but it should go into DFU unless you have a hardware issue as well.

As said above, you have to restore to iOS 6.1.2 (the current latest version). iOS 6.1.2 is still jailbreakable, just make sure to download the latest version of evasi0n

it works, it's just i wouldn't be able to restore / update

----------

anyway, i'm downloading the 6.1.2 ipsw now - it's quite big and our download speed is as slow as mertesacker so i'll attempt to restore it later

thanks for the quick replies by the way - this is my first time on a forum
